Bet Smarter: B2I's Auto-Betting Endorsed by Pinnacle, explained

Auto-betting, or Copy-Betting, is a major innovation that is transforming the way bettors follow tipsters: your tipsters’ picks are placed automatically in under a second, without any manual action. At Bet2Invest, we’ve developed an ultra-reliable and secure automation technology designed to maximize reactivity, avoid odds drops, and make following certified tipsters easier than ever.

In this article, we explain how our auto-betting system works, how it interacts with Pinnacle, and why it is 100% safe for your account.

A compliant integration approved by Pinnacle

Bet2Invest’s auto-betting works through a technical integration that fully complies with Pinnacle’s usage rules. Our system uses only the methods officially provided within their API infrastructure, which guarantees that:

• Usage is authorized, the mechanisms we use are explicitly intended for external automations. Bet2Invest does not bypass any rule and strictly respects Pinnacle’s technical framework.
• Pinnacle is aware of the integration, Pinnacle knows about our solution as well as the way we operate it. We work with full transparency regarding the system’s overall behavior and compliance guarantees.
• No risk for your account, because we use an API designed for this type of usage, your account remains fully safe. Auto-betting does not trigger suspicious behavior, overloads, or prohibited actions.

What is Bet2Invest auto-betting?

Auto-betting allows bets to be placed instantly as soon as a tipster posts a pick. No need to monitor your phone or react within seconds.

You keep full responsibility for the bets placed, and Bet2Invest acts solely as a technical intermediary. You can configure the following parameters:

• Stake per unit
• Maximum stake per bet
• Maximum stake per day
• Market type (pre-match, live, or all)
• Maximum tolerated odds drop
• And more…

We also provide an order system:

• Market Orders: the bet is placed at the exact moment the tipster posts it on B2I
• Timed Orders: the bet is placed just before the market starts; the delay is user-defined and useful when CLV is negative
• Price Orders: similar to trading — if odds drop at the moment of publication (which unfortunately happens sometimes), the bet is placed when the odds rise again

All orders can be canceled at any time before execution. You retain 100% control.

Step by step: what happens when a tipster posts a pick?

Before anything else, it’s important to define what an API (Application Programming Interface) is.

Simply put, an API allows two applications to communicate without human intervention. In our case, it allows us to send orders directly to Pinnacle in an automated, secure, and compliant way.

Pinnacle provides an official, documented API designed for automated integrations. This is the only interface we use to place bets.

1. Identifying the affected users

When a tipster publishes a pick:

• we identify users subscribed to that tipster,
• and only those who have auto-betting enabled continue to the next steps.

2. Verifying limits and user constraints

For each follower, we apply automatic filtering:

• respect of maximum stake per tipster,
• respect of daily stake limits,
• respect of all configured user rules.

Only users whose settings are fully respected proceed further.

3. Fair ordering of followers

Once the final list is set, we determine the execution order.

To ensure fair distribution and limit odds drops:

• small stakes go first,
• large stakes afterwards,
• and followers with similar stakes rotate automatically to avoid favoritism.

This mechanism significantly reduces odds variations between users.

4. Applying conditions: price, timing, market

Each user may have their own conditions:

• odds/price thresholds,
• timing delays,
• market type (pre-match, live, etc.).

Two outcomes are possible:

• Conditions not yet met → the bet is queued and will be executed later.
• Conditions met immediately → execution continues instantly.

5. Final verification before execution

When the system decides to place the bet, we run a final check:

• odds still within limits,
• stake authorized,
• daily limits not exceeded,
• market still open.

The bet is sent to Pinnacle only if all checks pass.

6. Bet placement through Pinnacle’s official API

To prove to Pinnacle that it's really you (and not Bet2Invest) placing the bet:

• we use your Pinnacle credentials,
• encrypted with AES-256 using a unique IV,
• never accessible in plain text to anyone at Bet2Invest.

The order is then transmitted via the official API.

7. Result handling: success or failure

✔️ Bet placed successfully

We record:

• obtained odds,
• stake,
• timestamp,
• market data,

and immediately display it in your tracking dashboard.

❌ Bet could not be placed

We automatically retry up to 3 times with different delays (some markets close for a few seconds).

If after these attempts the bet still cannot be placed:

• the user is notified instantly,
• and the process stops cleanly.

8. Fee application

If the bet is placed, a 0.2% auto-betting fee is applied to the stake.

No fee is charged if the bet is not executed.

How to set it up?

Setting up auto-betting is extremely simple — only three steps:

1. Configure your auto-betting profile (unit stake, limits, etc.) and connect your official Pinnacle account
2. Deposit funds into your auto-betting balance — note: this balance is NOT used for betting, it only pre-pays the 0.2% fees
3. Follow tipsters!

Note: you must have a Pinnacle.com, Pinnacle.bet, or Pinnacle.ca account with at least $1 and a validated KYC to use this feature.

Compatible with all tipsters

Unlike other platforms, Bet2Invest auto-betting works with all tipsters, whether they are:

• Free
• PRO
• Any sport
• Live, pre-match, long-term bets…

Every pick is automatically replicated as soon as it appears in your feed.
