    Will Pinnacle EVER come back to US market?

    They were the best! They paid almost before I clicked submit on my payout request, no limits so long as you let the line reset, just awesome. Is there anyone that even comes close now? Anyone know if they will be back to US at any time?

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.
