There seems to be a cheating scandal brewing at Pitbull Poker, or at least a group of well-documented incidents that don\’t sit well with players, according to an ever-growing thread on 2+2. While they can\’t seem to pinpoint what is wrong – not quite a superuser situation – many players are citing the fact that hand histories aren\’t easy to examine, they sometimes disappear from the site, and hole cards that sometimes appear randomly.
It\’s a bit confusing, but Poker News Daily seems to have broken down the allegations of superuser accounts, stack shaving, odd hand history formats, and software glitches. The latest, as of a few days ago and just before the topic was closed by 2+2, original poster chesterboy wrote the following:
I believe all relevant people and companies have have been identified.
If there was wrongdoing, I believe I should be hearing back from some people that can verify the stories, especially if the sweatshop story has any truth to it.
If there was no wrongdoing, I am now back in productive dialogue with [Network Manager Dave Brenes], and we should be able to verify these things in a somewhat timely manner.
I am sorry things had to get this unpleasant to get an appropriate reaction from pitbull. So far the only verified shortcomings of pitbull are poor communication and slow response times. Kevin, while having a questionable history has not yet been shown to have done anything wrong here. I too do not have a perfect past though it may not show up on the internet so easily. We can\’t condemn someone in this case for past wrongdoings.
They have been misleading regarding licenses but this is standard for the industry and not something I intend to pursue if there is no evidence of cheating on the site. I play in a state where poker is banned so it benefits me that some companies are willing to bend the law. Being that they are in Costa Rica it is possible they have not broken any laws.
Anyone have any history with Pitbull? Does anyone even play at Pitbull?
