    Angry Pinnacle wire Delay(To Current Pinnacle Users)

    have you guys used wire deposit lately? pinnacle withdraw wires takes about 2-3 days max, but i alway seem to have problem sending money to them.

    last time i deposit using wire they lost it and it took them 3 months to find it. i thought it was an one time mistake, but am i wrong. i recently send another wire to them and today is business day #8. pinnacle cs told me that it can take up to 5 business days, so I think they lost it again. Well, they're a great book, but their banking department is a mess.

    should've use neteller instead

    international bank wires can be a pain (and you don't seem to have much luck with them), though i'd hardly call 5 days a delay.

    if you live somewhere where it is legal for you to play with pinnacle, why don't you use one of the many other deposit options available.

    yes, i know pinnacle withdraw is easy. their interbook transfer is also easy, so is neteller. but for some reason it is so ****ing hard to deposit using wire. it seems like there is a 80% chance your money will be delayed for a long long time.

    because i have ATA enabled, so wire seems like the most logical way to put 20k in your account.

    8 days now. the greek takes about 2-3 days max. i use the same bank for both books. to be honest (without going into too much detail here), pinnacle wire deposit form seems a little shady. if you login into your pinnacle acccount and take a look at it, you'll know what i am talking about.

    i do have money in mb right now, but pinnacle has a lot of events that mb doesn;t have. i love to bet on soccer games and aussie football. mb don't have any soccer games anymore.

    what does the form at pinnacle have to do with the wire?

    the important form is the wire form from your bank.

    i sent a wire to jazz the other day, i didn't fill out a form for them at all. just told them my account# and the amount.

    oh, i have not opened a moneybooker account. i'll look into that now.

    i am a creature of habbit, with these offshore things, i am pretty careful with opening new accounts.

    thanks

    They make it pretty simple. Check the ban wire form and make sure the bank, branch and routing numbers are all correct. Don't forget to include adding your account # to the unique code field as this is how the determine which account to add the funds to.

    i know, followed all the instructions...both times. still problem every time i send it.

    i checked out money broker, their limit is lower than neteller. i need to figure out the exact fees before i use neteller again, since i have ATA enabled.

    I wired money to moneybookers 2 weeks ago, did it on Wednesday and hit my moneybookers account on Friday. 2 days international wire. I withdrew from interwetten the week before on a Monday, Wednesday in my account via wire. 2 days has been the norm for me lately.

    just signed up for moneybooker account, but it doesn't seem to be better than neteller. the limit is lower than neteller also.

    pico, it's definately not better. But for some of us it's the only option as neteller is off limits to us. I have Moneybookers, ***, *******, ********** etc..... before all I needed was neteller.

    yeah, i thought moneybooker offers something special, but since i have vip neteller account anyways, i'll just wire money to that then do pinnacle deposit.

    still, i have to wait til this wire mess get resolved. i hope this time it'll take less than 3 months.
