Hello,
Due to a one month postponement to changes in British gambling licensing regulations, Pinnacle Sports have changed the date from which we will be unable to offer our services to any players resident in Great Britain to November 1st 2014. We apologise for any confusion this causes but the circumstances are entirely outside of our control.
This updated statement is intended to provide clarity on the implications for existing British players and affiliates. Should the circumstances around regulation change again, we will continue to keep you informed.
What is the change to British gambling regulations?
Amendments to the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act now come into force on November 1st, 2014 (moved back one month from October 1st) requiring all companies that advertise or provide gambling services to British residents to obtain a licence from the British Gambling Commission.

What this means for British betting accounts:
- All account options other than withdrawal will be blocked after October 31st, 2014.
- Any bets placed up to and including October 31st, 2014 will now be honoured.
- All standard withdrawal rules and fees will be implemented until 31st October 2014.
- After October 31st, 2014, Britisch account holders will be able to login and witdraw any outstanding balance free of charge.

What this means for our affiliates:
- Affiliates can no longer refer British player accounts or British traffic to Pinnacle Sports after October 31st 2014.
- Affiliates can continue to promote Pinnacle Sports advertisings, links, logos, banners and landing pages outside of Great Britain, however, we have now geo targeted the following message to be shown to any traffic coming from British IP addresses: http://www.pinnaclesports.com/uk-block.aspx.
- Affiliates using the Pinnacle Sports API feed must ensure that any prices shown to British IP addresses are taken down completely or they link to the following page: http://www.pinnaclesports.com/uk-block.aspx
- We will still be accepting new British affiliates who have traffic from outside of Great Britain. Any British traffic will be geo targeted to the blocked page as outlined abouve.
- British affiliates will still be able to log into their accounts via the website, after 31st October 2014 to withdraw commissions.
- British affiliates can still access the API feed but must adhere to the requirements outlined above for British traffic.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused by this and will be happy to answer any questions or queries you have. We will continue to update you with any developments regarding this issue.
If you have any questions about this or would like to discuss anything about your affiliate account then please do contact us at [email protected].
