    What do you guys think? With the arrest of 3 owners of Pinny, and the United State's Government insane need to supress the evil sports gamblers, you guys think we should take most of our roll out?

    I am a little cautious now having my full tilt poker money frozen for so long. Looks like Canadians and other non Americans will get their money back Nov 6.

    That whole experience had me jolted. I have a lot of money on Pinnacle and now I am pondering taking it off with this news. 

    What do you guys think?

    If you are in the US you need to be a little worried.  No worries with Pinnacle IMO if you are our of the US.

    Everybody has their own comfort levels.  If you're worrying, then you should probably make a withdrawal.

    Years ago, Pinnacle abandoned American customers and survived.  But a minority found ways to continue gambling despite Pinnacle efforts.  Pinnacle might face financial losses but remain in business.

    I'm not a big better ... usually $20-$50 per play and I have about $500 in my account .... Pinnacle has been great to me to the extent that I haven't even considered another book in at least 5 years.  If I had a couple grand in there I'd probably withdraw some to be on the safe side.

    You have nothing to worry about. The only idiot in this whole thing is Pinnacle for leaving the US market in the first place. They lost two thirds of their customers and three quarters of their handle. They're still a solid book but a shell of the book they once were.

    Pinnacle is as solid as it gets..superior service, excellent account security, the owners arrest is insignificant to operational mannerisms
