Pinnacle account management from the US?

I think you are fine, as long as you don't make any bets from the U.S. I would contact their CS and ask them though.

just send them an email that you split your time between both country's
They will respond with a "you can't wager from us email"blah blah
Just make sure you wager from other country first and for at least three months or so
Than wager as normal from anywhere
Don't do anything stupid and you will be fine

I guess I can email them, but I figured I'd run it by you guys first.

It sounds to me that you want to have a relative in Greece set up an account so that you can use it to wager from the U.S. You are exactly right that they will flag your IP address. They don't want that kind of business, and take active steps to flush it out.

You can get them to setup an account and then have them set up an old windows box that just sits in the corner. Load it up with a program called Teamviewer, this will let you connect to it remotely and control the computer as if you are sitting in front of it. Connecting to pinny will then be from their IP while you control it from the USA.

Great idea on the window box. Good circulation

My some friends who have an pinnacle account with hk, Can & China address. but he is a US resident. he only wager in USA with no problem at all by using E-mallets. If you ask them, of course they will say that "you are allow to wager in USA". IMO, just no deposits from/withdrawals sent to the USA.

i was thinking of doing this with family in u.k. so i could use neteller, just to be be safe just email your plays let the people in greece make the actuall plays,

hope your family in Greece is ok, some nasty stuff going on over there

Use a VPN connection set up threw your family's computer in Greece then have them get one of their utility bills in your name. You will be good to go.

Many Americans betting Pinnacle through Canadian brokers,of course all acounts are managed by the broker and bets must be done over a phone with the broker, the broker then makes the physical bet for you.

Not the best way to bet,but you get the Pinny numbers ,and the broker usually sends the winnings Via MONEY GRAM or **.

i have heard you can manage it,but they are bad consequences when you get caught.i never gambled with these guys but i wished they would have stuck it out like the mickey from bookmaker and spiro from The Greek.maybe one day they will come back for us usa'ers.
