This is truly bizarre. Tonight he stopped by for dinner and he asked me what he could do. I told him I have no clue. I've never heard of anyone being banned at Pinnacle - especially someone who has not placed a bet in a year and does not recall his username.
He has not placed a bet at Pinnacle in about a year (Since they made everyone reset their passwords) Basically, he did not recall his old password so he never reset it as their was no money in the account and he wasn't really gambling much.
He may have attempted to open a new account, but if he did, he did so since he could not recall his old passwd to reset it since the computer remembers them.. He didn't do it to cause Pinny any harm since they are the fools who mailed out everyone's passwords.
A few days ago, he emailed Pinnacle to ask what his account number was because he wanted to start wagering again. HE was told they no longer want his business.
He asked 3 times why. Each time he was told his email was forwarded to the appropriate person.
Finally they wrote:

Now this is truly bizarre. I know the guy and he gets square numbers at Bodog for 5 YEARS. He's not exactly a book threat.
He sometimes will call me to ask who I'm betting and being that we both lived in Boston we both probably bet the Pats a lot and we have probably even used the same IP address, but my account is still open and since I've never bet within 1/10 of their game limits and he bets a few hundred dollars I don't think they are concerned about circumventing limits.
Truly weird. He doesn't really care. I told him to open an account at cascade and take their -105, but I've heard a few other people say they were banned from Pinnacle for no apparent reason, and now I believe it does happen.
Not really looking for any help on this. He'll just move along, but thought some might find it a bit odd and give some creditbility to some of the other posters who have said the same thing has happened with no explanation.
I've never heard of anyone being banned from a book during a year when they did not have one single transaction
