idk i'm hearing all these different things about checks from "Florida" i got my check 5/15 and ended up cashing it the same day because the check issuer is the same bank that i have, and i have yet to recieve a phonecall of it bouncing, however it does say that it is from "New Hampshire".... idk i hope i dont get a phonecall :/

4/29

It's probably not a great idea to post the name of Lock's payout processor in this thread. If you search google for "M.I. Seizure" (where M.I. is the bank name listed a few posts above) this thread is the first result.

I don't see how that can be good for anyone playing on Lock

If your check was drawn on your same bank, then you're almost certainly safe (and fortunate). Those don't go through an ECH clearing process, they're usually verified immediately at presentation, especially for cashing. If there were a problem you'd have know probably immediately and certainly by the next business day. When I write someone a check and they take it to my bank to cash it, the funds come out of my account immediately and not the next day or two like it would if they went to another bank.

Agree 100%. Can a mod go back and redact those?

That said, my Google-Fu tells me the aforementioned check issuer does not appear to be a financial institution. It appears to be a completely unrelated manufacturing business, which begs the question of their prudence in issuing checks with their business name on it. You'd think if they had entered into an arrangement with a company to middle-man funds, they'd have setup a 3rd party entity to do so.

Is it a Joke? I received two days ago a check and when I when to the bank to make a deposit they said me that the check didn't have money....come on!!. Is it normal? Help me, please?

I disagree. By listing the company issuing check, we are protecting other 2+2 members so they are aware of the frozen account. I know at least one bank (Chase) that if you deposit a check which is drawn from a "flagged account", Chase will suspend your account and eventually close it.

With that being said... it is important to know which checks are bad prior to depositing it.

I received a check from lock poker about ten days ago and it bounced. What do I do from here? I emailed them already. Has anyone had this problem and if so was it resolved? Thanks

So I tried to cash out $175 with western Union through lock poker on 5/20. I got an email saying that it was being processed. The money was removed from my account, but I haven't heard anything else from them? Anyone know about how long it takes before the cash out is available?

took 1 week for mine last week

And then it bounced

im totally guessing but they could be delaying everything till they officially leave merge and go on there own

for those that had their checks bounce did your bank ever give you access to the funds for the check? I received my check on monday and my bank gave me access to $200 on monday and access to the full amount of the check on tuesday. The funds still have not been taken out of my account so it might have cleared.

No. It bounced and they gave me the check back. Maybe it just depends on your bank.

Yes, I deposited it on 5/21 and was immediately given access to $100. On 5/22 it showed that I had access to the full amount of the check. On 5/24 the entire amount of the check was deducted from my account as well as a bounced check fee. I assure you if your check was from the same processor it will bounce eventually. You may have gotten lucky and received a check from a different processor.

One month process to get a bounced check. WP Lock. What is the point of carrying money over to your new network if there are no improvements in support? When stars had a processor shut down they paid 20% bonus on top of what the check amount was! 10k in bounced checks equaled a 2k bonus. Doing that showed they took care of their players and cared about keeping us. How are players being comepensated with Lock?
You're losing business because of issues like this and don't correct your mistakes or seem to even care at times. I have a small stable and play on Lock. I don't know if I will continue to do so.
I have 2 checks on the way and I wish I would have just paid some scum bag 20% vig for a trade to make sure I got paid. Its obvious that some people have better means of withdrawing funds and the every day players are being put on the back burner. I'm so frustrated with the way things are going.

max check requested 4/15, processed 4/18, received 5/11, deposited 5/25
max check requested 4/18, processed 4/29, received 5/13, deposited 5/25
max check requested 4/29, processed 5/9, received 5-21, deposited 5/25
max check requested 5/5, processed 5/25, received ??

Was out of town for a few weeks, just got back and deposited all the checks today... All drawn on reputable banks (one of them is who I bank with). Last one (received 5-21) was a Tampa, Florida check, but not M.I., drawn on a regional bank,, and the earlier two are drawn on nationwide banks and are from Texas. It sounds like 2 of 3 clearing the bank is an optimistic view. Will update when the checks clear or get rejected...

Just got the funds from my bounced check credited back to my account plus $69.95 for bounced check fee's.

This is pretty standard across the banking industry. Read up a few posts where I explained that banking regulations require them to give you access to the funds within 1-2 days if they can't verify funds sooner than that. Then they take it back + fees when it bounces, which can take upwards of a week or so. So I wouldn't spend the funds yet...

Just an update...

I got an email from Lock support stating my Lock account has been credited back with the bounced check amount. I am currently in vacation and do not have access to the poker client to verify but I am sure it is there.

Thank you Lock support for getting this done in a reasonable time.

Check 2:

Getting a slight bit annoying, going over a month when they say the max withdraw time takes 3 weeks.

Gonna be even better when the check bounces.

So far this is still holding, hoping I got the last of the funds in that account.

Support has gone dark for me. I requested a check about 14 days ago. Sent in the verification, they said it would take 3 days to get verified. Sent that in and haven't heard if I'm verified or not and they haven't responded to my last 3 emails
