Pinnacle Sportsbook Review for 2020

Most serious sports fans will know that Pinnacle have a massive reputation for their betting odds. Ever since Pinnacle Canada was launched back in 1998, they have pledged to deliver a gimmick-free option for punters. But is this approach worth the surprising lack of bonuses that the brand offers?

In our Pinnacle Sports Canada review, we’ll examine how this bookmaker carries out their sports betting entertainments. From their impressive selection of basic bets on North American sports, to some of the more complex arbitrage betting options, we’ll help you see why Pinnacle could be worth your time.

The Good

• Excellent sports betting odds
• Clear and intuitive site
• 24/7 customer support
• Fully licensed and regulated

The Bad

• Some popular sports not featured
• Lack of sports betting bonuses

Pinnacle’s gimmick-free approach means that they put all their energy into giving you the best betting odds. Sadly, this comes at the expense of anything in the way of betting promotions. So, if you are looking for a big welcome bonus or enhanced odds offer, then you will have to search elsewhere.

• 

  No Welcome Bonus

  • No sign up offers at Pinnacle
  • Enjoy low margins on your favourite sports
  • No betting limits on your winnings
• 

  No Other Bonuses & Promos

  • Just very competitive odds at Pinnacle
  • No need for enhanced odds deals
  • Mercifully free of complicated terms and conditions
• 

  Lack of Loyalty Scheme

  • No loyalty points scheme at Pinnacle
  • Customers rewarded with some of the best odds around
  • Pinnacle won’t ban you for winning big on their site

Pinnacle’s claim to fame is that they will give you some of the best sports odds in the business. But what kinds of sports can you get Pinnacle’s famous odds for? By looking at the sidebar on their site, we can see no less than 25 different sports on offer.

This might be a smaller amount than you can get at some rival brands. But you can still bet on major American sports like hockey, basketball and football, as well as popular global sports like tennis, soccer and golf. The only surprising omissions are baseball, motor racing and horse racing.

Take a look at some of the main sports featured at Pinnacle Sports:

All of these payment options should provide you with the necessary confidence to make a deposit at Pinnacle. However, we should let you know that there are a variety of processing fees for some deposits and withdrawals. But, on the whole, you can usually make a free first withdrawal and deposit with most payment brands.

With over 20 years of experience in online sports betting, Pinnacle have assembled a betting site that’s a real treat to use. With a clean and sober format, it’s a refreshing alternative to some of the flashier betting sites out there. While Pinnacle may be renowned for their unbeatable betting limits, they also make it easy for small-time punters to enjoy their site thanks to their clear use of language.

Signing up to Pinnacle takes just a couple of minutes, and from there, you can quickly get into the betting action. Laying down your bets is simple, and it’s nice to see how you can scroll down the sidebar to find those competitive odds for your favourite sport. Plus, with easy ways to change the odds format and language, it looks like Pinnacle’s software is up to scratch.

Pinnacle’s long legacy of sports betting means that they have accumulated plenty of commendations from key figures in the online gambling industry. While they are proud to let you know their ‘unrivalled reputation’, it wouldn’t mean anything unless the brand had an official license.

Thankfully, Pinnacle have ensured that their licenses from the Government of the Netherlands Antilles and the Malta Gaming Authority are clearly visible on the site. In addition to this, the encrypted website is independently audited so that you know you are getting fair and transparent sports betting entertainment.

Many betting fans will be keen to see whether there is a Pinnacle sports app currently available. Unfortunately, it looks like there isn’t a dedicated betting app from the brand just yet. However, the bookmaker have a great Pinnacle sports mobile site that’s perfectly suited to betting whilst on the go.

This is works well on tablets and smartphones, and it should be able to handle all iOS and Android devices. What’s great is that it allows you to create a bet ticket without being logged in, plus you can even add funds to your account while out and about.

We always like to see bookmakers give their customers plenty of ways to get in touch. Sadly, it looks like you will have to make do with just using an email support form or using Pinnacle live chat for raising a query with the bookmaker.

It would have been nice to have a contact number to speak to the customer service team, but live chat and email should be fine for most customers. In addition to this, we were more than impressed with the Pinnacle help centre that has lots of useful articles that tell you more about payment methods, betting types and so on.

Pinnacle are clearly a bookmaker who are willing to try a different approach from the competition. By sacrificing bonuses and promotions in favour of their odds, they run the risk of alienating a few customers. However, such a strategy has helped Pinnacle gain a reputation for being a great place for serious sports betting fans.

Not that Pinnacle’s site is difficult to use. We were impressed with the straightforward, no-nonsense approach of the website which could easily be used by rookies and pros alike. The lack of horse racing and baseball odds may be underwhelming but, overall, Pinnacle have maintained their awesome reputation for sports betting.
