Pitbull Poker Review

UPDATE - September 2009
As of September 29, it seems that Pitbull Poker has folded. Reports on the 2+2 forum (Pitbull Poker scandal here) indicate that the flash poker operation has shut down literally in the middle of the night. Any player or affiliate still owed money by Pitbull would seem at this time to be unlikely to see that money.

Pitbull Poker is a new poker room using their own revolutionary no download software. Pitbull Poker is the only online poker room to offer this flash-based no download online poker room software. What makes this noticibly different from other no download online poker rooms is the fact that there isn't any download version available at all.

The Pitbull Poker software certainly is unique and the design is sleek and functional. The software has good quality graphics, including player avatars, and incorporates most of the functions you expect in an online poker room, including a 'player notes' function for example.

As a new online poker room Pitbull Poker has a low level of traffic. This is being increased by their no deposit bonus offer of $10 free, and their daily freeroll tournaments which are played every hour on the half hour. Open to 2000 entrants, Pitbull Poker's $50 and $25 freeroll tournaments currently have between 300 and 600 players, and are a great way to get to know the software and the poker room.

However, as Pitbull Poker is a very new room and not part of any recognized poker network or poker software group, we would have to advise caution when it comes to depositing money. Certainly, the $10 free bonus offer is worth taking up. When we have successfully deposited and withdrawn our own cash we will update this review.

UPDATE - December 2006
We have now successfully deposited and withdrawn our cash. In fact, we have withdrawn a total of 5 times, to a cash amount of $600, and each time it has gone through easily and very quickly. Most times, our cash was in our account within a couple of hours. We can't say fairer than that.

Update - July 2009
There is an allegation of 'superuser' accounts being used at Pitbull Poker which is being investigated by the forum members of the two plus two poker fourm. The current thread relating to this investigation can be found here.

It should be noted that Pitbull Poker representatives are co-operating with this discussion and that there have been no problems reported with cash outs from the poker room.
