My advice would be to do some research on any of the sites with whom you plan on playing before you waste your precious time worrying about such things. Listen to these guys....they have your back! Don't even bother with Lock...not even with free money!

Its a complete fraud, do some more reading, I can't even believe you made this thread if you read a few forums, you should of seen an overwhelming negative connotation regarding anything to do with Lock.

In other words, DON'T PLAY ON LOCK!!! Even if they are offering freerolls. Just creating an account and playing helps give the impression it is a viable poker site. Play on Carbon. Play on Bovada. Play anywhere but Lock.

Not at all it is a Winning Poker Network skin. The site is legit, but it is by far the toughest network out of them all, I guess I can't speak for tournaments. Americas Cardroom and Blackchip Poker are on the same network.

Sorry, I meant to write "Pure Poker," not "True Poker!" I play at "True Poker" too. I was just asking about "Pure Poker" because when I uninstalled it the other day I noticed that one of it's directories was LOCK...didn't even know that was one of it's skins....tricky group for sure! Know anything about that?

PURE POKER'S software looks like the old Cake Poker's software but when I unistalled it, one of it's directories was "LOCK." Are they part of Cake or part of Lock? I'm confused with that whole group of skins because their software is all similar. Just a heads up....looks funny, that's all! Anybody?

Pure Poker is a skin on the Revolution Gaming Network and is not related to Lock. When Lock left Revolution, the network prepared the Lock Poker client software to redirect Lock customers to Pure Poker.

Yeah, looks like it's finally curtains for Lock. While I say, "Good riddance to bad rubbish", I do feel really terrible for all the people who will likely never see their money. :(

CardsChat will have a news story article coming up shortly. Stay tuned.

Interesting article!

But isn´t there a little typo? Wasn´t it Cake?

"However, Merge, which shortly after changed its name to the Revolution Network,..."

Lock...closed??? Hmmmm, surprizing....wonder why? See! One never knows until it's too late! (LOL)

Sorry for the sarcasm....I really do feel for all of those who lost money at Lock. It really is a shame that these creeps, Lock, put their bad mark on the rest of the industry. But, it adds value to this, as well as other, forums which bring shady dealings and bad experiences into the light. We are a community and it is our job to be honost with one another. As much as we love poker, it is our job to point out the bad, as well as the good, instead of pushing the bad experiences under the carpet in order to preserve the reputation of the rest of the industry for our own personal benefit.

Public forums which point out the good AND the bad side of their shared experiences add credence and credibility to their respective shared interests.

Nice job team! Lock may finally be closed, and hopefully, will not be able to rip off another one of us! I feel for those who lost in the process; they took one for the team!

You know what would be awesome? If one could create a sub-thread here that explaned the history of all these related networks and network skins: Cake, Revolution, Interops, juicy stakes, Lock, Pure Poker....etc. Some of which still have some pretty decent credibility.

Go for it, I'm sure lots of members would like to see what you come up with.

I haven't had any dealings with these gangsters & fraudsters, thank God! So please tell me to mind my own business if you want. But opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one, so here's mine;
I just read the news in kidkvno1's link & a few things jumped out at me in particular-
*Concerns about Lock Poker began in 2010 when the site appeared on Casinomeister's rogue list for slow payments.
*Many players reporting they have not been paid since 2012.
They have been under suspicion since 2010 & all suspicions have been confirmed without a shadow of a doubt since 2012, how on earth is this Max Zorin looking bitch (see Christopher Walken in 007) & her fellow filthy rich bandits still enjoying their freedom & their ill gotten gains?!?!

*April 2013 it became known that players sponsored by the site were being treated to an all-expense vacation to a castle in portugal....
*While some Lock Poker-sponsored players ended their sponsorships... , others took to the forums to support Lock Poker, asking players to give it more time. Additionally, some sponsored players posted that they were given assurances by management that players' funds were safe at Lock Poker and that payments would resume shortly.
Should we be naming & shaming these corporate shill's for their complicity in this indefensible scam?

*Lock Poker players have reported $1 million in unprocessed payouts on TwoPlusTwo, however, US Poker speculates there could be $10-$15 million in unprocessed customer withdrawals outstanding.
If I stole €10-20€ worth of beer from a shop I'd be up in front judge & possibly looking at prison time, but just like the too big to jail bankers, Lock Poker CEO Jennifer Larson is still a free woman, lying on a sunny beach somewhere, without a care in the world!

It is so sad to think that we are still talking about this in 2015, those crooks should have been rounded up & then all their assets seized & liquidated, which should in turn be used to pay back as much money, to as many victims as possible.
I just wonder if this sort of crime was committed against another sub section of society, would they have gone on so long without any sort of punishment or justice??

* And finally......What a shower of SCUMBAGS!!!!
