Any Luck Getting Funds from Pitbull?

[stillshadow]

Has anyone had any luck thus far receiving either affiliate or player funds from Pitbull Poker since their extremely unprofessional closure? I haven't even received a reply from either the e-mail address posted at the top of the banner farm or any e-mail address associated with their affiliate program.

In 4 years of being a poker affiliate I've never missed being paid from a program. Unfortunately, it's looking like this may be the first. It's a shame that such crooks still choose to exploit our industry.

I'm guessing you are S.O.L.

When eurolinx went insolvent I wrote off the funds entirely, I'll be REALLY surpised if Pitbull pays anything up.

The thing is that they advertise an email that they can be reached at if someone has funds that they are owed.

Sure, they screwed a ton of people over, most people know that. They don't have to screw people over and then give them false hope for future compensation.

I guess I was right when they called me asking me to deposit three or so years ago, they just always seemed shady.

I know of a partial payment and a full payment on the player sides so there still might be hope, however I think it's unlikely on the affiliate side and slim chance everyone gets paid on the player side.

Wow very lucky. JetSet, BetCorp, Pokes, RoyalCardClub, Arctic, Wingows, PokerNow, GamesGrid, BOS, RakebackRooms.. to name just the ones I can remember off the top of head. Not to mention canceled programs such as PokerRoom.com and ones where support just disappeared forever.

They owe former staff that weren't paid as well. You are SOL. That email they advertise pretending people can be compensated for loses is purely for show. Most likely because the previous owner will be doing business in the gambling industry again.

Recently??

I'm kinda shocked at that as well if those players have been paid since the closure. I seriously doubted that any players would be paid and still have very little faith that all players will be. As for affiliates I would imagine the chances of getting paid is even slimmer than for players.

I guess I've been lucky over the years. I've never been stiffed as a player and have only been stiffed on affiliate payments by Bayou and Battlefield out of more than a hundred poker rooms, casinos, and sportsbooks I have either played at or promoted.

Around time they closed

Thanks for the updates. Yeah, prop, I have been lucky that by chance I never promoted the rooms you listed. The only room that I've promoted that actually fully shut down was Bugsy's Club and, fortunately, the player database was purchased by Stars.

I actually received a wire from Pitbull for an affiliate payment 2-3 weeks prior to the closure. Of course, there has been nothing since. It's really a shame as I was starting to do fairly well with this site for some reason but would have likely removed them soon anyway for ethical reasons. I suppose all the accusations were true after all.

Wait and see what he does with flashpoker.com and the casino sites he has. He's either going to resurface again as an operator or affiliate in the business so watch out.

They were just a scam, reported by players many places.
