Yeah, they are screwed. There is all sorts of rumors on Sportsbook review right now regarding what might happen. Fact is that this law blows, and someone sharp is going to have to figure out a way around it.

Greatest idea that I have thought of is to buy a house in Canada and sell people your address, set up an online checking account in Canada, and then wire the money back to your US account.


If you go to the Cashier page, they are only allowing withdrawals. UNBELIEVABLE how quick this is happening

On the bright side of the ledger, no one has to worry about getting paid from Pinny. No one. Every last person will be paid in full.

I don't know how you can say that with such certainty. I agree it's probably true, but I'm not nearly as certain as you are.

Pinnacle is not well-prepared today. I asked for my money over 6 hours ago, and it is not even showing as deducted yet. CRIS and TheGreek meanwhile both paid cashouts to me today in a matter of minutes. (and I'm sure they are getting multiple cashout requests, too.)

Dun, they aren't closing shop, just to the U.S.....How many thousands of players are closing out today. Give them a day or two. I'm not the least bit worried. In fact, I'm not in a rush to pull out funds anyway. Have a few futures left. Might as well wait for those and then get one check out rather than 2.

Son of a....


I just withdrew all but a grand out of my account. I'm with Greek so I should be alright.

It is never painless or free to live amongst Social Conservatives.This is the price we pay for it.Bush has always wanted to outlaw any form of internet wagering on horses.He has always said that the interstate wire act makes it unlawful.If he had his way,he would not even allow you to play horses on the internet with TVG,YOUBET,Brisnet etc. So,I guess you're actually getting off easily.These are the most hypocritical people that there are.Internet gaming is SIMPLY FREE MARKET CAPITALISM.That is what these people claim to love,but their hypocrisy gets in the way(a lot.)
