Hi guys,
On Friday evening, I made a deposit to Pinnacle and placed a large bet on a well known football team.
I follow an expensive tipster and use the books with the highest price.
Anyway, in this case Pinnaclesports had the best price so I deposited and placed the bet. The bet won and I want to withdraw but now Pinnacle are saying I need to rollover my deposit 5 times or pay in excess of £1000 to get my winnings back.
This has never happened before and I am sure that this rule they refer to was not on their website when I deposited.
Anyone have any suggestions?
new terms it seems.

That's crazy. I could potentially end up with a huge six figure sum in a book which doesn't even publish a telephone number.
Does anyone know when these new terms were introduced?
The full story is that i deposited 6000euros,lost some bets and was left with 700 euros,deposited 6000euros again and placed a 4.7k bet on a soccer ah, wanted to bet something on mlb and deposited another 4k. Had in pending bets 12k and my balance went to 20 winning all pending bets.now cant withdraw without betting another 68.000 euros. Clearly they calculate to required rollover even the 6k deposit that was almost all lost ( 5.2k exactly ).
Thats all and i can even post history here.... Shame for pinnacle...
I absolutely agree with you!
Pinnaclesports has great offer but it is hardly to worth of such cost. This is kind of D rank bookmaker manner which try to lock your fund or will make money on your withdrawals where fees are much higher than real processing cost which is incurred to pinnacle.
Anyone who is on pinnaclesports’s side is wrong at this time. If someone is telling here he would pay for this but he cannot reach their service is probably laying... You may try to reach their site using VPN and with help of agent maybe?(Asianconnect88.com?) - It is costing you nothing and purchase of VPN is in comparison to your need nothing.
Who is thinking that pinny is making only small margin on bets is very likely wrong guessing we would need to have deeper insight into the business. I would not let myself mislead by whatever pinnacle gives us know about itself... Would not be surprised whenever their profits were above 30% of volumes overall after the month. (It is hardly 2-3%)
I liked also example with superbowl. – Very truly and full of sense what was written.
With full respect to the most recognized and BEST on-line gambling service which pinnaclesports offers this is the case they made miscalculation. Hopefully they will set everything to the right place so everyone will be happy to use their service again.
Agencies or SBObet is on the best way to replace pinnaclesports at least to cover soccer betting imo!

X 1 deposit is reasonable, anything more is not. In fact I don't know of any other Sportsbook that has this x 5 rule. Even worse they apply to losing deposits.
It is absolutely crazy.
Behaviour of a scam bookie trying to apply these new rules to old deposits.
Pinnacle is very weak now. I know everyone will say I am nuts. But they are close to closing. These rules are for one reason. To keep you from withdrawing your money. They need it to operate.
Believe it or not does not matter to me.
