I had a pinnacle account in '06 an loved it. Life hasn't been the same since.

2 years ago I had my wife open an account in her name using her foreign address at her families home.  I logged in today, from the US, and her account info is still there.  This account has never been funded or used to wager.

Will I be able to use this account in the US?

Do I need an IP address blocker?

If the IP is blocked will they accept the wager?

How should I send/recieve money?

Any advice with this would be appreciated.  My biggest problem is having the wife involved.  Therefore this will only be recreational during a trial period.

You're going to need an IP address from that location(family's home).

Also, you will need a bank(account) in that country.

Don't bother, Pinnacle is very strict regarding this issue...when you get caught your money will probably be confiscated.

I thought it was more trouble than it was worth.  To relay somebody in another country rotation numbers to play for you gets to many people involved. #1 if they see the wins they'll want a piece of the action.

It's doable but there are a few hurdles, PM me for more info.

NorthOf49,

I would like the info you speak of.  I have a few ideas, but I don't know if they would work for sure.  Please let me know.  I tried to PM you, but we're not friends yet!  ;-)

Thanks,

J

I'm based in Canada and have used my Pinny acct from FLA. Last time was in April and it worked.

I got married in Florida and honeymooned in Vegas last year. I was using my Pinnacle account for the first week I was in the U.S., but after about 10 days in the States I got an email from Pinnacle saying they noticed my bets were coming from an American IP address and they locked down my account. I only got my account unlocked when I got back to Canada and provided Pinnacle with a recent bill to prove my address.
