Hi Shane, I've answered this in other threads but got no answer so I'm trying my luck here.
Will the new Lock have a VIP store and if yes do you have an ETA for when will be up ?
Also, at this moment are there any tournaments where you can use your VIP points to register ?

Thank you.

so this month we can get 200% bonus on total of 3k worth of deposits and next month 2k?

No ETA on the store yet, getting the more vital items in place first.

The system we inherited with Revolution didnt allow for purchasing tournament entries automatically. For now you can trade your points for cash to purchase entry, and in the near future we will build an automatic tool for this.


Im not sure where you get the 3K this month from as you can keep using the code. If you played enough you could continually deposit and clear the bonuses as much as you liked. The only restriction is you can only be clearing one bonus at a time.

FWIW, this only resolves the issue for VIP players. RB players won't be able to do anything with their points until the software is updated. I'd suggest giving RB players an opportunity to trade for T$'s in the interim ... if that isn't feasible then cash is always nice.

RB players are getting shafted without a use for their points. Something needs to be done immediately. I'm staying on Merge until Lock fixes the RB points issue.

Shane, does cashing out while I still have an active bonus void it?
Thanks.

still cannot access vault

Are you using Internet explorer?. It won't work with Firefox.

yea i understand only 1 bonus clear at a time...

so i deposited 2k with (THEFUTURE) and 1k with (REVOLUTION) for total of 3k deposited for 6k bonus........

next month i can do 2k more 4k bonus? so the max for both months is deposit 5k for 10k bonus total?

Unless you play enough to clear the bonus inside the month, then you could get more.

So do we have to clear the whole 4k before being able to redeposit it again? Or can we just make multiple deposits with THEFUTURE and have 3 months to clear them?

can trade vip points for cash now(maybe i just did not see this earlier?)..but still not able to access vault

I'm a RB player and I see that option as well. I understood that wasn't available to us. Anyone try it yet?

really? now im confused what is the total maximum(for each month) then and why inside the month? ill have 3months to clear them all one at a time i understand that part

I don't understand either. I'm hoping you can just stack the bonuses and have 3 months to clear them. That's how I thought it was.

As I understand each bonus has a 3 month clearing period but if you, somehow, clear the whole 6k bonus in less then a month you can redeposit 2K again using THEFUTURE (which has multiple uses) to get another 4K bonus.

Is this correct Shane ?

Correct.

arghhhhhhhhh had i know this woulda just dealt with the software issues and put in some actual grind sessions this month

We did post this, but its not all bad remember you can do the same thing this month with less of the stress from the teething problems.

The bonus runs all through July as does a fresh Ronin.

I have on Lock, works like a charme and the $ you get for points seems like a fair rate to me. Nice one Shane.

Guys, the bonus is nice but it is just an extra 10% rakeback or so (not positive now...might be less due to weird points structure). This whole bit of drooling over 200% of reload amount isn't really as droolworthy as some of you seem to think. It is okay. But again, it is just a rakeback % increase over the life of the bonus and that's it. Ronin is actually more valuable than the reload...as is the base rakeback or VIP points.

Again, its nothing to sneeze at. 60% is better than 50%...sure. (50% hypothetical for rb or vip + ronin....60% hypothetical for rb or vip + ronin + bonus). But it is not the best value around or anything. And Lock will almost certainly be giving more reloads in the future....because Lock likes it when players deposit LDO.

So if you "only" are getting 2 of the reloads instead of 5 or something it really isn't something to be kicking yourself over. They are extending it. They are unlimited. Enjoy your extra 10% rb or whatever it is over the next few months.

I think the bonus clears at $5 per 84 points? That is like 40% RB. Of course I have yet to see my bonus anywhere or receive any payments, so for me so far it is 0% RB, but if it is working as intended it is pretty large.

My old bonus has not shown up yet so I had no idea it was that different....if that is true.

The percentage you get IF it is $5/84 points depends on the game you play. If full-ring or tourneys then I'll trust your math. If 6-max then it's going to be about half of that. It's not going to be consistent throughout because the screwy points structure.

Still better than I was aware of though. Interesting.

6 max is getting getting screwed points wise and this needs to be fixed.

Can confirm new bonus clears at $5/84 points (VIP player), which is 42% for tournaments.
