It won't and even if they do, don't bother.

They can't even find a US processor anymore, or don't wanna risk money being in US accts, so they've taken to issuing Canadian checks which end up taking forever to get credited to ur acct by which time I'm sure the funds won't be available.

And even if they are available, you check could be deemed fraudulent.

Also, if you mean "taking forever" as 2 days then it does "take forever" to be credited to my account.

It could just be the bank that you go to. My bank is one of the larger ones and I have never had that kind of problems depositing the Canadian checks.

Hopefully the 6-8 weeks is a worse case scenario and you get it much faster.

I've also contacted Lock in hopes that they could somehow prove a new check or expedite the process.

In addition, the ****in processor who's name and ph number on the check aren't answering. The bank mgr tried calling and said no one was picking up, even tho a recording stated it was their business hours.

ugh!

.

Yeah - factors out of their control - like DOJ informants signing up to Merge, playing, cashing out a check, finding where that check was written from, and then shutting down said bank.

Just got this email after asking a question to support:

Welcome to Lock! We are sad to say that we are currently not accepting real money US players at this time. You can practice your game at the play money tables for the next 3-4 weeks

But the good news is that we are taking US real money players at Lock Casino. To check it out please click the Lock Casino tab in the poker lobby.

If you have any questions please let me know!
