Pinnacle Casino Review

 

Pinnacle follows all the protocols that make for a fair, secure, and transparent gaming platform. Games from partner-developers are all routinely audited for random result generation, which is further certified by Pinnacle’s affiliate eCOGRA. Protection of financial details is ensured by industry-standard SSL-encrypted firewalls. Pinnacle is an international casino, but mainly targets players from European countries. The casino does not have any South Africa-specific features, but the platform can be beneficial for Reeboks, particularly for those who love sports betting and casino gambling.

Pinnacle does not offer huge incentives either for its sportsbook or the casino. This shows its established popularity – players need not be overburdened with wagering obligations and other restrictions. However, Pinnacle Casino still acknowledges new members and greets them with a welcome bonus of 20 free spins on Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead.

The minimum deposit to claim the bonus is EUR20 or equivalent in other currencies. The free spins will be valid for 14 days after being deposited in your account. Winnings must be wagered within 30 days, and only on slot games.

Pinnacle No-Deposit Bonus Code

Currently, Pinnacle does not offer a no-deposit bonus and it is unlikely it will do so in the foreseeable future.

Pinnacle sportsbook does not feature any promotions and even the casino is not big when it comes to bonuses. There is one promotion for the month of February 2021 and gives away 10 free spins every Saturday of the month to be played on designated games.

The games beginning from the first week and ending on the last respectively are Divine Fortune Megaways, Fruit Shop Megaways, Riches of Midgard: Land and Expand, and Twin Spin Megaways.

The minimum deposit to avail the bonus is EUR 10 or currency equivalent. The free spins will range in value between EUR 0.10 and EUR 0.20, according to the number of the slot paylines.

The manual registration process is simple and quick. However, you can also join through various social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Soundcloud.

Pinnacle probably started out with Microgaming for the casino games, since the studio was one of the very few who could populate entire games libraries in the early days of online casinos. However, the casino has kept pace with the times and expanded its games library along with its geographical markets. Apart from the ones mentioned in the introduction, other notable partnering brands include iSoftBet, Booming Games, Endorphina, Play ‘N Go, Pragmatic Play, Yggdrasil, Red Tiger, Endorphina, Spinomenal, and Habanero, among others.

Pinnacle sportsbook and casino has been designed for functionality, and eschews the use of glamorous and glitzy interiors. It is noted for its high payouts of 96.96% according to one source. The sportsbook also offers the highest odds, while allowing the highest bets. Pinnacle also does not ban regular winners, unlike most sports betting venues. The establishment also offers various resources for sports betting research and also runs a blog on betting strategies for live sports and e-sports.

The main games library is situated at the top left of the website, and is divided into the sportsbook, casino, live games, virtual sports, and e-sports. The get at the casino categories, you have to click on ‘Casino’, which also gives you the ‘Jackpots’ section. You can also access individual games categories from the main page of the casino, and browse through them horizontally or get all games in the section. You can search for games by title, but not by developer. Unfortunately, members don’t even have the benefit of demo games.

Virtual Sports

Virtual sports have been around for more than twenty years, but its popularity has remained diminished. They are preferred by players who cannot bet on live sports for various reasons.

• Instant Greyhounds

E-Sports

E-sports have added a new dimension to sports gaming. Punters bet on digitally simulated sports games involving real players and teams.

Thousands of players around the world are betting on these games, swelling up the prize pools, which tick into 6, 7, and 8 figures. Of course, there are also local progressives that are easier to hit, but bursting a multi-million Euro jackpot is a real possibility. Try games like:

• Mega Moolah: Absolootly Mad
• Mega Moolah: Atlantean Treasures
• Cash Splash
• Treasure Nile

Pinnacle Sportsbook and Casino dates back to the time when even the internet was yet to boom, and mobile phones were not even common. Yet, the establishment and its gaming platform have kept pace with the times, and today more players are using Pinnacle on cellular devices than PCs. The website is optimized for cellular operating systems liked Android and iOS, etc. so practically all smartphones and tablets can access the casino, provided there is robust internet connectivity.

There is nothing you can do on the PC casino than you can’t do on the mobile version. In fact, the mobile casino is just a miniature version of the big brother with minor modifications. The list of sports on the sportsbook home page have been taken out and combined into a drop down menu on the top left. Over that, sits another hamburger menu consisting of the primary sections of the sportsbook, including live casino, virtual and e-sports. Click on ‘Casino’, and you’ll come to the individual casino categories, which you have to scroll through laterally.

Mobile games carry HTML5 coding, which is the mobile interface of the game’s platform. Many studios first create HTML5 games, before even creating a PC version, hence almost all Pinnacle games can be played on phones, for e.g., Tome of Madness, Whisker Jones, Reactoonz 2, Legacy of Egypt, Atlantic City Blackjack, European Blackjack Multihand, American Roulette, Golden Chip Roulette, Live Craps, Lightning Dice Live, and Virtual Football League, etc. You can bet on all live sports on your mobile as well.

Download the Pinnacle Mobile App

Pinnacle Sportsbook and Casino may have offered a downloadable casino app in the past, but none is available at present. The majority of modern casinos are instant play platforms.
