We will be required to change our name at login once change networks, so probably not. I think hem will start recording games as cake games instead of merge. Not too sure but is my guess, since a nanonoko on stars and merge on your hem would proabably not share the same stats notes etc....

Shane, can you make a new stickied thread with all known info about the network change and update it as new information is released? Would definitely be easier than reading through this thread.

And both new and existing players will be eligible for our welcome bonus of 200% up to $2,000

It would be nice if Intertops rakeback players could share in that bonus.

All the players that stay with Lock should have their acct balance counted as a deposit and thus earn the bonus.

This would be a great way to show their appreciated for us being loyal to them.

At the very least, your top tier'd VIP players should get it. It's probably pretty unreasonable to give it to 100% of the playerbase. idk

this would get me to deposit today and start grinding on merge while i wait, instead of waiting for the changes.

any chance you guys release a preview of the MTT schedule before June 1st? I've heard Matt Stout is working on the schedule but I'm really curious to see what the guarantees look like.

The full schedule will be out before June 1st, we have announced some details already there will be a $100k GTD/75k Superstack on June 3.

Lock pros Annette Obrestad and Chris Moorman will host one of the tournaments while a second tournament will be hosted by pros Matt Stout and Melanie "Callisto" Weisner.

Is there something wrong with this question or am I being ignored because I had to start a new account after the hacking?

I don't believe you would be able to transfer money between skins. Much like other networks, each skin is their own entity and just share a player pool. You would have to withdraw from one to deposit on another.

Since even now you cant transfer cake to intertops or redstar to cake on the network, and if your on lock you cant transfer to carbon or any other skin.

Page 21 has some really great answers about pretty much everything before another same question gets posted.

Not to beat a dead horse but most of those states have zero laws that do not allow online poker. They are banned because merge got scared of the doj last May.

I have to admit that I'm getting more excited about this whole acquisition everyday and I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it's because it seems like Lock is making a bold move in the right direction? I think I'm getting ahead of myself as they still have the software to deal with. How they handle that will set them apart from the rest. Don't get me wrong, I like what I'm reading so far. The software, although not a dealbreaker, quite frankly sucks.

LockRizen confirmed that NY players will be able to open accounts on the new network. Can't speak for other states though.

Shane, this is a question regarding rakeback. I signed up with Lock after rakeback was suspended for new players, although i have a rakeback account on RPM. When the change happens will rakeback be available again, and will it be available for existing accounts currently without rakeback, like mine? I've seen one or two posts asking this specific question, but no answer, unless i overlooked it.
