Hey king, I saw you mention pinnacle will not take a phone bet outside if you are in the US. Will they let you place a bet online? Thinking about having a cousin start an account for me in Canada
I do not think they deal with anything via telephone...so no wagers, no customer service, etc. on the phone. Strictly emails only for any questions/concerns. I'm not sure if you can wager via email.
Registration wise, I believe they do not offer accounts to USA customers, nor would you be able to place a bet on pinnacle from within the USA. (to my knowledge)
If your cousin is in Canada, he would be able to open the account using his credentials, and would have to deposit into the pinnacle account from a merchant using his own credentials. The name of whoever the pinnacle account is registered to must match the credentials of the merchant being used to deposit.
In the case that you described, your cousin would basically open the pinnacle account and deposit as if he was going to use it at his own leisure. Of course he could only place the wagers you tell him to, essentially making his account yours, but from what I understand you would still not be able to access the account from within the USA. So basically you would never get to log-on to pinnacle, but you could still see the lines and have him place wagers from within Canada on your behalf.
I tried logging into my instadebit account from down here in Panama and it was immediately locked. I also had an experience in the past where I tried to deposit into a friends pinnacle account, using my instadebit account, and the deposit was not successful due to the credentials of the two accounts not matching up correctly .
