Pitbull Poker Closed
October 13, 2009
It is tough for a poker player to know where they can play online. It
seems that every time you turn around there is another negative review of an
online poker site that makes it impossible for players to feel safe at those
locations. There are some out there that have garnered a good reputation,
but even still some of the most established poker places have had their
difficulties in the past, leaving poker players unsure as to what to do.
The latest of these sites is Pitbull Poker. The online poker site had been
doing rather well for itself but soon got a reputation for not playing fair.
As part of the Flash Poker Network it was among some of the best poker sites
out there. They happened to run one of the larger groups of online poker
rooms and they have a respectable reputation that they don’t want ruined.
Pitbull Poker was one of the smaller sites on the network but they had quite
a few players in their base and some very well respected players on the
circuit. However, in July one of these players said that he had found proof
that the online poker site was operating with an active Superuser. By using
the Superuser the games were biased, and from there it was pretty much
downhill for the poker site.
Next thing you know two of the poker sites’ owners went to their
headquarters and removed a computer at which point authorities were called.
It is not known what happened during that time, but the poker site has been
closed to the public ever since. Thankfully anyone who had a deposit with
the site is getting their money back provided they follow the instructions
on the site.
