Just been browsing in this subsection of the forum to try to get a better overall picture of Lock's withdrawal methods for players in the US

1. Check by Courier via Casino

Apparently this is the fastest method and some forumers reported that they got their check within days of withdrawal request. Check amounts seem to be limited to the smaller sums though. Minimum withdrawal amount seems to be at $500.

Note: Looks like check withdrawal via the poker section takes a lot longer, 2-3 weeks or even more.

Is it 1 free check per month?

2. Western Union

Fast but high fee, 10%

3. Wires

Only available if you reach an upper VIP level, Black VIP. $1000 minimum withdrawal

No fees?

Am I missing anything? I'm in Florida if that makes any difference.

Another note: Need to get account verified per the instructions here

This also has to be done if depositing with credit or debit card, unless I'm mistaken

First WU withdrawal each month is free.

do you have to deposit to use WU method? I don't have it in my options.

Could someone who has tried the WU method please respond in this thread? I'm also curious about the requirements for this method. Although 10% (if its not free) sounds ridiculous.

going online and using western union to transfer $500 to nicaragua from southern new mexico cost me...it was either $42 or $46. Oh, & when ya'all do find 'em guys that work for free and pay the freight to boot, send 'em my way...got plenty of jobs available for them thar kind.

Bitching about WU is silly! Don't like the fees, don't use it, no one is forcing you! If you are more happy waiting 1-2 months for a check that may bounce from a skin that uses merge cashier, do that...

I do want to know this though: having 1 free WU withdrawal per month, does this depend on your VIP level, or is this option available to all?

I requested a WU withdrawal for $450 ($405 after $45 fee!!). I know WU charges a lot, but dang! Anyways, if its a fast as they claim it will be (72hrs) I should be getting it either tomorrow or Saturday. I had emailed support about the fee with it being my first one and all, and she said she would ask about it and get back to me... (2 days ago) I read somewhere where rizen said you need to be VIP to get the "one free", but it doesn't say that anywhere on the website at all so I am waiting for my response from support themselves.

2/1/12 - Requested
2/2/12 - Authorized

How does the WU withdrawal work? If I'm not a member of Western Union, do I need to register or something. I'm an idiot, can someone please help me out?

You request it.

They send you an email with the WU control # and some other things.

You go to your local WU, tell them your receiving money, fill out the forms, provide them with your ID and # and get your cash.

How long does western union take?

Check the appropriate thread...

What's the max western union withdrawl you can make? And can someone please confirm that the first western union withdrawl of the month is free.

Yes, 1st one is free. Rizen answered a few questions yesterday at this thread: Re: New Withdrawal Option Feb 1st


When he announce it in January he stated that cap would be $9,900. I don't know if that's still the case or not & you'll have to find that thread yoursellf, lol !!!

Max is $850 - 1 free WU (possibly 1 free per mo?) 10% fee after that.

I just received my firs WU from them after requesting a withdrawal on feb 1st.

They still charged me 10%, $45 for withdrawing $450! So I only received $405. After emailing support, they had told me that they will reimburse my account the $45 after the payment is sent out. However, I already received the $$$ and still no money in my account. Oh well, I can wait on that. I am ecstatic that it only took 4 days from req date until I received the cash.

2/1/12 - Requested.
2/2/12 - Authorized.
2/3/12 - In progress.
2/4/12 - Processed.

2/4/12 - Received the email with the control # & senders info. Picked up and received the cash in full.

Hold on, that's gonna be pretty pricey for Lockpoker if they have to pay everyone's 10% monthly or so. But I guess if it's just a $850 max then they'll be fine

^^ Yeah, that's why I am assuming that its just the first one is free and you pay 10% afterwards. Either way, I think it is a great w/d option if your in need of quick cash and only need to w/d a little amount.

I don't understand why people sell their Lock money for $.85-90, not to mention send first, when they can just do western union and it takes a few days. Even after the first 1 of the month is free, the 10% fee is basically the same if not better than going to the p2p transfer thread.

The $9900 max is correct.

-Rizen

I thought that bank wire minimum was 1k...just tried to use it and it said the minimum was 2.5k...

Is that a part of the new update?

Rizen mentioned in another thread that the minimum withdrawal via bank wire should be 1k now. I'm pretty sure you need to have Black or Black Elite VIP level.

If I request Check by Courier (in Canada) will I be able to track the delivery and know what day it's going to arrive?

1. We've only had WU for a few days.

2. Sometimes people need money right away.

3. Sending first is not a big deal if you are working with somebody reputable.

Looks like since the whole Everleaf deal with Homeland Security went down, the option of that WU is no more? Can we get a confirmation on this Rizen? Can I get a witness? Not in the withdrawal drop down anymore.
