LOL no, most people who know anything have avoided Lock completely and pretend it never existed as an option.
You don't think the DOJ would step in if a site like lock closed and could not pay its players back the money they owe to them? Even if they don't step in I think it would drive a lot of casual players away from the game and also slower the process of legalizing online poker.
Why would the DOJ care? They can't write the gov't a fat check like stars. Money grab/push foreign business out for usa companies was all they wanted. A select few of us getting screwed for relative pennies by lock is of no concern
No one so far... and it doesn't look like my comment is going to be approved either. You'd think if someone would have gotten a WU and made a post, Shane would have at least approved that persons post by now.

Ok but even if the DOJ would not step in do you really think people who play for fun would deposit at another site if lock shut down and could not pay?
Saw this post on Lock's new forum. The best part of it is... you can't write anything to rebuke Shane's delusional post. Shane makes it sound like Lock is the victim of the Revolution Network. How about paying your customers so Intertops do not pull out of the GTD Mtts? So freaking disgusting what Lock (Shane, Jen, Rizen) are doing.

The network has advised us that starting from this Sunday the guaranteed prize pools of the two major Sunday tournaments have been reduced. The network took this step despite our protests after another network partner asked to have their players excluded from these events.
Starting this Sunday the guaranteed prize for the the Superstack will change from $25,000 to $20,000 and the $75,000 Guaranteed will change to become the $60,000 Guaranteed.
We fought both these changes but were unable to sway the networks mind, we will continue to support these tournaments hard including continuing our 50 Seats freeroll for the $60,0000 GTD and we will continue to lobby the network to raise the guaranteed prizes of both of these tournaments.
The new lock forum will not post my post. I wrote on the western union payout asking when they will process my payout. Of course, Peter Lock wrote to me via email and said he will look into this for me. Since then, no more response from Peter Lock and my post on their forum was never approve. I subsequently try to make two more posts on their forum and of course it was not approve for posting. Was very polite. I did not use foul language.
What a joke of a forum.
lock rhymes with **** and peter is just short for peter puffer!!!
I use to play on lock a lot, every day in fact, I finally received a withdrawal at the end of may that took what I felt was way too long to receive though it was faster than others have waited for sure, at the end of may around the 28/29th I did another max withdraw via WU and it showed 1800.00 for me and 200.00 that I would be reimbursed even though it was my 1st withdraw of the month I guess just receiving sender info made in look like two, I X'd the withdraw and waited till june 1st to try it again just to see if it would send me the whole 2k which it did, that withdraw left me with under 1k left in my account, I thought to myself **** it I am done with this site until they speed up some withdraws, I went back over the carbon poker and started playing there daily (tourneys have better structures and higher gtds) I requested my 1st withdraw this year on aug 4th and received email today 12th saying my check was sent, this is how it should be, hopefully carbon will keep it the speedy withdraws, and honestly I am cool waiting up to 5 weeks for a withdraw, granted 8 days is sweet.

This 1,000,000%
What a sad sad joke Lock poker is. Id trust Bernie Madoff with more money than this site. At least I'd have a remote chance of him giving me someone else's money to make right. I have feral cats living outside my apartment that run a better economic situation than lock. Their giving everyone the reverse shocker...and that hurts. Initiate Prep butt protocol.
