this isnt normal for any site that has intentions to pay their players

Yea never hit Processed, its been over a week since approved.. I guess im out $300 o well guess its my fault for depositing

Both of these were bank transfers
Req 2/24 processes 2/27
Req 2/28 processes 2/28
Both for 2.5k each
Nothing has hit checking

wooow I cant believe how ignorant a few of the recent post in this thread are. I think its 100% normal to be cautious and skeptical when it comes to your money but there's a few things that should be taken into consideration. For one, if you're on Lock, you've likely been somehow getting your money back weeks quicker than some of the other skins. Read through the other withdraw threads. People have been waiting 1-2 months after being approved in many cases. Two, you should be happy you have a withdrawal thread; RPM has locked theirs lol. Third, theres some pretty promising results from whats been posted as far as WU, which is not an option for everyone on Mrge. If you are a member of 2+2 and have not read the information on that, that is your fault. And also remember that these skins arent shipping the payments themselves. If the processors spin them, it's out of their hands and would likely result in a false timeframe being given. There ARE other parties involved besides the Lock, Carbon, etc reps. Just something to take into consideration before accusing someone of scamming you.

and how do you know all this information sir? you work for lock???

is this question real? lol
Simply comparing given information. You can read the other skins' withdrawal threads and see when people have been requesting and receiving their money, similar to this one. As far as there being other parties involved, we(the poker world) have seen action taken against how many payment processors for their involvement with online gambling(including black friday)? History would imply that the poker sites dont have the means, or maybe the know-how, to do it themselves. Even Stars doesnt do their own, what would make me think little ole Lock does?

N how can you question the existence of a middleman when you play on a skin anyway lol. Dont you realize the skin, meaning Lock, are in a sense middle men themselves. My understanding has always been that Merge handles the money of all of their skins.

And no I dont. But if they need PR people im here lol

you say u got ur check via fedex im assuming like 2 days ago.. when did u process this?

We play on Carbon and Lock, our money is on their sites, we expect their time frames given to be honest and accurate whether its 2-3weeks or 6-8.. They continue to fail at the information they give us, they are to blame, their own personal issues have nothing to do with us.. Not to mention alot of these sites advertise blatant lies, and aren't willing to change them..

YoungOlehead is right in general guys. The ONLY thing I take issue with is when I am given a very specific time frame for when I am supposed to receive a check, and they repeatedly fail to meet it.

All in all though, Lock is doing considerably better than the competition.

First of all, who are you, please speak for yourself as am I.. Im sure at least 80% of 2+2ers plays online and have/had money on a site somewhere.

And its highly unlikely, and imo somewhat ignorant to think, that "personal issues" are to blame. If this were pre-black friday I'd think a little different.

If you were the head of a, lets say, drug cartel and the feds just made the biggest raid in history on your workers..You wouldnt be extremely cautious, and possibly cut back on production and distribution until the dark clouds werent directly on top of your head?? You dont think it would become more difficult to move your drugs without being noticed??? You're a poker player, right? Use your head. My scenario doesnt sound similar to what these sites and processors are likely dealing with? While theres no way possible for me to know that this is the SOLE cause of delays, I think everything Ive said is 100% plausible and logical.

Im pretty sure getting Americans their money is a little trickier post black friday. If you cant live with that, you should stop playing until there is legislation in your area. Seriously.

And there's no excuse for not having correct information on your site. Not sure what youre referring to, but in the event misleading info is posted they should definitely change it.

At least reply our e-mails? I'd rather get an excuse than nothing at all.
I understand their difficulties but why not just let us know what is going on?

It is personal issues when they say X-X time frame and almost never hit their mark, while advertising fast and secure withdrawals, support 24/7, admitting its wrong and should be looked into.. Well its been months and months they are still advertising lies.. Having to wait days for emails that half explain or sometimes don't explain anything about your withdrawal situation is pretty shady, specially when the sites are making even more then before with such rip off VIP crap opposed to 35% rakeback..

Can we put this guy on a timeout? He bring nothing to this thread.

youre input isn't needed.....we need real posters who have had bank transfers successfully put into their checking along with time frames, also checks. No one cares about opinions etc. we need concrete I req this date got it this date, opinions on this thread are useless.

You see, the ironic thing about your post is that, that's YOUR opinion ctfu.

withdrew via western union on 2/24/12 and it says it was approved on 2/27 yet i still have not gotten an email from them with the pickup info and they have no written me back it has been several days, why is it so hard to get money off Lock?

Tomorrow (well, today) will mark 6 business days. Hopefully I have good news for you guys.

1 week and 164 posts later, no responses at all from Rizen or Shane. Just pointing out them ignoring everyone unless absolutely necessary.

Rizen & Shane, if you don't know anything about a subject then say as much, but at least keep us up to date. It's not hard to post something like "Hey guys, sorry this bank wire stuff is taking longer than expected. I'm not sure what the delay is, but hopefully it will get better with time." or whatever. Being ignored by 'customer support' is so tilting.

I'm so annoyed that now my plan is to simply eat the 10% fees and WU my whole roll off over time.

I don't know the business in usa but is moneybookers not available?
I made a cashout of 1.2k yesterday from lock to moneybookers and it took under 24 hours.

wow.. must be nice.. ill just continue to wait 2 months.. no problem

STILL WAITING on my WU from 2/19
Has been "In Progress" since 2/21

I've sent multiple e-mails to support and i'll I've heard is "we'll look into it" lol

Finally got an encouraging response from support. I was just told a manager would be reviewing my cashout immediately. Will keep everyone updated.

Support based on outcry. Super good.

Are they charging for wu cash outs? Are they covering any wu fees?
