The motivation to create this thread was from a 2+2 member not happy with the leaderboard winners not being paid from June.. I was just going to reply, but thought it may be thread worthy..
"You are well within your right to be annoyed about the leaderboard payouts (lack of) and you deserve to seek answers.. But I think it's getting to the point where I have to ask "why are you and others still playing on Lock?"
We should all know by now how disgraceful and useless they are on all ends business.. Yet players continue to play on Lock Poker and continue to complain about their shortcomings? It's the old saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me"
1. Lock Lotto - I'm hoping McM can confirm this as I don't want to falsify the situation, but on June 19th McM was waiting on 4 iPads from 2 months previously. umakenocentsbro is also waiting on a lock hoody.......
2. Lock Pro Coaching sessions - Lock hasn't fulfilled the coaching sessions as were stated in an earlier promotion, (Again quoting McM who hasn't received coaching from February)
3. HEM2 for Black and Elite members - Looking at the 'Black and Elite free holdem manager 2' thread no player has stated they received a free copy of HEM2 as part of being black/elite on Lock
4. Leaderboard updates - Some 2+2ers stating that at times the leaderboard isn't updated for an entire week? (wouldn't think it was that hard to do..)
5. It takes months to receive a cashout? - The most blatant one. What is the point in playing if you can only cashout around 3-4 times a year? (IF THAT?!) Lock Poker even states that it takes 5-6 weeks to receive a Skrill withdrawal, this is beyond a joke..
I'm sure there are plenty of other shortcomings of Lock Poker that haven't been mentioned.
Fair enough for players who complain and vent with regards to their cashouts taking so long, alot of them came from early this year and foolishly (myself included) believed that members of Lock Poker exec. were trying to improve it's cashout times. However hearing about players who still have pending cashout requests from January and February and looking at IHasTehNutz cashout reports, Lock Poker leaves me with little confidence in believing that they are in fact improving..
I think the time has come where people need to stop complaining about software crashes, not receiving a promo, Lock promised me (insert lie here).. You have such a great resource here (2+2 forum) to research all that is Lock Poker and hopefully make an informed and unbiased decision on choosing whether to play or not. This should be the process for every pokersite and all poker hardware/software you choose to dive into in the future. Use that information and make responsible choices on how you decide to invest your hard earned dollars. Just remember that whilst continuing to play on Lock Poker (and any online poker site tbh) there is a chance that you may never realise the true value of your 'virtual' dollars.
*i apologise if I misquoted or falsely stated any of the above points. If anyone can prove otherwise can a mod please edit/remove the points in question as I don't want it to be fabricated. ie. umakenocentsbro may have received his/her lock poker hoody already
