    US players with Pinnacle accounts......Look

    I have someone who is setting up an account for me over there.
    Do any of you know if they check IP addresses to see where the bets are coming from?
    If they do, how do you all make bets?

    Thanks

    Do not try to login to Pinnacle from the states. Get a VPN with an IP in the country where the account is registered.

    Most websites can easily detect if you are using a proxy, which is what I believe Hide My IP is. You'd have to go with a VPN instead.

    Pretty sure they won't let you bet on a post-up account from USA.

    Why aren't you asking that person your question, instead of foolishly making a public post about it?

    If you don't live in the US why not use your own ID?
    Why would you need a VPN?

    Betfair and Pinnacle at least will detect where you are.

    I don't know enough about the VPN issue but I'd be very wary. I'm aware of some Betfair customers who thought they had masked their true location, were caught out and had their accounts closed.

    if you have a stable paid VPN they will not find out who you are.

    a VPN will make your IP address look like it is in another country when it is not.

    Does it pay to go through this hassle? What about when you want to cash out , or why would you want to give another reason to a bookie to withhold your winnings.

    If you like pinnacle this is probably not the best conversation to have in public. This is a good way for them to enforce a complete blackout on USA. If you got in, then be thankful and keep to ourselves.

    Idk about pinnacle. I want to open multiple accounts at several sportsbooks, if I get a VPN which is from the same country as my ID's, then this would work like a charm right ?

    Don't come on here asking for help in how to cheat.

    It's characters like you who make it tougher for genuine players.

    Surely this is a question best asked to Pinny themselves - i.e. "I am on holiday in the US for a couple of weeks - will I still be able to use my account, or can you note down that I will be there from xxx date to xxx date" ?

    That would just be a waste of time.
    It's not that American's aren't allowed to play at Pinnacle. It is anyone physically present in the US regardless of nationality or where they live.
    And besides, that's not what this guys wants to do. He just wants to open multiple accounts with several books. Can't see the point in that at Pinnacle anyway as they don't offer bonuses.

    if I bet my normall bets with a 100% bonus I will always be risking half of my real money to win. If I wager say $200 on a 50/50 for example, I would be risking $100 of my own money to win $400

    Virtual Private Network, its a network you can connet to and get 100% anonymus internet, it can also change your IP to look like whatever country you like. I have figured out all this about the bonus stealing, if you want info you can PM me, its best to keep for yourself so the bookies wont find a way around it.

    This guy should be banned.

    I don't play with cheating books.

    Cheating players outnumber cheating books by a factor of about 1M to one.

    Why are you defending books? They don't care about you . They don't want you to win , not only that , if you win , they can find a reason not to pay you. So whatever works , more power to the guys who want to pull it.

    The objective of SBR is to ensure books play it fair and go into bat for players where it looks as though they may be getting a rough deal.

    How can you on one hand demand books play fair but then turn around and say it's okay to cheat them?
