Newest Lock Poker scam: Big withdrawals canceled, support unresponsive

[Steve-O]

So are you basically saying that there have only been 10 P2P transfers at Lock in recent days/weeks? I think if you read Pino's post you'll get an idea of how some legit people may have been caught up in this "sting"... You have proof that 10 or so players have had withdrawals denied, not every single person on the site, which is what you're saying or at the least implying.

I'm not saying the policy is good, or the right thing to do, or that they are using it honorably and consistently -- these answers I don't know. I'm just saying you are overstating things as you are wont to do sometimes. Like I said, maybe pump the brakes every now and then.

If this were really a "sting", they would have immediately have cleared the wrongly accused, especially after three weeks, and ESPECIALLY after the ensuing controversy is threatening their entire business.

The 10 or so people in that initial thread were active 2+2 posters, and not coincidentally, the ones making $10k (maximum) cashouts.

The vast majority of people with canceled Lock cashouts likely don't know about 2+2 or where they should go to make such a complaint, but are likely beating their heads against the wall arguing with Lock support via e-mail.

Lock's inaction after 3 weeks speaks a lot more than their actions when the problems originally occurred.

The fact that they refuse to explain their transfer/cashout policy just adds a lot more fuel to that fire.

I agree that it was handled poorly. But I don't see how being an active 2+2 user means you are not guilty of wrongdoing? I believe StoxPoker and others were active 2+2 users. You are implying that ALL cashouts from transfers have been cancelled, I simply asked you for proof of that claim. You then pointed to 10 people who may or may not be involved in whatever investigation they are conducting. I like to deal in facts not speculation. If you have proof that this is rampant and inconsistent than I'd be more than happy to listen.

Listen, Lock's cashout times are atrocious, their communication is worse, and they have a bad habit of indiscriminately changing policies midstream. I've publicly said that nobody should deposit on Lock until their issues are resolved (on G9OLT's forum no less). I think this is a pretty fair line I've taken for both the community and for Lock.
