    Just email them to get unbanned. They banned my IP once because I refreshed way too much for NBA or MLB live game. I was doing it manually and refreshing maybe 20-30 times a min. But a quick email solved the problem.

    If that software is what I think it is (arbitrage to pick off a moving market) then how can you be surprised that they would want to ban you?

    You need to use their xml feed to get lines for your software. Otherwise you'll get banned everytime

    Weird, I did the same thing (refreshing during live games, IP banned). Do you have an account at Pinny? I sent an email to them and they said they couldn't remove the IP ban at this time (I have no Pinny account)

    stop using sportspunter software and you will be fine, this mesure means pinnacle are tired of losing money to you.

    If your residency is in CR, it doesn't matter your citizenship. No need to use wifey, unless you were banned.

    You can be a US citizen, just need to RESIDE outside it.

    Yep. I didn't know it either until I emailed Pinny. BTW how do you like CR? Weather, cost of living, safety, etc..

    I ask as I visited via ship about 12 years ago heading through the Panama Canal. Stopped in some port city (don't remember which one) was a poor, dirty place but I had a fun filled day in the jungle. Still remember my horse "Quarto Mia" had a mind of its own as I constantly rode ahead of the local guides. Scenic place I am sure it is much more developed as this was some time ago.

    love it

    weather is perfect year-round. safety is the only issue - but i've never had issues. maybe it would be a different story if i stumbled around drunk at 3am in downtown.

    Yep, they don't allow automated software so their automated software will cut off your connection, but your actual betting account. Google will do the same thing with a toolbar that pulls multiple searches at once.

    Since they changed their site my regular IP gets blocked out by them and I have to keep emailing them to get it fixed. I don't use a bot but just follow their dynamic lines without needing to refresh. So it is very annoying.
