Sounds great! I just signed up on Pinnacle last week and can't believe I waited this long to sign up there. As I noted earlier today, I'm starting to love the poker-sportsbook combo.

Just wait until you see those baseball lines. Nobody can touch Pinny when it comes to bases.

I have my pinnacle account loaded for my Florida trip, and may leave it loaded when I get back for pucks. Just may leave a balance in there for bases , so I have a choice of lines.

Shit, I forgot mine is too. Hopefully I can reactivate it.

From what I hear, you can not reactivate it. Some sort of GA provision.

I know that the highest rating a book can get is A+ but seriously there should be a seperate category for Pinnacle. It's like a healthy Barry Bonds with a 100 mph fastball and an Ozzie Guillen personality.

Pinnacle is Jessica Alba's ASS.

Anyone know anything about MicroGaming poker? Is this a network they are joining where they will be a skin or will they have a stand-alone room?

Without going too deep into this link, I would say they are contracting into a network. Microgaming develops the most reputable online gaming software products in the industry so it's not surprising Pinnacle has chosen them to power their poker offering.

These are all the other "poker rooms" they are buying into.

Bet365 is there along with BetonUSA and betED.

Thanks isetcap - Didn't realized microgaming was the Prima network, I have actually played with them before. Interesting choice by Pinnacle.

**Max Levine** · 12-21-05, 03:38 PM

Remember that poster complaint about bet365 locking his account for investigation of suspicious activity (collusion and chip dumping)? Pinnacle is now joining the same Prima Network. It would be interesting to see if they get involved in Prima affairs, bypassing them.

Its always a pain in the neck when you take the trouble to join a new Poker room only to find out you already belong to the same network through another Sportsbook or Poker Room.

so when is this going to happen cuz i just went over to pinnacle and i don't see it anywhere on their home page.

**SBR_John** · 12-22-05, 10:21 PM

Kid, best case I would say 45 days.
