    New Pinnaclesports Member?

    i just create an account at pinnacle and i want to make a deposit using my CC. they are asking for a copy of my CC front/back with photo ID. i mean what the hell? other sportsbook don't require a copy of my card or photo ID. is it necessary to provide so much info?

    yeah im on pinnacle had to do the same as well. many online casinos do it so i figure it was standard for the sportsbooks as well. if you prefer not to go through the trouble then you have the option to use one of paypal-type services. they might take a percentage though if im correct. pinnacles the best though so take the time to signup, regardless of the method

    That's weird, when I signed up they didn't ask for anything (a few years ago). Now they want copies of cards?? I use ********** and it's all free

    If I remember correctly they ask you to cover up the security code when making the photocopy for this very reason.
    Giving out your CC info online is always going to have some risk attached to it, with pinnacle this risk is minimal. And as already stated you do have a number of other deposit options.

    They only do it to verify your place of residency, as they don't want American's signing up using fake addresses which they could be prosecuted for. You've got nothing to worry about with Pinnacle.

    Pretty standard I think, or the books will ask you when you withdraw anyway. Pinnacle a top notch book, don't worry about it.
