Two New POKER Rooms Join Microgaming

Microgaming, well-known as the online gambling software and poker network provider is now establishing itself even stronger with its two new operators for its Microgaming Poker Network. These 2 new poker rooms are Mansion88 and 5050Poker.

The 5050Poker website and Microgaming venture is a joint response after there was such a high demand from the Microgaming players who wanted better player liquidity. Mattias Eriksson, Chief Executive commented, “Our players wanted the chance to play against a truly global opposition on a platform that offered improved game and tournament selection as well as greater liquidity. We listened to and acted on their demands and set about investigating a move to a software partner that would enable us to realise our ambitions for growth. Having thoroughly considered all available options, Microgaming was undoubtedly the best fit and we are convinced that operating within its Poker Network will prove a positive move for our player base.”

This new online poker operation is an added feature to Mansion88 who are based in the Philippines and focus on the Asian gaming and already have various quality gaming entertainment services. Mansion88’s company’s poker director commented, “Microgaming’s excellent customer support and local presence made the decision to appoint them as our software provider very easy. By working together, I believe we can continue to raise our profile within the rapidly growing Asian markets; we look forward to a long and successful partnership.”

Microgaming is based on the Isle of Man and has been very successful recently with a record achieved for its Bad Beat Jackpot. CEO Roger Raatgever, was quoted: “Our ability to provide poker in more languages than any other network is crucial in helping our operators grow, and our partnership will enable both operators to cement their position as leading brands within their respective markets.”

Pitbull Poker situation deteriorates

Many already know Pitbull Poker was defunct with their offices closing and the company CEO placed under arrest. Further to this; they have reportedly done shady things against their customers, players who are now seriously considering taking legal action against them.

The company had allegedly utilized superuser account in clients’ money and the company executives had hastily closed up shop with the CEO placed under arrest as well as charged with fraud.

Last week some employees said they saw Kevin Baronowski, a manager high up at Pitbull, together with some other guy “Jordan” taking computers out of the Costa Rican headquarters and were consequently taken away by police once the police were informed. After this Pitbull stopped showing up online and no games were running.

Many playing customers have been ripped off and are now searching legal action with many having lost from $250 till $7500. Amongst them is “JC Hawk” who reportedly lost $100,000 on the Pitbull site. Many said this amount might be exaggerated and amounts have not been confirmed.

Meanwhile, the former employees who have not been paid are also planning to sue the company. People close to the company like former manager Brenes commented; “From what I heard, it was shut down. There was a rumor that it was back, but it’s shut down. Never a partner, associate, director, or in any way related to the ownership of Pitbull Poker, Pitbull Casino, or Pitbull Partners. I was an employee hired to manage the network and support operations in whatever [ways] necessary.”

Brenes has in fact denied being involved in all this and that he was not included in the financial sector of the company. Pitbull is an international company which means getting a legal finalisation will take long; more news will follow.

Poker Bot users sue Full Tilt Poker

At the moment two individuals; Lary Kennedy and Greg Omotoy are claiming they were defrauded while on an online poker site and are suing some famous poker pros. The lawsuit was filed today in L.A. County Superior Court and the claim is that they opened an account at FullTilt Poker and they built up bankroll winnings of more than $80,000.

These winnings were then all confiscated as Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey and Mike Matusow supposedly accused the two players of using an automated play function called robots rather than playing the game themselves. The money was confiscated because using robots goes against Full Tilt’s online regulations.

To add onto this; the individuals are also allegedly accusing FullTiltPoker.com that they manipulate the game through the use of poker bots of their own making it a game of luck rather than skill; something which is illegal in the state of California.

Full Tilt refers to this event as their “biggest little tournament” because it allows players to score big with low risk. What’s even more enticing are the satellites that run for as little as $0.60 or 200 Full Tilt Points.
