Pinnacle offers $250,000 betting limits for The International 2018

Online bookmaker Pinnacle has reaffirmed their commitment to put esports on terms with conventional sports by increasing their betting limits to $250,000 for the final of this year’s biggest Dota 2 tournament: The International.

Since taking their first esports bet back in 2010, Pinnacle has been a pioneer in the growth of esports betting. Over 10,000,000 bets in the last eight years has seen esports rise to Pinnacle’s fifth most popular sport in terms of betting volume and now, the bookmaker has increased its limits to match customer demand.

Paris Smith, Pinnacle CEO said:

“Actions speak louder than words and the fact that we’ve invested so much in esports and have now increased our limits shows how committed we are to offering the best possible esports product. The best odds and highest limits are what our customers want and that’s what we give them.”

Marco Blume, Pinnacle Director of Trading commented:

“There’s always so much excitement at Pinnacle when it comes to The International because we have so many esports fans within the company. This year is no different and with more betting markets and higher limits than ever before, we really can’t wait for the tournament to start.”

In addition to the increased limits available for The International 2018, Pinnacle has a comprehensive marketing offering for the tournament. This includes a wide range of outright and prop markets, a full pre-game offering and live betting for the entirety of each game.
