Will Pinnacle EVER come back to US market?

**do5000** · 03-08-11, 10:06 AM

seems very unlikely. but we can all hope

**JakeLc** · 03-08-11, 10:59 AM

rumors are out there that they are

**degenerate#1** · 03-08-11, 12:20 PM

They should just setup a new company, separate whatever it was that caused them problems from operating in usa then do it up.

**jackkkk2009** · 03-08-11, 12:50 PM

Already ask that question two years ago. They said leaving US market was carefully considered by their management, will very likely be changed..

**Toples** · 03-08-11, 12:58 PM

pinny still the best...no q about it

**ringemup** · 03-08-11, 01:43 PM

yes their keno game was the best in casino too.

**cyberinvestor** · 03-08-11, 01:46 PM

I just loved that they really had no limit on parlays or straight bets so long as you played the max and then reinput the bet. Just awesome.

**Keith Richard** · 03-08-11, 08:38 PM

I really doubt they will ever be back.

**Chopsticks** · 03-08-11, 08:41 PM

Maybe they will come back but only for specific states that decide to regulate online gambling by law. Would be difficult maybe but could happen.

**goblue12** · 03-08-11, 09:52 PM

Not anytime soon.

And those rumors have been "out there" for years. The funds transfer issues are getting harder, not easier, so there's no way Pinnacle would consider coming back.

**OnlyMayo** · 03-08-11, 11:03 PM

I had an E-Mail from them a few months ago that said they have no plans whatsoever to re-open the US Market.

**ThisGuy** · 03-08-11, 11:07 PM

I'd kill a drifter to give one of their VP's an erection ... just sayin

**dbartinbwgc** · 03-08-11, 11:47 PM

YES real soon

**minet123** · 03-09-11, 12:08 AM

we will see

**jcubs55** · 03-09-11, 12:10 AM

That would be amazing but it's not gonna happen until the laws change (IF they every actually do...)

**byronbb** · 03-09-11, 12:49 AM

only with uncle sam's dick in their ass.

**ringemup** · 03-09-11, 12:56 AM

cant wait.

**kidcd** · 03-09-11, 01:56 AM

As soon as it's legalized they will be back till then they have too much to lose

ok,but horse betting is legal in the US.Pinny could open an online racebook right now from the US.
But they don't do it.

**Art Vandeleigh** · 03-09-11, 04:02 AM

The 2 or 3 people who post at this site who end up having grandkids, those kids may be able to play at Pinny. But everyone will be having too much fun flying their flying cars by then, so no one will care about Pinnacle anyway.

**gangeriver** · 03-09-11, 04:41 AM

if a country has some restrictions about gambling/betting, big and respected companies don't accept customers from there. This is a realite. neither French nor Turkish bettors can't use Pinny.

Not really their area of expertise, US racebooks all play into the Tote so there's no way to use their volume/low margin model -- the racebook they had was more of a convenience thing.

**David** · 03-09-11, 10:27 AM

Doubt they return any time soon.

**Metalspined** · 03-10-11, 09:36 PM

I am a long time Pinnacle user, and (knock on wood) are still able to use it even though Norway managed to ban any credit or DC use with gambling. That ban has made some 'funny' situations in recent vacations...hehe...anyway, I really feel for you guys that can't use Pinnacle though...Pinnacle is IMO one of, if not THE best sportsbook for people that takes their 'gambling' seriously. Too bad most countries, the US included, hate the negative money flow a more close nit world makes...

**cyberinvestor** · 03-11-11, 07:56 AM

Metalspined - I agree, to have a book that pays within seconds, literally have no limits on wager size, and quick email support is easily miles ahead of the next best book. Bookmaker and TheGreek are good but they still are a distant second when compared to Pinnacle as a whole.

**accuscoresucks** · 08-27-12, 11:26 PM

as a usa resident it is quite impossible to arb.
government isnt going to let someone make 50k a year .min. 4 only a few hours of work a year.

can still make out good ,but takes more time,and starting capitol

**15805** · 08-29-12, 06:28 PM

I miss Pinnacle since they left in 2007 but I miss Olympic & WWTS just as much!

**alling** · 08-29-12, 06:54 PM

Only when a Libertarian candidate becomes president.
