This part is scary.

Quote:

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.

This part is funny.

Quote:

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.

Glad I sold my funds for .55/1 when they came out with "fairplay".

Many legitimate players have had their cashouts cancelled, threads are in the Lock Forums, Shane has been trying to make the player's insisting their innocence into guilty fraudsters, but doing a very poor job so far, especially with sites like PTR out there to corroborate the victims stories.

Lock money is selling for .45 and their traffic is in a freefall.

If you still have money on there, get out while you can.

Holy ****.....two posters in the Lock forum are reporting that ANY funds acquired though transfers are NOT WITHDRAWABLE. No playthrough requirements, you just flat out cannot withdraw the funds no matter what.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply, there are no wagering requirements; player transfers are ineligible for payouts. Should you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.

All our best,

Steven

The questions and the type of email shane asked everyone to send. At least this time my response wasn't a generic email, but after I sent a 6 paragraph email, describing my situation, and looking for help, I definately don't expect a response like this..

"Hello,

Thank you for your reply, we understand your issue however please note we do not allow payouts derived from player transfers."

Honestly, this is so lol...

It might actually be worse.....this poster is reporting that he can't cashout any of the 15k he won in the past few months because he received transfers in the past.

and these ass clowns, ass hates, f sticks are still accepting deposits?

Unreal.

I feel sorry for anyone who has money tied up on this stupid ass site and if you managed to get your money off before/during all of this, that was probably your " one time "

Lock Poker....I spit!

YA! 1980's software, no preferred seating options, and a vip system that you will never be able to fully use!

Woo ACR is da bomb!

As for lock
-we give promotions that want to attract grinders,
-we take away promotions and instill FPT to get rid of grinders?
-we isolate ourselves from the rest of the skins.

Wow I cant believe they are suggesting that a ring of people caused this problem by bad-mouthing lock, and devaluing the lock funds so they could swoop in and get them cheap and then cash out all at once. What does that have anything to do with lock finances if you already had the funds segregated? This site is a complete joke

Even with the segregation, is it a safe assumption that money on JuicyStakes will never be seen either?

If you're dumb enough to keep playing on Lock over the last year you kinda are getting what everyone knew was coming imo.

Buncha scumbags obv.

The problem is, it's already too late to get out IMO. Unfortunately, a lot of people are never going to see their money again, as trading funds has now become pointless.

unnecessary hurt to other skins on the network like intertops which are WAY more reliable

What about the pros who have been promoting Lock? They will get a pass again, because so many of them are beloved online pros? This immunity for players promoting sites that are just a bunch of crooks should stop...
