Lock Poker appears to be down -- maybe for good

I'm connected to ACR but a lot is down right now including Crackpot Poker.

I originally thought that jackpot poker would be alright. Considering I'm just a daily rec player..

I actually played it 3x but druff and you guys are right.. it purely a game for suckers.. lost one ans won the other 2. They were only the 2$ tables but taking 1/3 of the prize pool hurts. Admittedly on the last table I played it was a 14$ prize pool for a 2$ entry.

I read somewhere that the odds of getting the 5k table for a 2$ entry is ??? 1/100000..

No thanks!! Il play scratches instead. Better odds, lol.

Could be something or nothing...but Carbon Poker seems using the same Curacao license number as Lock Poker. PokerAddict from 2+2 wrote this up just now and posted it on my site at 4Flush:

This is all! 1668/JAZ is the license number issued to Curacao eGaming. And George Praag is the owner/operator of Curacao eGaming.

In the case of Carbon Poker is Curacao eGaming = George Praag directly the operator and has not "only" the function as a statutory manager of the shell company.

Some people say that Jazetta is behind Carbon Poker. This would make perfect sense as the license number issued to Curacao eGaming is 1668/JAZ and JAZ could be an abbreviation for Jazetta.

Sorry. JAZette

Ahh, here we have the Cake Poker Network:

Jazette moved its brands over to Merge gaming in early 2010 from its previous home on the Cake Poker Network (now renamed Revolution).

Player segregation sounds familiar:

Jazette Segregates its Poker Player Pool from Rest of Merge Gaming Network

What is the ACR/BetCRIS connection?

Sports book looks the same

if they are one in the same or share common owners it is impossible to get stiffed.

I always thought the CRIS site was pokerforyou or poker4you or something like that

Lock still down or was it only temporarily?

[TheTruth]

This site was shady from day 1.. Was setup to be misleading from the start.

Everyone forgets that they were displaying eCOGRA seals that were being displayed for around 6 months after they left merge.

I called it back in 2012, that this site was a scam. I think its great news they are done, as they can not scam others, but so sad for the victims that had to deal with this.

Edit: I think many sites that were sending traffic there over the years is to blame as well. Lock from the start has been shady but affiliates were getting their money. So they did not care.

Just like Shane . He help cover it up and only reason he is putting out information is because he is sour he was not paid himself. He is not putting information out there for the good of the community but as a last F U to his former employers. Shane is just as much as a problem as any of them. Shane was the guy FOOLING people, he was the voice that was saying everything was okay. He was the one who said your money was safe. He was the one trying to mislead people when he knew something was wrong. That guy is a scumbag!!!
