    Asian Connect Pinbet88 wagering limits lower!

    Ive recently had my limits on PinnacleSports lowered to around 4700 for NFL games....and overall cuts across all sports..I've asked AC why were my limits slashed and they couldn't say.

    Anybody else have their limits lowered? I thought Pinnacle didn't do these kinds of things? I haven't even been winning recently....very strange.

    AC then said if I wanted higher limits that I can do "Skype Betting" with them...anyone have experience with this option?

    Ask them to open a new account for you. Problem solved. I seriously doubt they lowered your limits though. You do realise limits are not the same overnight as just before the game starts?

    Umm @roanil, if you take a look at my previous posts you'll know I'm not a troll. And since you don't know what AC is then how can you be so quick to judge....

    @Alfa, yes that's a great idea don't know why I didn't think of that lol. And yes I realize overnight limits are lower, these limits I'm referring to are right before gametime. I took a short break after that whole fiasco with pinnacle and AC accounts, and recently came back to find the limits lowered across the board for me. I asked the agent why this happened and here are some quotes from him...copying and pasting:

    Yes but we are just brokerage that depends on the book itself.

    We cannot disclose any information as its our management decision as well.

    But we will raised your concern if we can higher your wager limit.

    If you want a higher limit we can offer you Skype Betting.

    No I haven't heard of anyone else thinking limits had tightened on their Pinbet88 accounts. But it's fairly new and the first time agent accounts have been fully separated so could be.

    Have you tried to compare your pinbet88 limits to someone using a direct pinny account?

    Im not a fan of the new PinnacleSports as you guys know, but the limits are substantially higher on sports, especially the more obscure ones, than before the change! I guess thats one plus!

    thats why i like betting into vipsportsbook.eu they offer multiple shops on one acct mollybet platform and limits are huge. the biggest issue i had with ac was that i had to create an acct at every shop i wanted to bet at. it was very tedious. problem solved if you find a broker with mollybet like vipsportsbook.eu

    Hello Andrew! I have exactly the same problem as you, i mean my limits severely dropped ( my limits are now 50% of other Pinbet88 members limits). When reading your story i decided to contact AC asking them to contact Pinbet88 so that they restore my limits, but AC guaranted me such a thing wasn't possible, they were 100% sure limits couldn't be re-raised. I talked them about your story, but they continue telling that 's not possible, what you say didn't happen. So to check all that they asked me your name/username at Pinbet88. I told them of course i only knew your nickname at SBR, "andrew023", but that wasn't enough for them. So: would you accept to communicate me by private message a way for AC to identify you and check what i told them? That may help me to have my limits restored too if i could proove i said the truth...

    "Pinnacle have announced that limits for accounts that have no PT of at least 50% will have limits reduced by 50% effective 29th November 2016.

    PT = position taking by agents ."

    This is correct from AsianConnect.

    Basically AC have a choice to accept part of the risk along with Pinnacle when agent clients place bets.

    If AC don't take up the option to share the risk on your account 50/50 with Pinnacle, then your limits will be halved.



    This is why the new account was immediately half limits for Tristan. Because AC choose not to take any risk on his account.

    ie: if you are a consistent winner, you will probably be getting 50% limits there now.

    Pinnacle should be grateful for all the extra business agents bring them, not treat these customers as second class citizens.

    They can no longer claim they dont limit their customers, because they do now.

    Ahh, that makes sense. SBO and IBC forced position-taking on most (all?) of their agents about 12 months ago, and others like Crown had it before that.

    Asianconnect posted about it unusually candidly at the time:
    http://forum.bettingadvice.com/showp...&postcount=256

    "this is because there are basically 2 kind of bets that goes into the books.

    smart and stupid bets.

    with agent in between, when they know the customers are losers they take the max PT of example 70%. so the book get only 30% of the stupid bet

    but for smart bets, agents take 0% of this bets and make commission out of turnover. 100% of the smart bets goes to the book.

    after many many years, losers get lesser, smarts get more. profit for books get less. hence such decision."

    Based on Heehaww's post...I think the decision was probably made by the agent, not Pinnacle.

    Asian Connect won't even tell me what exchange they use to get their bitcoin prices. They call anything about the nature of how they do things "confidential." How are any of their customers supposed to trust them when they won't disclose basic information about their operations? Like what is this? I brought this up when the euro/bitcoin price they offered me on my deposit was a 80 euros below the selling rate I get on the exchange i use. I understand that the exchange they use in Asia offers bitcoin at a lower price, but refusing to tell me is unnecessary.

    I read so many complaints about AsianConnect and I understand that people by nature like to complain but honestly instead of bashing AsianConnect so much can you at least help novice users to learn about advantages you have for using them:

    • Instant withdrawals - have you guys bothered to read all the amount of complaints people have in SBR about bookies not paying them out? Just 1 good example is "1XBet" literally confiscating funds from people asking them to send physical letters to Russia - don't know a thing about it? Here is a reminder:
      https://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/sportsbooks-industry/3368530-1xbet-blocked-my-account-1742-a.html

    • Instant withdrawals #2 - Try asking the US users here how long it takes them to get a withdrawal processed, they have to wait 3-4 weeks for a freaking check and then deposit the check and wait another 7-14 days for the check to clear and there have been stories of some checks that bounced and left accounts overdrawn.

      So - just to clarify - with AsianConnect you get 0% hassles when you make a withdrawal ... and I've made lots of withdrawals with them.
    • Now regarding limits I have no idea what the OP is talking about, try betting on the NBA Playoffs, you can easily bet $6,000 per bet, and if you feel like you wanna throw away $18,000 just bet 3 times, you won't get the same odds but either way if you are such a big whale then spread your bets on multiple platforms (never keep all your eggs in 1 basket).
    • And lastly - support - have you guys even bothered to notice that AsianConnect works around the clock, literally, 24/7, Memorial day (today) or Christmas or whatever it is - they are available and they will reply to you literally immediately ... can you show me any other provider that will answer your inquiries so fast?

    So perhaps it's about time you stop being ungrateful schmucks and say thank you for the good things as well (not that betting is a 100% good thing but nothing in life is perfect).

    Its good, but you can never know when there is a lack of transparency and no legality to protect you. Now how is someone supposed to feel confident with a 6 figure balance on there.

    Why would anyone keep a 6 figure balance in a sports betting account is beyond me.

    Because some people bet professionally and a bankroll of 5k won't get you very far.
