#6Business as usual. Info buried in the sports book and industry forum.
Id say that a sprtsbook director at a Vegas book being tied to Pinnacle agents in the US is kind of a big deal, but what do I know.Comment -

#12no.
Three of the charged were actually described as OWNERS of Pinnacle. not just agents. Some veteran bookmakers in that list. Many been in the hot seat before.

#13Citing Pinnacle even indirectly, means Pinnacle won't be able to comment. It would be a legal matter for their people. Looks like some stateside use of the site but Pinnacle the non-US postup company and those people aren't listed in any of these reports nor do they do any transactions through the USComment -

#18Authorities in New York announced the indictment of 25 people Thursday following an investigation into illegal sports betting that spanned five states and allegedly yielded payouts of more than $50 million.
Says " The owners of Curacao-based Pinnaclesports.com, one of the most prominent sports betting websites, were named in the indictment.

#25The owners of Curacao-based Pinnaclesports.com, one of the most prominent sports betting websites, were named in the indictment.
"The ramifications of this are huge," one industry source told ESPN. "The guys involved had to be handling millions of dollars a week."
The professional sports betting world is a complex web of bookmakers, gamblers, people who make bets on behalf of gamblers, and others who collect those bets. It spreads from brick-and-mortar casinos in Nevada, to local bookies in nearly every American city, to Internet sports books mostly based in tropical locales such as Costa Rica and Antigua and Curacao. It is illegal for offshore books to accept wagers over the Internet from people in the United States. Those arrested Wednesday allegedly are agents hired to help gamblers circumvent those laws, as well as bookmakers, distributors and collectors.
"I know that people in the islands are crapping their pants right now," a source with ties to the offshore sports betting industry told ESPN. "The money involved in this is what moved point spreads."Comment -
