At 5000every 4 months this will take over 3 years to clear the money my son won. He will be out of college and working if DOJ doesn't collect his money before he does. The amount of dividends he could receive is shredded by sitting in a non-interset account. My feelings are that he may never see much of this money and BBJ is a farce if you win. Not a flame just a heck of a lot of frustration. I hope Rizen bosses aren't stringing him along as they clean out money to untraceable accounts. BBJ money is great but untouchable.
It's not untouchable. Plenty of reliable people willing to cash out merge money in the transfer thread. Suck it up and pay the vig and have your money in hours not months. Just my two cents

but really how crazy is it that a company is still able to get business knowing that in order to get money out your gonna have to take a pretty heavy hit to your profits

its simple...it is the primary option right now for U.S. players. we just have to suck it up and wait for regulation or move out of the country in order to get on a real site like stars.

What other network has 10k players and nobody is playing above 5/10NL? (If you played higher than 5/10NL its -Ev situation for cashing out.)


How about you PAY your players!!!!

With online poker legislation around the corner wouldn't you think these clowns at merge would do something to retain their player base?

Instead there cashouts are the worst in the industry, Support is infrequent at best, and we got some fatty micro managing everything.

Can anybody elaborate on how they were able to get WU as a withdraw option?

I am pretty sure that they only give WU to outstanding cases. I had a check waiting for over 8weeks from the casino side. I waiting a long time. so i think that many people are not able to get the WU as there have not been that many cases that i have seen in this thread that they have given it to. i can only see a few that got the option. I guess i was luck. but dont withdrawl from the casino its not worth the wait.

Don't bother going through the client. Just use your web browser and go to lockcasino dot com and login with your Lock credentials. When you click Cashier you should see Deposit and Withdrawal options again. I just did so to confirm.

Is the Casino side even processing withdrawals at this point? I have been authorized since 9/30 and on the priority list, but I still don't have my check.

Has anyone got a check from the casino side since August?

Paying the Vig is not the issue I/we pay it on every hand. The issue is if you win big consider there is another 10-15% fee because LOCK is not able to handle the process. Why would I consider playing here after have to pay a third party 10-15% to handle my money (if I see it at all) maybe LOCK has a side business buying there on money at 10-15% discount! Tidy profit me thinks MEXICO here I come

Hello,

Yes, the Withdrawal button has been removed due to Merchant limits. For future withdrawals, please request in Poker where payouts are being done much faster.

All my best,

do we still get refunded the check fee for the first check every month? because the last one I didn't get it so I emailed support and still didn't get it. theoretically you shouldn't even have to email support...

Right. I told them that would be a fine solution if I didn't already have one pending for weeks. I asked for them to expedite my current request cause I need to do another one right away since this is the only way to cashout now. Obv no response for two days.

Will update if/when it gets approved.
I contacted support about this a few days ago and they were helpful offering a Western Union transfer instead. Request was put through yesterday and I'll update when processed and received.

I don't know what your withdrawal amount was, but they have only been doing that for $800 or less. I have a max withdrawal from 8/28 that they haven't given me any help with

Seriously? Fkn august?

Please let us know what they have been telling you and have you contacted Rizen?

I'd tell them to do 3 western unions then. This is getting bad.

US player. First time withdrawal. Poker side.

Submitted: 9/19/11
Approved: ???

It has been seven weeks so far. Three weeks ago, I was placed on the "Priority List", but that doesn't really seem to have changed anything. This is pretty sad, honestly.

FYI - I put this in the other thread but payout times should go down significantly in the next 30 days. I can't go into specifics as there are 3-4 things in the works but due to the situation in the US things often change pretty quickly, so I don't want to mention any specific items and have them fall through (like the cash to card did). I do apologize that payouts have been taking significantly longer and I can assure everyone it is something that is being worked on as a top priority and everyone both at Lock and Merge are aware of it, and we should see times drop soon. I can't specifiy how much they'll drop because depending on what comes through it could vary. I'll give more info as specific items get finalized.

Thanks

Is the shorter time period going to start whenever it changes or will withdrawals that are already requested going to get expedited too? what is your opinion if you are not positive?
11-07-2011 , 04:33 PM
NM my check came today.
Just hope it doesn't bounce.
