Thanks D! I guess I downloaded the new Lock after the pure poker thing was removed. I guess that's a good thing:hmmmm:
Lock Leaving Revolution Network to Launch an Independent Poker Platform

Yeah WEC, I read those, but from what I've seen so far Pure doesn't actually know your balance, it requires you to key it in. That true? Lock took their own deposits so Revo wouldn't have access to them without Lock releasing the funds, and I can't see that happening given Lock's hostility towards the Pure redirection.
Some have said, perhaps speculating, that Pure will treat this as some sort of bonus because they can't just take it away from Lock. While Lock is telling players NOT to signup for Pure (not surprisingly).
We know they won't just give you the money twice, so yeah it will be interesting to see how they handle this.

Here is some background on Pure Poker:
Lock Poker Leaves Revolution – Co-Starring Who is Pure Poker?
In or around 2005, the Pure Poker brand partnered with Futurebet, which sub-licensed Ongame skins. A long list of companies and players lost everything invested. Pure Poker was mentioned several times during this debacle. It entered into negotiations with players to repay funds that most speculated were stolen by Futurebet, not Pure Poker. A long thread a Casinomeister covers this situation.

Well I am totally lost. It took me to pure poker and looks exactly like the cake skin or Revolution network. Do I need to go to Lock poker and use their download link?
I did not open account on pure poker yet. I was gonna wait to use CardsChat link.

Pure Poker looks like every other Revo skin because it is another Revo skin. It's what Revo is using to retain Lock players.
Lock has their own software now, you need to go to their website to download it.

When I 1st downloaded it took me to PurePoker also.I finaly got in touch with a Lock live rep and got set up with my old screen name FUGLYFISH @ Lock .PurePoker gave me $50 to start because my funds were over $200 & they had to verify my Lock acct.& find out how much I had because my Lock cash had not transfered to them yet so I could start playing there.I know a lot of people are confused,I am.I'm sure Lock is having a hard time at this moment because of this.But from what I am seeing now PurePoker must be trying to steal/trick Locks customers it seems like.

The live rep told me to try and transfer my funds @ https://migrate.lockpoker.eu/ and it worked for me @ Lock.

I am looking to play another site. This Lock Poker platform change sounds interesting. Anyone playing there satisfied? Has the change mad a difference on the poker play? I understand the resizing issue and cards hard to read, but is the software running smooth and is it maybe better than before? Any info to say that playing is a good choice, let me know!

I'm playing in a $25 gtd right now. Migrated from email they sent me - went smooth. I uninstalled the Pure Poker client that apparently Revolution thought was ok to push onto my system - I did not appreciate that.
Anyway playing in a $25 GTD righ now - no issue resizing to see cards - I assume they will be upgrading graphics over time - one thing I notice so far is they deal out 6-3 os too much - I hope they improve cards dealt...

You probably just did not do the "migrate account" first. Until you "migrate account" it does not recognize your nick...

The traffic shouldn't change at all compared to how it's been for the past couple months (since all other Revolution skins restricted their access to Lock). I'd say it's been running around 2,000 players or so for the past couple months.

I migrate it
when typing in Mittermeyer
it says it already been used....
Strange - if it sucessfully migrated the implication is it recognized it without a conflict - oh well - call support - good luck!

I have never experienced nor have I ever heard anything good about Lock Poker. A few of my friends have several thousands of dollars on that site and they have been waiting well over 6 months for their cash out!!! Also, if you visit other forums they are selling Lock Poker money for .19 on the dollar!!

If you do download the Pure Poker software will the money get automatically transfered to that site? They say that any balances over $200 need to be verified. Also, anyone know what will happen to cashouts that were processed many months ago. Are these going to still be processed or is that a lost cause?

I didn't bother trying the old client to see if it redirected me. I just downloaded Lock 2.0 from their email link and migrated my account.
Not that I intend to play there. I have a favorite Revolution skin that I'm quite happy on that has excellent customer service. OTOH, I might splash around a bit. Since I withdrew what I thought was all of my funds from Lock when things started going tits-up over there, I got a delayed rakeback payment of a few bucks that I ran up on a whim and now sits at around $100. Maybe I'll try out the software, see if I can run it up a few hundred more, and then test their new cashout procedure. It's a freeroll anyway, so why not.

GUess who paid for Lock's new software? You, the players.
Cake trying to screw over Lock through Pure is epic. Did Jen Larson really think she could just walk away from the network and they wouldn't at least try to poach their players in return for the money owed by Lock?
Karma at it's finest.
