I've been doing some research on pitbull. Here is what I have at the moment.

It is owned by dimensus ltd. That is easy, it says that on their web page.

The director of dimensus at the time it was dissolved was someone named Lucy Hudd. It was dissolved on March 10, 2009. She is about 27-28 years old and has yet been the director of all the following companies:

YEWSTEM LTD
YULEFERN LTD
FRAMHAM LTD
BURDETTA LTD
NILETYNE LTD
POPLARACE LTD
TELLISRANGE LTD
TRAMPIK LTD
INSTOMP LTD
MOWERNAME SURVEY LTD
INNERFORD ELECTRONIC LTD
PADAWAY LTD
TRANSNATIONAL TRADING (UK) LIMITED
BELLAROSE LIMITED
ENGIE LIMITED
IPC INDUSTRIAL PROMOTIONS AND COMMERCE LIMITED
OPTIMAL OPTICAL MARKETING LIMITED
SCS FINANCE LIMITED
VIVA MODEL MANAGEMENT LIMITED
FIZZBOURNE LIMITED
ANGELL CONSTRUCTION LTD
TOUCHY LIMITED
WELCOME HOLDING LIMITED

I can't find out what any of them do.

The company secretary is Bournewood Limited which seems to share a location with tons of other businesses and sounds like a shell company sort of thing in the british virgin islands. I guess that is pretty normal for online poker sites though. I can't find any further information on this company except for a few mentions of other companies also having them as secretary. They are companies that have been accused of runnign some sort of google scam. http://www.complaintsboard.com/compl...98/page/6.html

So those are the officers and they both seem to be some sort of shell company/person that is shared by many companies. Or that could also explain why pitbull is always so busy, if Ms. Hudd is indeed running 20 companies at the same time.

There were two shareholders of Dimensus before it was dissolved.

1. Fermoya Limited
Palm Grove House
PO BOx 438
Tortola

Once again this is an address shared by lots of companies and is probably a mail drop sort of thing.

2. BMIE LTD
2nd Floor De Burgh House
Wickford
Essex
SS12 0BB

The companies that Lucy Hudd directs or has directed are located at this address too.

I can't find any information or reports from the 2 companies that actually owned dimensus.

So anyways I don't know what all that means but it has me curious who really runs this company.

That video doesn't prove much except they have glitchy software and fishy customers.

Dave I was wondering if you could answer some questions about your security department you mentioned.

1. How many people are on your security team?
2. What is their experience and/or qualifications?

It seems like they would be the ones to be putting down the accusations in this thread.

I am also wondering, if dimensus was indeed dissolved in March this year, who currently owns pitbull poker?

I've known 'pigbot' for over twelve years. He is what he says, a solid pro player and, what is more, a straight up man, entirely trustworthy and when it comes to poker there is no BS in him. He's been a lurker here for years and nothing I have been able to say to him has gotten him to post which is a shame because he has much to offer. I'm assuming that he created 'pigbot' specifically for this thread and for him to go out of his way to do so means he feels very strongly about the matter at hand.

When he told me that he'd finally made a post of course I wanted to read it. I don't know most of the responders because I'm not a regular in this subforum but, for what it's worth, I'll state that if my friend says something about poker it is from an expert and completely reliable.

He has quit Pitbull because his experience there was so far from what could be expected from a legitimate game that something had to be wrong and I take his word for it.

Hi Brent,



My deepest apologies but the DB Manager was never able to make room for your request since there was always something happening that prevented him to do it. The request is made, however we lost the DB manager and another programmer in less than a week, thus our organizational structure and the task load has been forced to be redistributed altering the course of requests and pending projects. I will give my absolute dedication to follow up on your request but I need to deal with an unexpected issue that is putting to wait all my tasks related to the IT department. I hope to give you more answer during the week. Cheers!



Regards,



Dave Brenes

Ha ha ha I am lol'ing as I read this email, which was sent 7 days after dimensus was dissolved.

That is a very understated way of saying we dissolved the owning company lol!

Dave no need to answer that last question lol. I wonder if the UK knows it has such flexible gaming laws!

Wow...

Dissolved unlicensed poker room obv is fully trustworthy and everyone who slated OP is therefore correct that anyone suspecting them is just a conspiracy nut...

Oh wait... looks more and more like he was genuinely trying to help out the poker community by bringing this up, right or not in his conclusions there is something up at Pitbull ranging from failing business and incompetence through to more sinister issues that any new player should be made aware of before it's too late.

Wow I am the first person here to bash someone for all the tinfoil hat theories and superuser theories. But after reading pbdaves reply he is either a total blundering idiot that would make Full Tilt people look like Ken Jennings. Or the site is crooked...or both.

Serious this activity on their parts is rather suspicious. Unless this site is being ran out of someone's basement on some old computer I would be totally shocked if they could not handle some simple requests like hand histories.

I am not saying I believe either way. But I will never play at Pitbull Poker because I can't trust them and won't attempt to. That and if their public rep is this stupid just imagine how the rest of them might be.

Probably all the same people.

If there is cheat,then sure not out from the UK office.
Much easier to do from unregulated juristriction like flashpokernetwork's location.

It can happen.

(That was actually a split pot. Converter doesn't understand right.)

Keep up the work,chesterboy and others. You will get out of it what you put in. I agree with this quoted post as well.

Dammit - now I've subscribed to the tinfoil hats as well.

whois search for the flashpokernetwork returns the following e-mail address as contact:

info@pitbullgaming.com

It appears that none of the sites using the flashpokernetwork software have a licence.

I do see a problem with the release of hand histories by the way. Generally the network operator would have access to "open" hand histories, meaning he can see all players' cards. Unlike the individual player who only sees his own cards in the hand history. When responding to hand history requests myself several years ago, we only sent out a few hands as we had to manually delete the other players' cards from the file we got from IT.

So unless all players involved in the hands agreed to have the hand histories sent out, there could be a small problem - although if the PB poker admin software has a function like "Export hand histories to show player x"... .

On the other hand Dave has made no mention if the matter has been investigated on their end and if it's since November last year, then it really could have been done.

What struck me is the fact that the two IT guys left - maybe the realised that people were on to them

lol @ pokersoftware made with flash

Something is def not right here. Best of luck in getting to the bottom of this!

wow pitbull is coming off as seriously dodgy,

as i've said before i'v nothing to do with the site but after reading that they say they fall under UK law and dont need a licence i lol'd

anyway i dont know if any of you have taken the time to report the site claiming to oporate in the uk without a licence to the gaming board but i'v nothing better to do this morning so i'm going to go ahead do so research and make a report to them

tl;dr

so.. has anyone raised the question that the piece of cr*p flash software migh be hacked by some users that are not related to pitbull management none what so ever?

Then again it doesn't remove the responsibility from pb to look into these accusations.

This is a pretty big moon landing imo. Absolute was based in Costa Rica when they were superusing.

I want to clarify a few things about my original post on Page 3.

1) I never said I lost the hand - we chopped
2) I left the table immediately after the suspicious play
3) I cashed out that night the remaining money I had in my account

I didn't feel the need to say I went on monkey tilt and lost the majority of the money I put into the site - I cashed out $60 which was pretty much break even for me for the short time I played on Pitbull.

Act as a jury and disregard my evidence if so be it. I have no agenda against PBP. My point was hat I noticed there was really suspicious play, they never followed through on the promised bonus when I signed up, and I could not retrieve my HH's to show others why I was suspicious.

All of those things are totally unacceptable for a supposed main-stream site.

The traffic was light, and playing short-handed, there were some players I simply avoided because I watched them bet when I had air and check when I had hands as if they knew my cards. Furthermore, in one game, I did see another players cards. Again, totally unacceptable.

If you wish to ignore my anecdote, that's fine. There is certainly ample enough evidence from others to at least say "you've been warned" if you choose to play at PBP.

Cliffnote: is it just me or is he never bringing up any solustions or even suggestions to probable solutions....??????
For the moment Chester, I fear you might be right on this one...

Any relation with Humberto or Alex Brenes?

Pitbull is 1 of the worst pokerrooms i every played on, wasted time!
got their 10$ no deposit bonus, grinded the micro cahs games and builded up to about 100$, then played few turneys, won htere also as easy as playin lego.
Tehn after 1 week i got doomswitched, bubbled 5 times in turneys, these guarantees with about 20 players .... went back to cashgames but wtf the same as op wrote, increddible guys who seem to know when to fold and when to bet, i dont lost 1 cent to this site but i lost time, wasted time there the software is annoying too and the support is as tough as a ppeace of ******** . save your time!

1 of the guys from the prop forum has already contacted the UK gaming authorities and I plan to put together a detailed letter myself to send to them later. I am also posting this to casinomeister. But don't let that stop anyone else from talking to the proper authorities either.

PS I would be suprised if Dave Brenes is a real name.
