Pinnacle.ca site to go live next week

Ontario bettors able to place bets with Pinnacle from October 26, 2022
Pinnacle, the renowned ‘Winners Welcome’ sportsbook operator, has announced that its Pinnacle.ca website will go live on Wednesday October 26, 2022, with Ontario bettors soon able to bet on the brand’s market-leading, low-margin sports and esports content.
Having announced its official approval from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) in September, Pinnacle is now registered to service the province’s betting enthusiasts with its sportsbook offering and various benefits unique to the newly-regulated market.
Pinnacle.ca customers will benefit from the brand’s responsible gaming commitment and fair deal approach to all bettors. Focusing on delivering better odds to bettors, the sportsbook gives Ontario customers the chance to bet with Pinnacle’s value-based odds.
Customers will be serviced with betting content across all major sports, including NFL, NHL, NBA, soccer, and tennis, all available with pre-match and live markets, while esports fans will also be catered for with a multi-award-winning product.
With almost 25 years of international bookmaking expertise, this week’s landmark launch marks not just its entry onto a new continent but is also Pinnacle’s first gaming license in a regulated North American jurisdiction.
Paris Smith, CEO of Pinnacle, said: “Wednesday’s launch is a major landmark for Pinnacle. As a result of our AGCO approval, we’re delighted to launch our new Pinnacle.ca site to showcase to Ontario bettors what sports betting can and should look like.
“We want to give our customers a true and unique betting experience. At Pinnacle.ca, that means great odds on the sports Ontario bettors care about, a strong focus on responsible gambling, and the welcoming of both recreational customers and the sharpest professionals around.”
Pinnacle.ca will go live initially with sports and esports betting available to qualified, registered Ontario bettors. Casino gaming will be rolled out soon after, along with further sports content in the future.

Prime Skill Games Inc. Official Response to AGCO Press Release

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.
Let me be perfectly clear
Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.
Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.
We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.
We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.
To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.
Sincerely
Matt Zamroźniak
Chief Executive Officer
