Pinnacle Sports Review

Pinnaclesports' website has undergone some major changes in the last year. The site is pretty fast overall, although occasional server problems are usual for the pick hours on weekends. Pinnacle's crew have developed a cleaner and more intuitive layout of the betting menu for an easier access to all available betting markets (based on drop-down menus principle). Buy-Points, Parlays/Accumulators and Teasers are now accessible directly from any lines page after logging into the site with easy to find quick-links at the top of the page for any sport. Betting Commission Calculator allows you to work out any bookmaker’s commission on any given market (including multi-ways), so you can easily compare Pinnacle's low margin lines with any other bookies' lines. Dynamic lines option offers full page scrolling so that you can view more games on a single screen. The dynamic line feature provides self-refreshing ‘live’ lines to members logged into Pinnacle Sports, so there are no more needless clicks to reload or refresh the page to see the latest prices. The Horse Betting menu now uses a brand new user interface too. It has to be noted though, new and unexperienced customers may have some troubles using the site because of its complexity. In this aspect Pinnacle isn't the most suitable bookmaker for a fresh-new bettor. Users can choose their odds format between decimal or american style. Site is available in 13 languages: English (UK and American), Chinese (two versions), Spanish, German, Italian, Finnish, Swedish, Hebrew, Portuguese, Russian and Thaij. Accounts can be opened in 18 different worlds' currencies.

Unlike most of the European bookies, Pinnacle don't have maximum winning limits per customer per day. They'll never set personal staking limits for successful bettors too. Betting limits vary for the different markets and events, from 20 000 USD (or even more on certain occasions) for the biggest markest to 50 USD for the 'unknown' ones. Customers are allowed (and even encouraged) to take more than one maximum wager on the same outcome, though the odds may be changed meanwhile. Experienced bettors can use Pinnacle's dynamic lines and odds in their advantage, even making 'sure' bets if predicting the market correctly. The same can be done via betting exchanges too, but they incur a fee on every winning bet. Pinnacle don't accept clients from USA, due to legal reasons.
