Did PINNACLE switch from using Bitpay to Cryptopay? If so, anyone know why?

Also noticed that deposits via Bitcoin are unavailable at the moment.

Yes bitcoin deposits currently unavailable at Pinnacle but I don't know why. Pinnacle site says
"Please Note
CryptoPay transactions are not currently available due to connectivity problems. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try your CryptoPay transaction later."


Just a heads up, if you use the "Muchbetter" app/wallet to fund/withdraw from Pinnacle MuchBetter offers payout via bitcoin and withdrawals are done in less than 30 minutes. This works best if your acct is in USD as Much Better charges conversion fees to/from CAD/USD. MuchBetter also accepts bitcoin to fund their wallet.

Which country are you in? That might be the factor.

This; Bitpay is my option

Mine says Cryptopay. Used to be Bitpay.

Will it make any difference?

I use the BRD wallet because it was one of the wallets Pinnacle suggested for use with Bitpay, but it works everywhere else.

I clicked the link for more info on Cryptopay and it just returns me to the betting menu.

Related to this topic, I have a question about paying with Ledger nano S and Electrum wallet. As you know Pinnacle will just generate an URL (Bitpay) address. You dont see the real BTC destination address, but when u are paying with hardware wallet u need to confirm the BTC URL address in order to process the payment. So you don't have an idea if that URL which is shown on your Ledger really belongs to Pinnacle or Bitpay/Pinnacle. You can only hope that you've not been hacked.

Any solution to this?
