Pinnacle Sports - Sportsbook Review
Pinnacle Sports Summary
Pinnacle Sports Worldwide has been providing punters with a full scale online sportsbook betting exchange since 1998, providing multiple languages and currency options to accommodate sports bettors all around the world. Pinnacle Sports made the critical decision to stop accepting sports bets from US players in January of 2007. All sportsbook betting processes are performed directly within the web site, negating the need for a download and resulting in compatibility across all operating systems.
Pinnacle Sports offers a full range of online sports gambling, as well as other venues, presenting some of the best odds in the industry. With such low line margins, Pinnacle became an immediate hit and began drawing the attention of competitor traffic at an alarming rate, which relied mostly on bonus offers to raise their numbers. Instead of “loyalty” promotions, Pinnacle offers the best line margins in the industry, up to 60% better than their competitors.
Pinnacle Sports Software
The in-browser software that powers Pinnacle Sports, provided by Action Sportsbook International, was highly customized by Pinnacle Sports to offer even more features and filtering systems, so that it hardly resembles the original licensed version of the software. Sports bettors can buy and sell points using proprietary spread drop down menus and view a full history of their online accounting and sportsbook betting experiences. Going one step further, Pinnacle introduced real time lines, allowing players to watch as the odds move in a colorful and graphical display, without ever having to refresh their browser.
Languages: Chinese, English, Finnish, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai and Vietnamese

Pinnacle Sports Odds & Limitations
Punters will find odds displayed in both EU and US formats. Pinnacle Sports presents live in-game sports betting and line betting with some of the best odds in the industry. When Pinnacle Sports launched its online sportsbook gambling operation in 1998, the company decided to entice punters with desirable odds and the highest edge possible, rather than relying on promotional campaigns.
The minimum wager is $1.00 USD (or currency equivalent), capped at $1,000 - $50,000, depending on the sport betting event, odds and how long until the event starts. Generally, the closer to start time, the higher the bet can be.
Pinnacle Sports Bonus / Promotions
New members of Pinnacle Sports will receive a 10% matching bonus of up to $500 when making their first deposit. The deposit must be $250 USD (or currency equivalent) or more, using one of the following deposit methods: Credit/Debit Card, Bank Wire Transfer, Cashier Cheque, InstaDebit, myCitadel, Moneybookers, NETeller or NETeller 1-PAY.
Instead of providing traditional “promotion” offers, Pinnacle Sports offers the lowest sports betting margins in the industry as an incentive to place wagers at the online sportsbook – up to 60% better, in fact. In essence, the more a punter bets, the more money they are saving.
