Shane, the cash-out tread is a mess! People are waiting 5+ weeks on checks that were promised in no longer than 3. There has been next to nothing, in the way of support for these issues. What is happening with the checks?

It seems just like Mr. Michael Vick, I too must be an army of 1. I just want some clarity in this situation. Is that a lot to ask?

+1

I am heading back to my place of residence after playing live this afternoon. Today is the 35th day since my first withdraw request. Would anyone like to lay odds on my check and or checks being at my doorstep?

Day 36, No checks in hand. I am quite sure Lock sent out a bad batch of checks. Then recalled them and is now ignoring this. Then paying the recent requests as to make the appearance of having fast pay-outs again. Lock is screwing me out of 4k. Lock Poker will not hesitate to **** you over too.

Yeah I have read that checks have bounced too. I guess giving RPM a chance maybe? I dunno. I have read great things about RPM customer service but since joining I haven't played once because of software issues.

I am more concerned with the fact that Lock Poker is essentially playing a cash-flow game. I could receive my checks today and they still screwed me. Not having that cash costs me money and makes Lock money. I along with many others waiting for checks are essentially bankrolling lock thru this merger/acquisition with the Cake Network. It is unethical and Shane along with many others are aware of this, but hide in plain sight because of the cover working for a business like Lock Poker gives them.

Player funds are completely segregated, your checks were in no way bankrolling the acquisition.

With the move there has been a slight increase in the processing times of checks, but this was just the result of the extra workload that was created by the move.

Shane,

Why would "work load" prevent your processors(a third party) from processing checks?

Since when is twice as long and counting a slight increase?

Also, how do you rationalize saying I am not bankrolling your new venture, when as of today, day 39, Lock is still in possession of cash flow it had promised to disperse to myself and many others in my position?


Best.

I was just about to sign up for Lock ....then read this.

lol kevin keep in mind that while there are 1-2 negative threads on 2p2, there are hundreds of other people cashing out without any problem ^^

Just going to leave this link here

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...ng-rules-1529/

Leostrokov, creator of threads such as: "Why don't you increase the rake?" and "Lock is the best". Your writing is an undying voice of reason. Thank for your continued contribution to this forum.

And once again, ANOTHER shill account. While I am waiting (breathlessly) to depo, I like a post count above 100 with various substance before I'll take your word for it.

So - how much you got on site?

I think I have made it obvious within this thread that I am not a shill. Though I realize you are not calling me out specifically, I too have less than 100 posts.

The truth is we would all be better off if both Lock Poker and Merge carve out their own landscape. A bigger online poker world is good for all of us(except the habitual depositors). That being said we are in month 1 of Lock Poker and they(Lock) are not acting in a manner that merits continued support.

I am seeking money that was won and withdrawn upon. The parameters that were given by Lock have been neglected.

I don't want this to get lost in the shuffle.

I understand your frustration at how long cashouts are taking. That being said, it has become standard for cashouts to US players to be both long and unpredictable. Sometimes the checks take longer than predicted. Sometimes a batch of checks bounce and they have to be reissued. The point is that this is the market today and you need to realize that.

Your time could probably be much better spent completing the daily action plan or doing something that attempts to get poker regulated in the US, that way we wont have to deal with these cashout problems. Making a thread to complain that your cashout has taken 2 weeks longer than expected is just kind of ridiculous.

Kleinstein000, I find it interesting that your blog has 1 post over the past year and a half. What I find interesting is that it reads like a well disguised promotion of the merge network. Your post in this thread is acting as a buffer for Shane and Lock Poker as a whole. My points are valid. I can prove them.
Telling me my time would be better spent signing a petition, is comical at best.

BUMP.

Zsun i hope you get your checks by the time you need them.

grenzen, thank you.

I've been waiting since April 28th/May 7th for checks.

Starting to think I should just consider it money I'll never see. I got a bank transfer and a transfer from Lock back to the Merge network today. Done with this site until they make MAJOR changes.

I mean this is peoples money we are dealing with. Checks taking well over a month longer than what you promise, bouncing, and worst of all getting no response from customer support is just a ****ing joke.

Where is your money, you ask? Why, it’s earning free interest for Lock, that’s where it is. Same with Merge, for that matter. Any excuses for slow-pay is just flim-flam.

Each day your money is in their - aka, the players’ - “segregated account,” its earning them thousands in free monies. ez game

It’s just like how the medical insurance companies slow-pay reimbursements to doctors.

I'm gonna disagree on this one. The "thousands" of dollars is very little in today's market where interest rates are at or near historic lows world wide. Certainly all US facing sites know how many customers they lose by not paying more promptly. Thus, I sincerely doubt management of all of these companies is doing the calculus and coming to the conclusion that 1% per mm being withheld is worth losing the customers and business they'd retain otherwise.

Seriously, if this were the case and just one site "defected" and cashed people out quickly, they'd have all the business in short order... **many have claimed to do this but none ever have, hence there are no far and away leaders**
