Overall Grade: A
The Pinnacle sportsbook is well respected in the online wagering business for its low margins and high
limits on a variety of sports while also offering customers a casino, live casino, virtual sports and e-
sports options. Pinnacle is a private venture which was launched online in 1998. It’s licensed in Malta
and the Dutch island of Curacao and doesn’t accept bets from the USA. It also offers live in-play
wagering options, a mobile network and a downloadable app.
Ease of Use: A–
The Pinnacle website allows you to quickly and easily access all of its sections from the home page and
a link to the sitemap is featured at the bottom. The sports options are listed along the left hand side of
the page while the the top section links to the live centre, casino, live casino, virtual sports e-sports and
betting resources options. You can also change the odds format and language from the top right corner
of the page as well as access the help center. The help center offers an FAQ section and can also be
accessed in numerous languages. If you need help you can send the company an email 24 hours a day,
365 days a year, but I don’t see any live chat feature if you’re not logged onto the site as a member. You
also need to be logged in to access the up-to-date odds as delayed odds are shown for guest users.
If you’d like to login or join the site as a member, this can be done at the top right hand corner of the
home page. All of the mainstream sports can be wagered on here as well as more obscure options such
as bandy, biathlon, chess and crossfit. Customers can also make wagers in the entertainment and
politics sections. The site is a pleasure to use and quite easy to navigate as there’s no clutter to bog
anything down. Wagers can also be made via all types of mobile devices and Pinnacle has an app which
you can download to make things even easier.
I didn’t see any live audio or streaming options on the site but you need to login as a member to access
the live centre, so perhaps they’re accessible in there. As a bonus, the betting resources sections features
an assortment of sports previews, predictions and articles.
