eSports betting at Pinnacle.com

Pinnacle was one of the very first online betting operators to give eSport the time of day.

Secure online banking methods

Pinnacle supports a number of trusted payment methods for fast deposits and hassle-free withdrawals. These include credit cards, debit cards, e-wallets, prepaid money vouchers, virtual cards and even cryptocurrency.

Customer service and support

Pinnacle offers punters a lot of resources that other bookmakers do not. Chief among these is a vast library of educational articles on betting strategy for popular sports such as baseball, football and tennis, as well as guides to major events like the FIFA World Cup and the MLB World Series. There are also handy tools for calculating odds, margins, handicaps and more.

If troubleshooting is the game, the ‘Help’ link at the foot of the homepage gives you access to dozens of walk-throughs and FAQs for a variety of topics. To make things even easier, there is a search bar so you can punch in a couple of keywords rather than wade through hundreds of articles one by one.
