Positives.... really high RB potential and I guess relatively high traffic for a US facing site.
Since you only asked for positives, I won't even start on the other end lol

+1

I like to think of my money in "Theoretical Dollars" like South Park. Really does help with tilt a bit.

aaaaa hmm wait I got 1 hmm oh you said positives never mind.

My god, why are there so many haters here? Yeah, I thought of Las Vegas, who cares? Here's an article describing that was part of the intention on the name design (to resemble Las Vegas):

http://www.beyondthebets.com/bovada-...gn-up-bonuses/

I don't care if the next company is IPlayCards.MN and the MN can stand for Montana, the Moon, I don't care. It's all just some bullcrap location trying to do the best they can to get away with paying U.S. players in the most "legal" of ways. Absolutely no reason why you couldn't just be like "oh hey btw, LV stands for Latvia, but I can see why you might think it was Las Vegas". Go back to fist pumping, making fun of someone for not wearing the same colors you like to wear, or just being the all-around "cool guy" you are.

grow a pair

the only "positive" is that you can get money for .5 on the dollar.

but OP asking your question is like thinking a positive of getting both your legs chopped off... At least you can save money by not buying shoes.

that just made my day

Positives: Great rakeback, solid sng action, decent mtt structures, good mix of regs and fish imo...

bolded underlined part should have no bearing on the POSITIVES Of lock now with fair play tech.

Regs according to them should be playing regs.

fish should be playing fish cuz thats what's fair on the playgrounds.

I can see your point there but there are many positive to lock imo if you aren't in a pressing need for your money. I understand we all WANTour money but has anyone just not gotten theirs? The waiting period isn't fun but at the end of the day I've always gotten my money...

the rake back is ridiculously good.... but probably contributing to the cashout problems. Like I'm pretty sure you can get close to 100% with a bonus + black vip. The games I play are also juicy as hell too, but obviously I can play the same stuff on intertops.

As long as I can get my money eventually, I'll keep some of my action on the site to have one max WU in the hole at all times, but I can't imagine playing more than the minimum until cashouts improve. I hate to admit it but I actually hope this fair play crap will eventually help their situation, despite it being wrong.

Intertops FTW though for now.

hey shane whats up.

So to answer your question on "has anyone not got their money?", the answer is yes. If you consistantly say players will get their money in 2-4 weeks and it is still 2-4 months with no money than I would consider it not getting my money.

The idea that we have to wait for lock to issue a statement saying they will not pay players or wait for them to get shut down audited or whatever crazy thing you think proves they cant pay is just ridiculous.

I dont feel bad for OP because he knows all the bad stuff about Lock and still is going to deposit. I feel bad for all the players that thought lock was honest and reputable and had no clue they were going to get the run around and scammed all together.

OP is the 25th henchman in the movies trying to beat the hero knowing full well the first 24 got killed in 2 seconds.
Gl OP, hope you deposit a bunch, "since you have a job and you dont need the money"

One question: How can they make much profit when they give out such high Rakeback deals and there is a player segregation in place on the network?

This thread should of been locked after OP.

Being able to buy the funds at 50c on the dollar is not a positive when there are obv negatives attached to that condition.

you sir are a buzzkill!

Easy: Don't pay anyone. Keep deposits. Profit.

This is not Shane but I do support Lock as I play there and enjoy it. All I'm saying is if you don't NEED your money instantly it's not bad. Like OP, I have a job and don't need the money instantly. I play for the love of the game and to make a lucrative side income. Aside from the cash out delay I do not see many negative vs a lot of of the positives the site has to offer..

Hi shane. Why are you multi'accounting on 2p2 instead of just using your main lock support account?

On a serious note, if you love Lock, why are you not buying everybodies lock funds for .5 on the dollar and collecting easy money. Guaranteed 50% profit is a better winrate than any poker players has every made online.

Because I play due to the fact that I love the game and have a passion for it. The site has never done wrong by me so I have nothing bad to say about it. Lock offers me a place to play daily while being a US player. Offers decent amount of games and I rarely have to wait to get a game because I primarily play HUSNGs. Works for me and I know it does for others as well. The title of this thread is "Positives of Lock" not berate Lock like all of the others. Therefore, I gave my POSITiVE input.

Positive of Lock? Hmm... Being so horrible that my decision to play somewhere else was really easy thank you Lock!!

positives.. The MTTs are super soft, The micro stakes are nit shows, and freerolls

Bovada Pay's you your money in week time and Money Transfer in 3 days or less, and offer great WSOP seats

MTT structures are good, most of the mtt regs aren't very good, I can buy for .5 and sell for around the same. Whatever Lock says their money is worth doesn't matter as long as you don't deposit at the full rate.

Ermmm.. it does affect each and every $ you've won by -playing- though. But yes, you can "deposit" big by buying lots of $ turn it over once and cashout for full.

^^

Fish and break-even players have it great on Lock right now. Buy at .50 on the dollar and have your entertainment value stretch twice as far. They don't have to worry about withdrawing and receiving 50% of what they profited (beyond their deposit amount) b/c they don't make money.

Oh, let's not forget about Fair Play and getting better player pools.
