The sad thing is, I've been monitoring Lock Payouts on various sites like 2+2 and I haven't heard of a single person getting their money in the last three months.
I think they must be at a point where they jsut don't care how many customers they lose and how many new customers are turned off by them. When a company stops caring about those things, you expect to see the CEO's and other high level executives hitting the EJECT BUTTON and landing safely in their GOLDEN PARACHUTES.
It is sad that we US Players are forced to do business with shady businesses just to play poker. Regulation would mean reputable companies could actually set up shop in the USA and so we would all be protected by the laws governing american corporations (or partnerships).
I honestly think people are tired of the USA being the land of the IMPRISONED and will start putting their votes to work. We can't bear another four years under democratic leadership. And though I honestly can't imagine feeling more imprisoned than I do now, I know that things can and will get a lot worse if we keep electing these worthless politicians into office. Difference between now and the future is we have the opportunity to change things now before they escalate to the establishment of a socialist regime. Once the regime is in place though, it will be very hard to fight it. And we americans are in no shape to fight; we are not the americans of the civil war who had the life experience and wherewithal to put our lives at risk to fight oppression. We are fat, lazy, deadbeats who have become accustomed to government handouts and strictly abiding by the ever increasingly invtrusive laws passed by the most liberal (and socialist) president the US has ever had.
Sorry for the rant, i guess thinking about LOCK had me thinking about how it really is AMERICA'S fault why so many people will be forfeiting their deposits and winnings.
Poker needs to be regulated in this country already. PERIOD
