Will there be an updated leaderboard connected to the leaderboard prizes this month?

Will the WSOPE Buyin - $5,000 value winners get an expedited cash out?

Will there be anyone left playing on Lock by the end of July to claim the prize?

Lock lost the right to advertise/promote here on twoplustwo, so you'd probably have to e-mail them or look at their site to know what's going on.

Why on earth would you want to play here (I'm assuming you're asking about promos b/c you play here)? Do you have $ stuck and are just playing until a better situation arises? If you're not playing there as a temporary thing then I see no valid reason anyone would continue to play on this skin on Revolution.

Since this thread is primed for lolz (got to laugh to keep from crying, right - after all, I just read one of G911's comical farce articles, so I'm in a jovial mood), here's a few promotions I think Lock should be running this month.

"Stay In Business" Promotion
If we survive yet another month despite bleeding like a sieve, all players get entry into the "We're Still Here" Lock exclusive tournament. And since this is Lock, after all, it'll sure to have a massive overlay!

"Pay Out All Overdue Cashout Requests" Promotion
We get all of our outstanding withdrawals caught up in 30 days and...yeah, this ain't happening. Moving along...

"Lock Survivor" Promotion
If you're still around after our dip into player segregation and play money valued Leaderboard chases haven't caught your eye, we've got the perfect promotion for you! Simply try to find a cash table at any stakes above 25/50 - and if the table manages to retain its full complement for at least three hours, everyone wins 25% bonus rakeback for the next 24 hours. Oh hell, who are we kidding. Make it 250% rakeback!

"We Have To Actually Address Your Issues" Promotion
Bringing sexy back to customer service! All month long, watch as Lock customer service agents, live support staff, and email support actually give half a crap about your dilemma! For all of July, no longer will we be able to shoot off canned playbook responses that don't even resemble your problem. We'll actually address any concern you have and try to resolve it for you - like a real company would! Hurry though - this offer ends July 31st!

"1000% Deposit Bonus up to $1 million" Promotion
Seriously...we need your deposit! Simply enter the code "MONEYMONEYMONEY" when you deposit via our slick cashier system. By using this code, you consent to a period of at least one year up to infinity to receive cashouts, and you must earn 50% playthrough to be able to trade via player-to-player transfer...at 10% vig...if you're lucky. SIGN UP!

and saving the worst for last....it's the

"Be A Shill, Win A Mil" Promotion!
That's right! Now you can be your very own denier of facts, reason, and logic as we offer up our most ridiculous prize package EVER for anyone interested in selling their soul to help us keep that money flowing! Simply sign up on our website and we'll email you, detailing your travails across the internet and arming you with a playbook straight from CEO Jen Larson's desk. We supply you with the best avoidance, disillusionment, and distraction techniques and we've got a track record to prove it works on those unwashed, uniformed (yet Godsends they are!) masses! The person with the most signups by July 31st (again, assuming we're still here of course!) will win a check for a cool cold hard sum of $1,000,000!!!! Please note - this check will have to go through 16 processors before it reaches you. We estimate delivery within 7-10 business days that start with the letter W in new moon cycles when both Mars and Venus align during the sun's next highly active flare cycle. Heck - that's basically right around the corner!!! Amiright? Am I?

IHasTehNutz, do you seriously get off at night dreaming that Lock Poker will shut down and all these people will get screwed? I think you do.

It is amazing how you troll posts even when sunsibar is asking a serious question regarding whether WSOPE buyins will be will be expedited their cash, which they should be.

Don't you have a chart or something you need to post or are you too "jovial tonight" that people are waiting 4 months and up to get paid because of processing issues? Here's a novel idea, stroll over to the Merge forum and see that they too are having similar 3 month issues with check processing.

I know you nearly had a stroke when I posted that 9 + 1 more got paid by WU over the weekend, but get over it!!!! God forbid you have to figure out who these people are to subtract from monies owed on those pathetic charts of yours.

Here's a news flash: Half those people that IM'd you won't even tell you when they have been paid by Lock.

Fortunately 2+2 has some decent posters that will let the community know when they've been paid, most of whom were smart enough not to PM you.

^^ Well, when you can't actually contribute something tangible to the world, tear someone else down. Must have missed that lesson in grade school. I work harder than you could dream of, sir - and hard work pays off in the end. Sure beats taking shortcuts.

What I get off on is the day worthless "reporters" like you fade into oblivion. The world has plenty of you already. We're tired of it. We see right through you.

Don't even need to respond to the rest of that. Pretty much proves my point.

IHasTehNutzzzzzzzzzz Get over yourself seriously!!!

How about "you" getting over youself "Mr 911, I'm owned by Lock and say whatever Jen wants me to say"

I don't see any follow ups on your recent Jen interviews. What's the deal with that?

Don't you have more softball questions for Jenn Larsen you can invent to obscure whats really going on at Lock?
Or how about some hard hitting questions about the color scheme of her apartment?
Or how about a followup interview about all the wonderful changes that would (LOL) occur by June?

Oh, Costigan.

IMO IHasTehNutz is a Lock Poker thread legend..

He can say/troll how ever much he wants, the compilations he has put together to give the users a better insight have been great and I really respect that someone is willing to put in that amount of time and effort.

Is Costigan seriously trolling Nutz?

gtfo dude

Most of Lock customers are aware of the concerns by now. Lock has messed up big time and you can't blame customers for being vocal about it. I remember not too long ago when Lock was having serious issues that IHasTehNutz was sticking up for the network, so he's not just some troll. He is an actually concerned customer, which like many others who has been screwed over by this network. How can you blame him for Lock's screw ups?

You're implying here one of the standard lines of argument from Lock -- It's 2+2's fault for Lock's issues, if only those pesky posters would STFU, maybe we could right the ship and everyone will get paid! They just want everyone to get screwed!!! Those ****ers!!!

You do realize that if Lock has all player balances, like say swear they do, then nothing we say can affect anyone's chances of getting paid, right? The only way that saying mean things about Lock is hurting people's chances of getting paid is if the site is a broke ponzi that needs new deposits to pay old cashouts.

Bernie Madoff could've made the same argument. Does that mean the government should have let him keep scamming people in hopes he might turn it all around and become legit?

Costigan, what is your honest view of Lock poker?

Chris Costigan, just for clarification: it's not okay to make jokes about a situation where people are being defrauded out of their money and screwed over by a dishonest company, but it is okay to profit off of and perpetuate such a situation?

Chris...another lock pos.....

costigan, ihastehnuts deals in solid facts and stats, your website and biased journalism is like going back to the dark ages.

There are now only 10 total prizes for each level starting at 12 now.

But they'll still keep playing...

LOL Costigan, I hope that blowjob or whatever you got in Portugal was good, because you are officially scummier than Lock. I mean, I get why they are lying through their teeth and screwing their customers (even though I find it reprehensible) - they are trying to make money and save their company (or maybe make money only, hard to tell).

You, on the other hand, apparently sold your soul for no real reason. Which I suppose begs the question of whether you had one to begin with. But a journalist you ain't, no matter how much you pretend otherwise, and your shill rag isn't worth printing out to wipe my ass with.

10 cashouts, really? You figure that's progress when there are still players waiting since LAST YEAR, and the sum of those weekend cashouts total less than 0.1% of what Lock owe players?

LOVE IT!!! + 1,111,111

And yeah Chris, get the f off Nutz. He's a legend and you're an [fill in blanks for ban protection]
