Requested Funds

I requested funds in the mid-teens at 7:00 am EST today and I am still waiting. How is everyone doing?

[pags11]

I really do wish this was a bad dream...

[HAPPY BOY]

Damn, just read all the posts I can't believe this shiit. man the U.S. is starting to feel like Nazi Germany. Every year were loosing more and more freedoms. Very sad indeed.

[pags11]

yep, very sad happy boy...

I feel like we are playing the game of "and then they came for me."

Clearly the US government does not fear any political fallout. Perhaps Pinnacle and the rest were lagging in their political contributions, and, besides, if everyone wasn't paying taxes on their winnings, well, why not?

WOW

BetCris is really scrambling for all you Pinnacle customers.

Intertops is also offering a 100% deposit bonus for ex-pinnacle customers.

Did you get your funds- I did about 7 hours later, they seem to be paying fine..

[TheGambler]

Hey Nside Info, how do you know that about First Fidelity? the only reason I ask is that I have a good size balance with them as well. please advise where you got your info. thanks for helping us out man

[Bill Dozer]

I'd be very surprised if Fidelity closed anything shortly after other books offered to buy them. Selling has to be the fav vs. closing.

Still waiting twelves hours myself for a payout. I am 99.9% sure they will pay and the situation obviously is such that quick payment can't be expected, but Pinnacle has alway been so fast, I hope my last payout doesn't take a week.

ttmopp - I saw an article last week in Wall Street Journal estimating US betting at 96 billion a year with only 3 Billion occurring in Vegas. If you say roughly 90 billion off shore than just asign a market share to pinny. I would bet it is pretty high maybe 30%. So you could easily be talking about 30 billion annually in lost wagers to Pinny. Just guess off course...

Most of that 93 would be in the illegal sector (locals).

Does anyone know Pinnacles Neteller code?

Sounds like raids/arrests in the week prior to Superbowl to me. Looks like the government is going for maximum impact.

I agree BigLoser, something happened or they would have waited until after the Super Bowl was finished. I am leaning that way also, the Feds would rather worry about something like this instead of catching the real terrorist Bin Laden and his cronies. Thats all messed up if you ask me, I think Bin Ladens cronies are alot more important than this.

so true tblue...

The sky fell that day

[Brock Landers]

Still never know why they left willingly, where others continue just as they did before.

[Stumpage]

Great thread, albeit terrible circumstances.....

[Boner_18]

just as they did before.

Except for the small difference that they are in direct violation of US Federal Law. Pinny decided to play it by the book (pun somewhat intended).

[tltaylor89]

Sad indeed

[Bluehorseshoe]

Still never know why they left willingly, where others continue just as they did before.

Because the main guy lives in the states and the whole BOS arrest thing scared him into leaving the US market.
