Our take
Pinnacle is the one operator here that turns down the bonus game on purpose. It keeps margins low and does not limit winning players, which is why professional bettors use it.
That is a sound deal for sports bettors and a poor fit for this magazine's readers. There is no casino floor to speak of, and with no welcome offer it scores low on the deal too.
