Malta’s Lotteries & Gaming Authority publicly distances itself from Lock Poker

Edit by Rizen - just changed title, is misleading.

sigh. why do I always pick the worst sites. FTP was my home for years, lost my roll. Lock has been my home since April, may just end up losing my roll again too, F*** lol

This can't be good.

My confidence in Lock was dropping as it was, now it's plummeting.

They had a great chance to establish themselves after BF but now I'm worrying that their business plan was to get everyone's deposits and then vanish UB style.

I think they underestimated the marketshare they'd receive in such a short time and therefor lack on all fronts. I'm curious on how Lock will respond to this, but with the way they responded to the whole girah scandal it seems they'll just dig their own hole.

Like someone already mentioned it sounds like they never had one, yet included the logo on the site. They are currently licensed by Kahnawake, so I don't know why they would list being licensed by more than 1 place anyways.

Also, I was able to find Merge on the Malta site. Does the skin need to be licensed separately from the network?

They are still licensed by Kahnawake and Merge is listed as licensed on Malta's site.

I'm still working on all the details but this is just a misunderstanding. We are and always have been licensed by the KGC and the Curacao. We will be issuing an official statement regarding this later, as there appears to be some confusion between Merge and the LGE, but this has nothing to do with us 'losing' a license.

I will wait for the official statement to elaborate, but as of right now licensing wise nothing is different than it was a few weeks ago.

I know you've said you wouldn't lend your name to an untrustworthy site. You're a good guy, so I assume you'd cut ties with Lock if something was really wrong...

i dunno why people care about licenses anyway. you can lose your roll on any site, licensed or not. it comes down to how well the company is run, not the licenses. i bet Stars would have paid back their customers even if they had no licenses whatsoever. and all of FTP's licenses didnt help one damn thing.

what an idiot... can u read?

nothing really happened. lock had an lga logo on their site bc merge as a software provider has an lga license. the lga only said they dont have any connections with lock and they never had bc lock is licensed somewhere else. what a misleading title... should be changed asap... the sky is NOT falling, your money is as safe as before.

So what happened with this??

Despite LGA clearly posting on their website that LockPoker is fradulently displaying their LGA license logo on their website, LockPoker still has that on their website. You have not taken this situation seriously, you continue to lie on your website you are licensed in Malta, WHEN YOU ARE NOT.

When is that logo coming down, or this being resolved??

Lockpoker.eu

Lockpoker.eu is a website which has now been notified to the Authority as an intermediary of Alfard Malta Ltd (holder of a Maltese Remote Gaming Licence LGA/CL3/694/2010) which is to be operated on the Merge Gaming Malta platform (holder of Licence LGA/CL4/693/2010). Although duly licensed in Malta Alfard Gaming Ltd does not yet have the authorization to go live from Malta as currently Merge Malta Limited is in the process of finalising its technical setup in accordance with the Maltese Regulations, a process to be concluded shortly.

The Authority, however, denies spins by certain sections of the media. This was a case of having failed to notify the Authority of an intermediary arrangement in a timely fashion. The Authority, ever vigilant in the public interest, took immediate action as it does in all similar cases, irrespective of the nature of the infringement.
