God saves the pinny

You really should have funds at Matchbook
even when Pinnacle is up you can get better odds there for straight bets
and Betfair would also be a solid option for times like this
SBO and 188 are also good options for US sports
even if you don't maintain funds there all the time and you use Moneybookers you can get funds into those places instantly

Looks like you don't know much about ddos and protection against it, there are different types of such attacks, and if it is some kind of flood, the only thing that counts is provider bandwith (and quality of their admins). Both can be overpowered by huge amount of traffic, which is hundreds times bigger, than usual one.

It is not pinnacle fault, that they are down, no one (again, NO ONE) could repel well-organized ddos attack. Current level of botnets allow to put offline literally any site on the net (well, probably except google which have thousands of servers in a lot of countries).

So just be patient and let them do their work, they are suffering much more than you from this attack.

Upd: the fact they were working for some subnets shows that they are started to cut active botnet ip-addresses. So if you can't access site from you provider - it is fault of you and other people who don't pay enough attention to what happening on their computer.

I confirm and underline the DimOK words:
NO ONE COULD REPEL A WELL-ORGANIZED DDOS ATTACK.

In this case Pinnacle don't have any responsability

Ok, guys, now you can withdraw all your funds because pinnacle was down for about a day, go ahead.

No, it is not. If it is so impossible for Pinnacle or anyone to protect themselves, why are banks not being hit daily?

My take on it is that Pinnacle is just ******* cheap and don't want to spend on proper counter measures.

**CanuckG** · 04-13-11, 04:05 AM

it is back up...not sure what the problem is for you..

DimOk, I dont know much about DDOS attacks. Is there a concern about personal account information in regards to these attacks?

Yeah, SBR is great when it comes to knee jerk reactions.

**tristan** · 04-13-11, 04:06 AM

It's clear that DDOS attack is really annoying, but as far as i'm concerned, and i think that's the case for many other persons too, i'm not only moaning because of that particular occasion: that's a general discontent coz problems of connexions are too frequent on Pinny. Ok usually it's not so long, but Pinny is often down, too often for a book so well rated. They're the best for odds according to me, but technically they're

No, it only affects site response time (from being slow to going down at all, like yesterday). I'm almost sure that problems with access to pinnacle during last months were also because of ddos attacks, they were just not that powerfull.

**lacoste** · 04-13-11, 04:31 AM

Unbelievable, down again X(

**saani** · 04-13-11, 04:56 AM

I have a feeling it will be up and down all day. The trick will be to get your wagers in before the down time hits once it is up again.

**WillC** · 04-13-11, 05:43 AM

up down up down and so it continues

**dynamitappletini** · 04-13-11, 05:52 AM

short term perhaps but most definitely not the right strategy for the long term

Guess how many times they would have to pay in such case
