Pinnacle Country of Residence Change

[durito]

Last week when someone suggesting simply chaning your country at pinnacle, would let you bet again I tried it just to see what happened. Changed it to Mexico -- where I do happen to be right now.

Got this email from Pinnacle yesterday:

Dear Pinnacle Sports Client,

We have detected that you have changed the country of residence in your Pinnacle Sports Account. Please note: In order to successfully change your country of residency you will be required to submit proof of residency by following the instructions on the attached Residency Confirmation Form.

Please send a scanned copy with the supporting documentation to changecountry@pinnaclesports.com.

This is the form:

Pinny??? What's up with them??? It's business as usual on my end. Strange!!

I really didnt think it would be as simple as changing your country of residence.

All of us US citizens miss wagering at Pinnacle. Lost money on just about every bet.

Hmmm...this makes me wonder in fact whether sportsbooks would take "Official proof of residence" documentation at prima facie value or delve further?

As I've written before - I could easily provide accommodation addresses here in Thailand with 'photoshopped' copies of utility bills, telephone bills, etc.; I could even provide SIM cards (mobile phone number) for use with a certain VoIP program, which would give the impression you were calling from Thailand (if ever one needed to contact Customer Service).

The only problem I see then is if the sportsbooks saw an inordinate number of accounts being opened from the same street address but different apartment number - would this be a consideration for them?

You can bet that come withdraw time it would be.

(Although I suppose that insofar as you're referring specifically to Pinnacle, they'd eventually just be stopped at the door.)
