Pinnacle Sports Professional Review |
| By David Lee |

Sportsbook First Impression
Pinnacle Sports operates a website that targets handicappers across the globe. One of the first features a new user notes during registration is the myriad of languages and monies supported. Users can choose from operating with the Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Euro, Hong Kong Dollar, Japanese Yen, Malaysian Ringgit, New Zealand Dollar, Pound Sterling, Singapore Dollar, Thailand Baht, Taiwan Dollar or US Dollar.
The process of signing up and creating an account is relatively painless. Handicappers click the Join button on the website, sign up and are emailed an account ID they can use. A minimum deposit of $50 is required to create an account with the sportsbook, although the minimum wager is only $1. Once a user has logged in, viewing the day's lines is a simple two-click process of selecting a sport and proposition. Internet users also have the choice of placing bets by telephone, although the minimum wager when calling in is $100.
Funding one's account is easy and handicappers are presented with equally broad options when making a withdrawal. The website accepts various forms of payment for US users, including: Western Union (fees waived for deposits of $1,000+), Bank Wire, Cashier's Check, Credit Card, NETeller, WebMoney and MoneyBookers. The site's Help Section provides comprehensive information on each accepted payment method, including honest warnings and appraisals of each method. For example, they warn that due to stringent new return policies imposed by MasterCard, refunds on those credit cards can take several weeks to process, a fact that is overlooked or ignored by many other online wagering sites. A bonus of 10% is provided for all deposits of $250 or more.
Wagering
The events, sports and leagues covered at Pinnacle Sports are both broad and deep. Those offered include Football, Rugby, Baseball, Tennis, Boxing, Golf, Racing and more. Each sports category contains various propositions and betting lines. For example, on certain days up to 300 football props alone can be offered.
Online Sportbook Research
Pinnacle Sports has been given a rating of A+ with regard to player deposit security. This rating signifies that Pinnacle Sports is considered "Elite, top 1% of all Sportsbooks, Guaranteed safety & quality." This rating has a huge impact on my decision to wager at an online sportsbook and it should. Why bet where your money may be endangered by the actual sportsbooks financial problems. If I'm going to lose my money, I want to be the one to do it!
Sportsbook Customer Service
Customer service is from Pinnacle Sports is available 24-hours a day, 7-days a week via their website and by telephone. Given the variety of languages supported, it is not surprising that Pinnacle Sports's staff is multilingual and several representatives are geared towards assisting international customers. The quality of service is good, as is the response time and accuracy.
Bottom Line
The Pinnacle Sports website makes it clear that Pinnacle Sports is a major player in the Sportsbook industry. The betting lines and sports offered are broad and attractive enough to interest most handicappers. With comprehensive information available via their website and a dedicated approach to protecting the security and privacy of their users, the service also takes a marked approach of trying to build long-term relationships with their clients based on trust and honesty. |
