Lock Poker: Hammer is DOWN from PPA

Quoting from here:

The Poker Players Alliance (PPA) has published an open letter to the poker operator Lock Poker requesting that its respond to inquiries. It is thought that up to fifty players have been waiting for over a year in order to receive a withdrawal from Lock Poker.

PPA Demands Answers from Lock Poker
With many Lock Poker players awaiting their withdrawals for more than a year, the PPA has sent an open letter demanding answers.
There are cash-outs still pending from November 2012 and in total the site is thought to owe $936,000 to players.
The site left the Revolution Gaming network in October last year and in a statement issued at the time the network said it was ?due to lack of payment to the Network and a large growing debt.?

Since then Lock has created its own network where it continues to advertise misleading estimate withdrawal times. The PPA has said that the time estimate on the site ?clearly falls far short in warning new depositors of the significant cashout situation at Lock Poker.?

The letter from the PPA has requested answers to four questions:
1. Does Lock Poker keep players? funds segregated from operating funds? If so, what mechanism is used to accomplish this separation?

2. Does Lock Poker have, or will it be implementing, a system to organize its payment processing so that those who have been waiting the longest will be given priority in future payments?

3. Does Lock Poker have a timeline of its plan to pay its players in full?

4. Will Lock Poker immediately provide open, accurate, up-to-date information regarding time required to process customer withdrawal requests?

So far there has been no response from Lock Poker.

I love the PPA

thats because there is no one at lock poker...at all customers or staff
they have just kinda done a runner imo
i logged onto the software yesterday and found like 1 person at the cash tablkes didnt look at what if any tourneys were running

still waiting on my cashout and ive had no response from them for over 3 months
ive kinda said bye to my money tbh

Looks like I should be glad that I never played at Lock...

I agree MIG I never played there either. However not sure what power the PPA has over Lock. Wonder if it will scare them or not. I have a feeling it wont do anything. but I have been wrong before lol.

guess I won't bother with downloading that one either.. (waves bye)

Wow no kidding these "operators" are all trolls! Is a rake not enough?

Got it Lock poker and bet on line ,on my list of sites not to mess with.

I closed my account months ago-Too bad this site ruined it's Reputation guess all of the sponsored Pro's left before it became another fulltilt like mess-farewell Lock Poker you killed your poker dream.

The ppa has no power. They are just a group of poker players who got together and gave themselves a name. Lock is dead and whoever has money on that site should sell it for whatever anyone gives them.

Yeah lock is pretty pointless to play

i seen a guy on 2plus 2 trying to sell 10k of lock for 200 bucks, im like wtf..dam that sucks to even have to go so low to get some funds off that site..another internet scam

they will end up doing just like everleaf did and just dissapear, its a matter of time. I have 500 pending cashout there and i have little hope i will ever see any of it

I hate to hear another sad online poker story. It seems so long ago that poker was booming. Now its just depressing.

The amazing thing is that Lock still has enough employees to keep the site running. Put it out of its misery!

Looks like the owner of LOCK is a Nigerian Prince from Africa.

Wow that sucks this is whats effin up our online poker chance, the rake isn't enough they see the extra money there and probably say lets spend this we'll get it back from the rakes but then people dont get paid and u lose clients and ur rakes down alot.

HOW DO PEOPLE PLAY THERE!!! i knew lock was a shady site for a couple of years now

I still have over $500 on there,,, thank goodness I was able to get my 3K off there early last year.

I used to play there when I was younger like 17, 18, still having my parents deposit for me initially on sites. I still get on just to see if they're people playing and I've found that the only time they have more than 10 or 20 people on is for there freerolls and I can only assume its people like me playing the freerolls to try and cash later just to see what would happen with the funds won. Strangely enough there are 2 different players there every night just about and they sit on the 500/1k tables with 20-100k and I just cant figure out why? At that level of players you would think they wouldnt even be wasting their time sitting down to a table. If they're winning its probably in vain and if theyre loosing then any 2% chance they ever get cashed they're risking loosing it. I'm really unsure what to think about people on lock especially at non micro stakes, what do you all think about this because it just hurts my brain.

Also I feel like off the tables the poker community is so different than any other community of people. I feel that we are generally trustworthy and honest people that look out for each other, part of its transparency because you can look up anyone's stats pretty much on line or live. Rambled a little there and might have got lost but to my point, lock doesnt have a chat box, I feel that thats purposeful because they know how close regular players in our community are and we would get on the site and make sure everyone knew that they're money was in danger. There withdraw from 2+2 and the rest of the community also supports my theory that theyre just taking in what they can until they arent taking in as much as there operating cost are. The second they arent making a dollar over there they will be gone.
