hey shane,

if i have a wu pending (but already have sender info, just no mtcn), can i redeposit already to get the bonus. don't want to screw up my wu withdrawal i have pending.

Just an email about February's promos. It definitely got my attention. I like the idea of winning prizes and some cash. Hopefully, prizes will get to people faster than the cash.

I look forward to more info.

Yeah, waiting for the post for February since the email looks interesting (could turn out to dud)

copy and paste the email please as I either haven't gotten one or most likely chucked it from the Spam folder by accident.

copy and paste from my email:

thx, the 7.5K sounds like the double agent Rakerace combo like before.

ya he's right the 75k is just the value of the two races again.. only thing is the additional stuff

Hopefully more than the top 10 mega grinders will have a shot at so much as a dime of that money this time around...

So is there a seperate leaderboard for the ME package + perks or is it whoever wins the rake chase?

I'm sure Shane will post more info here soon..

I'm one of the mega grinders and I hope they spread the money out. The way the rake chase is set up now is just awful.

Few months back was way better for me aswell Not gunna ask to aim this promo to me tho obviously.. ultimately the "best" would probably be even lower rewards than it was before, and much more spread out so almost everyone can benefit a little rather than some benefitting a lot. (those who rake much are already rewarded more by gaining a higher VIP level and more Lock Lotto chances.

No 'actually send your cashout' promotion yet?

I'm kinda hoping that one of these days they'll do a personal rake chase instead of these constant rake races. They could make the lower levels only like 2-3% effective rakeback and scale up gradually to retain the incentive to keep raking more (make it like 8-10% at top few levels). Since Lock would be paying out to more players they could balance out their costs by capping the maximum chase earnings at a lower amount than the recent top rake race tiers. Then they could have just like a straight $50K race so that the top rakers will still be rewarded for putting in the sick amount of volume that they do. The top grinders would lose SOME value, but I don't think it'd be too devastating, they would still be making a very good RB%, and all other stakes would see a fairly drastic improvement.

I also wouldn't be opposed to a raked hands race for a change.

What do you guys think of this?

I think it sounds a lot like the VIP program.

But sure, why not have some months where that is increased, or has added levels.

I'll just leave this here.

lol, there's going to be "grind" tables now XD

Ok, so the Grind Tables are like Double Agent tables.

Are the normal prize levels network wide, or only on Lock?

Which one of the 2 prize lists awards the ME prize?

lol, pm Rizen that question

Well hopefully they pay out the Grind for Glory tables. Haven't been paid on the Double Agent tables all month (they haven't updated the prize levels for January either). Both Shane and support said they would look into it, both have since given up with no resolution.

bleh. Why even change the name if it's exactly the same?

Why do you think?

"oh, Lock is running a new promotion, let's check it out!"
