Shane,

I requested my WU April 22nd. Just wondering if it will be included in the upcoming batch? Hasn't been verified yet but either way I'd appreciate any info

Thanks,
Marcus

Yo this site sucks. I live in LIC, play at bovada they will pay you in days. Honestly out of the 3.5k people that play there, I would be happy if it dropped down because I hate this place. They make it so easy for people to deposit but then wait until you ask them to tell you that it takes 5 months to get paid.

ALL AMERICANS PLAYING POKER RIGHT NOW ONLINE SHOULD BE PLAYING AT BOVADA, BECAUSE THEY HAVE EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PAY THEIR PLAYERS WITHIN DAYS. CHECKS TAKE AT MOST A WEEK TO ARRIVE IN THE MAIL.

It's been a full month since I've been verified. Still no sender info or MTCN.

Requested: 2/14
Verified: 4/2
Everything else: Still waiting

Thanks for the support DonSwanLeon and vorsybl, always appreciated. I honestly play on Lock mostly just because I enjoy Omaha8 tournaments, and to my knowledge those don't really exist anywhere else.

Shane can you push my check withdrawal to the front of said line? I would bribe you if I thought you'd accept such a thing. You don't understand how badly I would really just like the $2K withdrawal at this point. I understand everyone wants their money, but from January 6th? There are only 6 days separating my withdrawal request from being from 2012. C'mon now, it's summertime already, and I'm pretty sure I had a Lock account from BEFORE black friday. I've had a Lock account for a while, that should count for something..

I'm honestly not trying to HATE on purpose here, but are you serious? Do you have any respect at all for anyone else here? You requested 10 days ago and you want an update? If you even have the audacity to ask for an update after 10 days, send support an email. But you see other people here clearly asking for updates from MONTHS ago. Seriously I'm stunned that someone could be so oblivious, and if you aren't oblivious (which I'm fairly certain you aren't), how you could be that much of a self-centered person to post your 10-day old withdrawal request. You may think I'm being harsh here, but I'm really choosing my words as kindly as possible. And I can guarantee I'm not even close to being the only person who feels this way about people posting new requests.

agreed, I didn't post anything cuz I assumed he was being sarcastic.

^^^ I couldn't care less about either of your posts. People have gotten WU cash-outs from mid-April and my question is entirely serious. Updates from the most recent requests are quite informative, and it's funny you think scolding other players will get you any further with your own cash-out. WRONG.

This is a poker community, not the Lock support line. I never scolded you for doing anything, I just thought it was a little disrespectful to everyone else who is asking for their overdue money. You're asking for an update within a reasonable length of time, which everyone else contacts support for via email. Lock support doesn't look through these forums for who to pay. No one from support will contact you with an update of your withdrawal if you post on here. If you're lucky, Shane will respond to you, but I can't imagine why an April 22nd request would warrant any other response besides the one I gave you. You clearly don't care about anyone else at all, which completely goes against the purpose of a forum-community. And how is an update from the most recent request helping anyone who is waiting for money from before that? Plenty of us realize that people are being paid out from more recent requests than some of the older ones, don't you think that bothers everyone enough already? It certainly doesn't "inform" us of anything.

1. offers to bribe someone to get pushed to the front of the line to get a cashout.
2. ???
3. scolds someone for asking a single question in a 52 page thread because that isn't considerate of other players trying to cashout.

The exact same thing with me. Those exact dates. Just hoping now.

not itt

How could you ever come to that conclusion?

1/28 requested.
2/14 verified.
4/24 sender info...
no mtcn lol

1) Learn the definition of a bribe. There's a difference between saying something like "I would bribe you if I thought I could at this point" and "I'll give you $100 if you get me my $". The second one is a bribe, the first one is called a hypothetical, which is what I stated, referring to how frustated I am now waiting 117 days.

3) Who asks for an update of a withdrawal request within 10 days? Are you kidding me?! You're lucky if they even GOT your request at that point. I'm shocked that some people who have been a "part" of this community for as long as they have just don't like act it. Just seems petty to me. The point is that it is completely inconsiderate of everyone else waiting for their money from such a long time ago, but I'm not about to teach you manners over the internet.

2K WU
req 2/3
verified 4/2
NOTHINGNESS.

still waiting on my 2/14 WU max withdrawal.
Got verified on 4/2.

it's a shame Bovada does that anonymous tables thing... because I cashed out with them and got my money in literally 5 business days. Quite impressive.

Their checks ship from Singapore too. I was fully expecting to wait at least 2 weeks. Good stuff

Yes PM me for updated cashout time and options, as current as they get!

same verfiy date 2/12/13 requested and v-fied 4/2/13 hopefully soon.

Anybody get a WU withdrawal in the past week??

Lock Poker cancels player withdrawals, insists ‘all is well’

April 27, 2013

Lock Poker, the Revolution Gaming Network’s flagship site, is generating (surprise!) more bad press via its newly imposed and seemingly arbitrary prohibition against large-scale cashouts. At first glance, this seems to be old news. Revolution has been slow-paying/no-paying its players for the better part of a year now. Even players based outside the US, where the flow of money is not subject to the whims of the US Department of Justice, are reporting wait times of up to four months to receive payment. Other moves, such as the segregation of certain tables from other Revolution skins, have led to widespread assumptions that Lock is seeking any and all methods of preventing money from exiting its stagnant ecosystem.

The latest Lock brouhaha involves the abrupt cancellation of withdrawal requests by high-stakes players based on Lock’s assertion that, er, well, it’s not quite clear. (Perhaps, like Delta House, these players have been on double-secret probation this whole while.) Basically, players who have received fund transfers from other Lock players have been told (after the fact) that the funds are subject to play-through requirements. Trouble is, some of these players appear to have reached and/or exceeded these requirements, yet Lock continues to stonewall their requests. (Read the sordid tale from the start here.)

Beleaguered Lock representative ‘imjustshane’ has attempted to justify the canceled withdrawals by claiming that the site has been the target of “a connected and very organized group” attempting to profit from Lock’s well-publicized payout woes. The alleged scheme involved the group “masquerading as affiliates” and saying negative things about Lock on poker forums in order to drive down the public value of Lock deposits, after which they swooped in to buy up “hundreds of thousands dollars” in Lock deposits on the cheap, then attempted to withdraw the funds from Lock at full value.

IT AIN’T A PARTY UNTIL SOMETHING, OR SOMEONE, GETS BROKE
Other players have since come forward with similar stories. Still others have detailed how their large withdrawal requests were canceled despite their never having transferred any funds to or from any other Lock player. As more and more players went onto Lock’s section of the 2+2 forum to support the original poster (OP), Shane admitted that some “innocent people” may have been victims of Lock’s ‘spray and pray’ method of fraud detection. Shane eventually suggested the original poster contact Lock security to remedy the situation, even though the original email to OP stated quite emphatically that Lock’s decision to cancel his withdrawal was “final.”

Shane’s cause wasn’t helped by his shifting narrative. He has alternately described OP’s fund transfers as evidence that “implies involvement in the situation we uncovered” while simultaneously declaring that “I have no evidence that OP was involved in this.” Perhaps the biggest howler in Shane’s story is the suggestion that the alleged scheme is responsible for “negatively impacting withdrawal times for actual players,” as if prior to this, Lock had been turning around payments on a 48-hour window.

IT WAS JEN LARSON IN THE CONSERVATORY WITH THE CANDLESTICK
There are a few juicy conspiracy theories to speculate on here. First, Lock could be working an extremely long con, in which the grifters abandon any pretense of ever paying their players, causing the value of Lock deposits to plummet to near-zero, after which they themselves use sock-puppet accounts to repurchase most of their unfunded liabilities for 5 cents on the dollar, wipe the slates clean and start the con anew.

Second, in attempting to describe the alleged plot to devalue Lock deposits, Shane inadvertently confirmed that Lock’s affiliates enjoy preferential treatment over players when it comes to the cashout queue (although Lock’s past treatment of its affiliates suggests they’re not always held in such high esteem). Offering rewards to those who steer fresh lambs to the slaughter is a hallmark of any good Ponzi scheme. The last time Ponzi schemes and poker were this closely linked was Full Tilt Poker, so perhaps Lock has assumed that because PokerStars chose to bail out FTP, Isai Scheinberg will once again pull his white knight armor (and his checkbook) out of the attic and relieve Lock of the necessity of taking any further action.

Third, Lock holds the fort, continues to promote the hell out of itself to US players and waits for the Department of Justice to indict them, after which Lock can claim all the player funds were seized and play their force majeure card.

WE HAVEN’T HAD THOSE DEPOSITS HERE SINCE 1969
No doubt this article will be dismissed by Shane, his boss Jennifer Larson and her legal partner in crime Bryce Vincent Geoffrey as yet another scurrilous attempt to further depress the value of Lock Poker deposits. Never mind that Lock deposits could easily be restored to their rightful value if Lock actually had the money in its accounts to honor its obligations. But given the history of the principals involved, that seems a highly dubious proposition. The only real takeaway from this latest scandal is that Lock Poker is the Hotel California of online poker sites: you can deposit any time you like, but your cash can never leave.

Requested WU on 1/28
Received MTCN about 4-5 days ago

Just to give you guys a heads up on how much long you might have.

My withdrawal was a week after yours. But I highly doubt that I will be receiving my cash in next few days.

I received the sender name and location about 7 days before the MTCN if that gives you a better idea

Not trying to make anyone jealous but got another WU withdrawal through for the max recently in a very short time frame.

withdrawal request: 4-16
MTCN received: 4-28
CiH: 5-3

Unfortunately they took $200 out as a fee which was then credited back to my account.
