Just wondering if anyone here has had any experience with pitbull poker.
I received the $10 ndb and ran it up to just under $400 playing cash and tournaments (good overlays regularly in $5 and $10 rebuys). You have to make a minimum deposit of $25 to cashout and was wondering if Im going to be throwing it away or If I'll actually be able to cashout.
Any advice appreciated.
Note: Ive gone over all the T and C very carefully and havent violated any at all.
Nice job making the 10 into 400. That is a really good start for not putting anything on to the site. A no deposit option and then making that kind of money must feel great.
I don't know Pitbull Poker but I don't see why they would not allow you to not cashout. They are a site that has been going for some time I think.. But I don't see why they would not let you cash out. I think it's just a requirement that you must do and that's it. It sucks but I'm sure it's for you're safety and their security to make sure that players are secure on their site as well.
Good luck, I would just make the deposit and then cash out. I'm sure there is nothing behind it. I don't see why they would take your winnings.
I do not recommend them to anyone - Stay away!
Id run away too....
However maybe he have changed and you might cashout, IMO for $25 to get $425 back.... its worth a go.
I would suggest caution before snapcalling Pitbull on that *free* $10.
A few years ago, at the time that I signed up and accepted Pitbull's *free* deposit bonus, the clearance requirements were a bit tougher than the current requirements. In addition to the requisite $25 deposit, players were required to accrue 200 player points in order to withdraw any funds. That made it very difficult to earn points at lower limits, and there were rarely any games at higher limits. It took me more than a year of grinding to actually clear and receive the bonus. Even worse was the catch that did not allow a player (at that time, at least) to withdraw any funds whatsoever prior to clearing the *free* bonus. In effect, Pitbull (at that time) confiscated players' entire bankrolls until they cleared their measly $5 (now $10) bonuses.
The Pitbull bonus clearance requirements have changed at least a couple of times since my experience, and I don't know exactly what the current clearance requirements are. But I do urge reading the fine print with a microscope before typing any bonus code. As for me, due to the aforementioned difficulties, I've all but stopped taking any bonii from any poker sites. I don't really care much for ring games anyway; and with some of those bonuses, I actually paid more for donkouts than I received in bonus money.
Moreover, The Flash Network has always been unstable. Crashes occur at least a couple of times per day and the software behavior is unusual to bizarre. A high degree of latency is probably the most common complaint.
On the positive side though, cashouts from Pitbull are among the fastest of any poker sites. Recently, my withdrawals have been received by eWalletXpress 1-2 days after initial request.
i think your betrer off staying away from this site. i did a quick research on this site and this is what i came up. i remeber hearing all the horry stories about this place. also a side note most poker forum dont promote them anymore.
this is a real post i found about pitbull poker
#1 Over the past several weeks people have asked me why we don't promote PITBULL POKER or have their Free $5 banner up on the forum.
Here's why...
We tried them out briefly over 9 months ago. Nothing but lies and hassle. In addition - one of our members made a deposit and they refused to cash her out. It took me 5 phone calls, 20 emails and a lot of threats for them to pay out. We dropped them immediately.
Pitbull Poker is one of those sites that will gladly promisse huge and very attractive deposit bonusses but many players have lost their money and account closed after they tried to cash their winnings out.
Emails donīt get answered and if you keep asking for your money they just close your account and forfeit your money. They attract new players by offering instant bonus and free money download, but once they have your money they don't plan to ever give it back. It's no wonder you will never see any action on the tables as most players give up or have their accounts closed.
I warn you all that they are not trustworthy.
i read through about 50 different post for different poker fourm and its all the same. so if you want to take the free 10 fromthem do it but dont think you will win anything for your time and effort
The following is a true story:
I took the $10USD no deposit bonus (Code: FREE10 [When I signed up]), ran it up to $1000 USD even, and cashed it out through ePassporte (When still in full operation). However, I had to go through hell to get the money off. Of course earn an immense number of Pitbull Poker Points, make a real money deposit, send in strenuous verification, and withdraw in 4 seperate increments through EP. It was worth the trouble given it spawned from a NDB, however, I have since refrained from investing on the said client, as customer service and withdrawal procedures are very poor. IMO.
(And the games are broke)
