pinnacle reduced my max stake on niche league overnight, normal or soft limit

Had my max stake on a random minor handball league cut pretty hard overnight, went from letting me drop a couple hundred to barely being able to put $40 down. No warning or anything, I just noticed it when checking for arbs this morning. Usually I’d expect this with some soft limits if I was going wild on promos, but this is just one market and I barely touched it compared to my main sports. The rest of my account seems fine for now, still normal limits on soccer and NHL.

Has anyone else had this kind of thing happen with the smaller leagues? Is this just normal risk control or a sign my account might be flagged soon? Would love to hear how people play it safe and stay under the radar.

Yeah, normal on niche leagues. They’ll chop one comp or market overnight while your main stuff stays fine, that’s not always a full account soft limit.

What jumps at me is you said arbs, not the handball. I’ve seen books get twitchy after weird click patterns way faster than after one small league bet, if Live Dealer still shows normal limits and deposits same I’d watch that. Did the cut happen right after a price refresh or after you logged in from a different device?

I think people jump to “flagged” WAY too fast. Books slash niche league max stakes all the time because the market’s thin, same as crypto casinos tweaking oddball lines overnight. Was it one handball comp only, or did that exact market type get chopped across a few matches?
