Since the Lock Poker forum is read-only now, I found it only fitting to start a withdrawal thread here in the Internet Forum for ALL Lock withdrawals. That means checks, WU, Skrill, Neteller, Ecocard, carrier pigeon, camel...whatever. All in one thread.

Standard setup - just post your experience from request date to cash/check/whatever in hand and try to keep things as close to the title of the thread as possible. Here's a template if you like (since "pending" and "verified" really doesn't seem to make much of a difference).

Date Req'd: 00-00-13 (or '12 in some check instances...)
Date Rec'd: 00-00-13

If you haven't received yet, req'd date is fine. There's no mod to "assist" or "chase that up for you" any more, but at least we can try to keep an idea of what's going on at Lock - despite their best efforts to keep everything in-house. Best I can do is keep tracking with my Lock pending cashout report and hopefully this will keep that going as well.

Why can you not post on that thread anymore? I am almost in the 5 month club. 2 more days.

Lock left 2+2, basically, to start their own forum through their poker client. All threads in the Lock forum are read-only now. No sense in having a sub-forum with no rep to help players...

Still waiting for a 10k skrill cashout from 12.03.2013, 5 months for a ROW cashout, it has to be a record. Funny thing I already waited 7 months for money from minted and got it, so who knows...

Their new forum is 100% bull.

You already had my information from your old data collection thread but we'll get it in here seeing it's officially in the 5 month category as of yesterday.

2k Western Union
Req: March 6th
Verified: April 11th

What's your position on the post by all in at 420 in nvg Lock thread?

Didn't know about this...but responded.

Not to derail the purpose of this thread but well said! I question the motives of why the 2 "pros" are doing this seems shady to me.

^^ Yes, let's please keep this to what it's meant for. Withdrawal information being posted and discussed. Plenty of other threads to talk about other things.

WU requested 4/30/13 - don't believe it's even verified.

3k check requested: 3/25
Verified: 4/11
Processed (!): 8/8
Received: ?

Time to request another check!

I'll repost my situation from the other thread.

I requested a cashout for my last 1k in April and was declined in July. I received no explanation for the denial but I believe it was due to me not raking money after it was transferred to me, even though the transfer was completed 4 months prior to the rule about raking money with your transferred money being implemented.

I don't want to spend time playing on their site to make the funds available for withdrawal because I have a sneaking suspicion that Lock will not even be operational 6 months from now which is likely the quickest I can expect to receive my money.

Right now I am under the assumption that Lock has stolen 1000 dollars from me and I would highly recommend the rest of you getting your money off the site as quickly as possible. I have requested my withdrawal again, but I am very confident that i will be declined again.

If you consider playing on this site, even if you are going to follow all of their rules regarding cashouts, you need to understand situations like mine where I also followed all of the rules and in spite of that I was declined due to new rules being created after I had completed my transactions.

Perhaps you should sell it off in the marketplace if you don't think you can rake the 15% and cashout in time.

That might be about all he gets for his Lock funds at the rate it's going...:/

Check requested 3-23 was processed 8-8

As I mentioned, I had a check processed today. Need to request another. You guys think WU or check the way to go? Also, I tried to request a check and they're trying to charge me a fee since I've already had one processed this month...that was requested in March. lol

Well, recently WU can take a couple months or six depending on the breaks with Lock. Checks seem for the most part to be a longer wait, so...really it doesn't make much difference on wait times. It's a lottery either way. And to top that off, Lock was cancelling some WU requests and issuing checks in their place recently (of which arrived pretty quick...but that was after players had waited months already).

Yes me too, I just can't bring myself to pay 10% to withdrawal via WU.

I emailed them and they said the fee would be returned retroactively...not sure I trust it...

I did receive a check today from Lock. It had originated as a WU withdrawal back in early June, but was processed a few days ago as a check withdrawal. I received and deposited it today. Pleasantly surprised to get it, I had lost faith that it would come at all. Im a US player.

every WU I've done so far I've gotten the fee back, but it was pulling hairs to get the fee for the last one. took several emails and me being a complete primadonna to get it out of them. technically they are supposed to reimburse 1 WU fee a month but it actually does seem like being completely ignored is a concern going forward. given how long WU are taking & this fee thing I'm prob gonna go the check route for my next withdrawal

edit: assuming there is a next withdrawal

requested April 28th 2013

Verified July 18th 2013

Was on the new lock forum and Shane (if I dare mention his name here) said that a batch went out as of 8/5. I posted asking when the next batch would go out (they wouldn't even put my post up on their forum), and he said he would keep me informed(have not heard since).

If WU's are only going out once a week that is pretty low (unless someone here knows the rates of batches going out on other sites.) If it is once a week, perhaps lock is having problems securing WU as a reliable processor and this is why some WU have been turned over to Check. I wish lock would communicate with their players about these matters. I just don't understand it. I guess they just DO NOT CARE about their costumers or THEIR REPUTATION. It is such a crappy situation and I hope everyone here gets their money off.

how do i find the lock message board? i can't find it in my client.

If you mean the new forum, go to Admin>Forum.

It is pretty useless at the moment and they are HIGHLY selective as to what they post.
