Transferring funds to pinnacle

[pokerwhiz90]

I'm a US player

I was wondering is it possible to transfer funds to Pinnacle through another book and than transfer back to another book?

any experiences?

If you are playing from the US you are not allowed to play with Pinnacle, much less keep funds in there.

But yes it is possible to transfer money to Pinnacle and then transfer to another book. However I am pretty sure that there would be a 1x rollover on that.

Another downside to using book to book transfer with Pinnacle is that you lose your free deposit and free withdrawal privileges. You would only be able to use book2book without fees. Because of this I have never done it.

I'm a US citizen and I have an account at Pinnacle. They know about it, and are fine with it. I just had to prove that I don't live there (which I don't).

I have accounts at several books. And I funded pinny via wire transfer. I've never done a book to book transfer with any book.

are your banks out of the us?

I have accounts in the states, and where I live. But I funded pinny with a bank in the states, and they send me wires to that account in the states. They have no problem taking US customers; you just can't live there.

I sent em my driver's license, a local utility bill, and a local bank statement. It wasn't hard, but I suppose all of that could be easily faked. But they completely allow it. Somebody made a post here that Pinnacle allowed it, so I emailed them, and they said yah, and attached a pdf format that I had to print out, sign, scan, and email back to them, along with my documents.
