Did anyone see this coming? Were there any warnings?

Apparently SBR_John did.

Didn't you happen to notice all the new legal disclaimers SBR has on the site now?

Yeah but didn't think that would affect Pinnacle of all books.

All the other majors are still up and running for us..

Yes I seen it and SBR knew what was up too!

Should of warned us. If SBR_JOHN even had the slightest hint this might happen he should of spoken up..

I don't know if John knew that Pinnacle was leaving the U.S. market anytime soon. However, at least he knew about what effects the new laws would bring though, and took it seriously.

I think he wanted to wait until the right time imgv, I think it probably caught him by surprise they did this before the nfl playoffs ended.

See what happens when you elect Republicans to the White House.

Has the fuckin' ape at the controls initiated or conducted a response to any issue correctly?

911 = No
Iraq = Slaughter
Katrina = Playing Golf

Oh but hold on, let's go after those evil bastards wagering on sports. What a fucking joke.

I did not. We hired our new legal team around this time last year. We did expect the recent bill to pass and we had been working on a plan in the event it did.

But as far as Pinnacle pulling out? No. No idea.

Maybe I should have worded my post a bit differently John. I didn't figure you knew of the pinny pullout. I was making a statement in general about your knowledge of the new laws, and were taking the proper steps.
