Dear bulltaco:

First, glad to have you as a member.

Most important, we are in the habit of discussing everything here among ourselves and reaching the full truth and reasons in the end to our satisfaction.

So I do, as administrator, request that you give us some more detailed information, since many members play there.

This is your second post, and your first post back a couple months ago, was also a bomblasting of a gambling site.

Can you recommend any that you like and/or respect?

Thanks.

PokerGuru, admin

OK, my PCers, here's the way it is:

Pitbull does "give"you the 25 bucks instantly, as far as crediting it to you on THEIR records, but they dole it out to you to spend a dollar or two at a time, depending on how much you play.

And actually, I don't know of any poker site that does it any other way. Do any of you?

BUT....you may recall that I have several personal differences of opinions with the site's management. To come right out with it, we have personality conflicts and don't get along very well, EVEN THO IT IS A GREAT PLACE TO PLAY.

Our differences have to do with the very thing this thread is talking about.

So my contribution to the discussion is that they have many good points and a few bad points.

Their 24 freerolls a day is definitely a good point. Their software is another good point. The fairness of the games themselves is a good point.

Being a bit deceptive with tossing out expectations is a bad point.

All in all, each individual has to decide which outweighs the other on the scales of whether to play there or not.

That's the way I see it.

Your Guru

I have deposited there a few times abd play all the time there. I have actually found that if you have some patience the customer service is actually quite good and helpful. I for one choose not to claim bonus money at poker site due to how all poker site work thier bonuses. I am still learning to play better and spend very little money when I deposit so I know I will not make the points required. I don't put enough in to even come close most times. That $25 is very legit but like the guru said most all poker sites pay out their bonuses depending on your play.

So if you are planning on doing some serious playing I would definatly claim the bonus, and you will get it when you do the play required. If you are just making a small deposit to check it out and play around a bit then I would not try the bonus since it would also lock you into not being able to withdraw until the required play is met since there would always be a little bit of bonus money not played yet.

I hope this was helpful, I still say that Pitbull poker is one of the best places to play.

This was a VERY excellent, post, Sable. And everything you said is exactly the way it really is!

You showed excellent thinking here, concerning whether or not to accept bonuses. Sometimes they CAN work against you, just as the slots casinos ones can, but shhhhh! I don't think slots players even want to hear it! LMBO! But true!

Thanks for the great post! A quality one!
