That's a good idea if your willing to wait 3 months for the bike. I would take the cash I think much safer.

Lock advertised that there would be winners for this promotion and still has not selected them. Why?

Shane, you need to respond to this issue right away. You can't get away with advertising a promotion and then not paying or awarding it.

I'll i'm saying is I would take the seat just because I live in a pipedream where I would try to Chris Moneymaker it....

Things get EXTREME. Everyday you qualify for a Lock Lotto level, you'll also earn an entry into the Monthly Grand Prize; your choice of a Ducati 848 EVO Superbike or a WSOP 2012 Main Event Seat!

The more days you qualify, the more entries you'll have into the monthly draw.

No need to sign up, just earn the qualifying points levels and you will automatically be entered to win.



WOW!~!!~!~!~~!!!!!!!

This sounds like a great promotion!!!!11!1!1!111!1!!!!111111!!!1!1!1

I'll follow up and post something else before the end of the day.

-Rizen

This is what Rizen said on June 29.

So obviously at that point they thought they were close to being able to do this.

Seems totally reasonable to conclude they aren't doing the drawings for those months and are just ignoring it. To their credit, they are continuing to do the promo, it's still on their website and they aren't deleting this thread nor any posts asking "what about the May and June winners?"

But the silence is concerning. At the end of June we were told it would be happening soon. Did they change their mind? Sure seems like it.


Lock,
you need to respond to this. I will personally bring up this matter directly with 2+2 guys like Mason Malmuth and Mat Sklansky if that's what it takes. I do not feel it is okay for a sponsor on this site to advertise a promotion that they are not paying out. So you kind of need to speak up about this sometime soon. If you're not giving away the prizes then you need to say so and give a reason. If you are then give some sort of time-frame. As much as we've been joking around and also expressing our disappointment here, I do think the player-base has been generally pretty patient about this all things considered. Thanks.

Plus one birrion. This is likely the most egregious off all of the "mishaps" Lock poker find themselves involved in. It is horrific to make people believe they can win a TWELVE AND A HALF THOUSAND DOLLAR prize and not pay it. Even worse isthe lack of communication and lying by the lock reps after the fact.

Not sure who this is specifically(at this point I'm nearly positive it in't shane or rizen), but someone with an IQ low enough to be considered legally ******ed is making a decision for lock to not explain themselves here. How anyone can be so stupid to consider this truly detrimental course of action to be optimal is truly scary to me. Whoever you are, please do the world a favor and do not procreate. Having even two of you out of 8 billion on this planet would likely lead us to this:

On a serious note, I think it is great that Bob is going to talk to some of the powers that be at this 2+2. If you want to treat your customers like **** and lie to them regarding promos and then ignore them when they ask about them for over 100 days straight, you don't deserve this forum.
09-13-2012 , 11:31 PM
LTT - To be honest, I have no idea if anyone will listen to me or care. Lock pays 2+2 for the forum. No money changes hands between 2+2 and me. But even for sponsored forums and other ads obviously there are standards too. But it's entirely up to them.

If Lock truly believes this course of action is appropriate though they should have no problem with me reporting it to the powers that be on this site and letting them know that they haven't paid out a promo that they were directly advertising right on here.
09-14-2012 , 12:07 AM
Wondering if this deserves a new thread with a more appropriate title. At the very least, +1 to bringing to the attention of 2+2 management (perhaps the 2+2 marketing manager is another good person to inform).

There is simply no excuse for what at this point can only be seen as promo-angling by Lock Poker.

Yea I jumped the gun in implying anything would be done about it. Regardless I'm pleased it will be brought to their attention. Some accountability beyond this thread is a good thing IMO. Obviously our persistent bumping of this thread isn't getting anything done.


And ya as usual I'd like to +1 what max said.

Like stated that needs to be cross posted in NVG to have the desired effect.

I just received an email that I won the Lock Lotto Extreme for May.

Here's the email:

My name is Jennifer and I am the CEO and Owner of Lock. I wanted to personally congratulate you on winning the Lock Lotto Extreme monthly draw in May! So sorry for the delay. We had to wait for our data from when we were on Merge. You have the choice of a Ducati or the cash value. Please email me directly on what prize you would like to have and I will arrange it for you.

We greatly appreciate your support and look forward to having you play with us for many years to come :-)

Best,

Jennifer

Great! Congrats WiCane !!

I do have to call bull**** on the excuse. But I guess now we can assume the May SNG LB should be sorted out, since they have now received May data from Merge.
09-17-2012 , 04:33 PM
I took the cash value and the money is already in my account.
09-17-2012 , 05:41 PM
Just to clarify the wrap up of the outstanding Lock Lotto draws.

May has now been ran as we saw from WiCane posting above taking the cash.

August has also been ran with tehpokerplay taking down the prize.

I have been informed that the promotion was not advertised for June and was not offered for that month so there will be no draw from June.
09-17-2012 , 05:52 PM
Were there any daily winners in June? I thought there were, but the Lock twitter account doesn't show any between May 30 through July 3. So that logic for no June winner appears reasonable.

Anyway, glad Lock finally moved forward on this and big-time congrats wicane

JEALOUS!!
09-17-2012 , 05:54 PM
There were no daily winners in June.
09-17-2012 , 08:11 PM
yep i'm still debating between taking the cash and the ducati

obviously cash is way more sensible....but the ducati is just so cool and impractical
