Good to hear. I like their service but have been playing elsewhere because I've been leary of their situation and have not wanted any undue delays.

I'm waiting for a MB withdrawal of more than 2000$ for more than one week.

And I'm not from the US.

Why only $500? Are they seriously paying your $2000 in installments? What would be really bad is while they are doing this if the rest of the funds remained reversible! Tell me it ain't so and that you didn't spend the rest of it back!

i also got paid 1500 out of the 3k so half

I'm glad people are getting at least some of their money, but not happy about the installments on such small amounts. Thank you for the info and this tells me what I need to know about whether to deposit at this casino just yet.

 

[hitobito2005]

Thanks for the updates, not received any of my $2000 yet but still hopeful!

On the other hand they Elka has not replied to my emails for over a week now.

Hello all,

On the 28th of June I got an email from Lock stating that they had wired me $3000 and then would wire me $3000 the following week aswell. I received a document showing the wire details, and to my eyes everything seemed OK. This wire have however still not arrived to my bankaccount. I have contacted Lock about this and asked if they could performe a trace of the wire. I have not received any information of the result of this trace.

The week after, they paid me $2000 by moneybookers. Not the promised $3000.... I have not received anything for last week.

I should have received $9000 after teir new promises, but I have only received $2000. I have heared nothing about the trace of the wire.

Total received = $3500 out of $19600.

Now is the right time to really say that they are rogue and placed on the rogue list.

If they can't pay you even one of them promised 3000$ it's bad.

Of course there can be a lot of misunderstandings even at this point..they might have written wrong account nr. etc. but lets face it:

They should almost have visit you personally with flowers or chocolate together with your weekly 3000$.

They have lost it all now. IMO.

I received a document showing the wire details, and to my eyes everything seemed OK. This wire have however still not arrived to my bankaccount.

But apparently those details were not correct because, as I understand it, the wire transfer was stopped by your bank for incorrect details. So that transfer is DOA. Doubtless Lock will provide you with details when they get around to it.

This, of course, put it in another situation. Still, they could have paid him more by Moneybookers?

If they have money, I mean.
It's quite easy to fund and pay with moneybookers if you have the money.
I doubt they have.

And I also think that they have to answer Pulver on emails.

 

[Pulver]

Was it stopped? I have not received any information about this, even tho I asked for them to performe a wire over 1 week ago...

I am no expert on bank wires, but everything was correct, exept that they ended my first name with "ck" instead of "k". I don't know if banks stop incomming transfers just because one letter wrong. But if they did, why did Lock not fix it and wire it again, and inform me?

And why did they not pay me the full $3000 in "week 2" and why have they not paid me anything for "week 3"?

Edit: Btw. I contacted them regarding the small spelling mistake on my first name right away after receiving the document.

 

[maxd]

Was it stopped? I have not received any information about this ...

Ask nicely and I'm sure they'll give you the details in due course.

And yes, a misspelled name can most certainly stop something like this dead in its tracks. I've seen this several times over the years. Banks can be very, very anal about such things.

 

[Pulver]

All my emails with Lock have been polite..

But should I really have to ask for information like this, when I have been owed money for such a long time?

 

[slafs]

Maybe Lock believes that the PAB process is still continuing, and that's why they inform Max about the developement instead of Pulver? My guess is that they are still reading this thread but don't want to get involved.

I understand that there's probably a lot going on behind the scenes here that we don't know about, and that Max probably is the only one well informed by all parties. But still - why not just give Pulver a cc of the message telling Max that the wire transfer is DOA? Or even separately answering his polite request to where his overdue money is.

You can't blame him for getting frustrated! I'm actually impressed if he has managed to be polite for so long.

Anyone remember HippoJo?

That RTG casino claimed processor problems for ages, and small payments came out in dribs and drabs for months. Then they dissappeared from the face of the Earth owing me £3000 and many others. This was back in 2006.

Unfortuntely the Lock Casino case reminds me way too much of this experience!

 

[hitobito2005]

Just realised my initial withdrawal was 26th May, which was declined twice, my current standing withdrawal was submitted 8th June. So this time next week it will have been a delay of two months for a UK player who'd only deposited with Neteller.

 

[slafs]

Anyone remember HippoJo?

Do I ever! The got me for around £3000 as well.

This one seems a bit different though. Maybe it's because I'm watching from the outside this time, but my impression is that they have hit a financial bump in the road, not just plain and simple ran out of money.

Only time will tell. "Hindsight is the only reliable science" as we say in Norway.

That was an entirely different situation. With Hippojo, (from what I gathered) the financial backers didn't understand the dynamics of online casinos, and when it went in the red during the first month or two, they panicked and pulled out leaving the operators high and dry. That sucked.

This situation sucks as well, but it's being addressed and dealt with. As far as I know, payments are being squared away.

Can this forum vote to put Maxd in the rogue pit, at least before this whole online casino bullshit goes up in smoke...

Wow, that was a kick right in the ass, 4ofakind. Not called for.

I am not a friend of Max's or truly anyone else on here, with a few exceptions. I do know that the job Max tries to do is kind of a no win situation sometimes. He tries his best with PABs, even when the originator of the PM can't seem to shut up. He tries not get "snarky" when people here goad him.

On occasion, he does get snarky, and guess what? I do not blame him. It is a thankless job being in his shoes. I wouldn't take the job for any amount of money. I would become so jaded and end up the Snark Queen of the world!

You would all be scrubbing out latrines if it was up to me. Please, you guys need to not be so harsh and judgmental. I know, coming from me that might sound ludicrous, but I never lose my respect for those that try to make the system work better. Even the ones I might not like personally.

Laugh of the day/night. I had to read the sentence three times before I truly understood..

And I don't want to offend Max by this laugh(believe me Max). It was just so surprising. I wasn't prepared for that sentence when I had read the quote.

EDIT: You are of course right Jod5413! Not called for, even if I totally understand what 4oak meant.

 

[anniemac]

Jod, gotta agree with you on this one. Not sure why 40ak would post something like that. Maybe he was joking?

If not, not a cool thing to say. I wouldn't have Max's job for all the tea in China. Nice as I try to be, some folks would see the witchy side of me quick. I don't suffer fools and idiots well.

Besides, Maxd is the life line you might need someday. Why would you want to cut it into?

Not cool at all.

I intended to do that many months ago when Max used some horrible avatars to scare my wits off. He has mellowed somehow recently with a change to the more acceptable versions.

 

[maphesto]

Not sure why 40ak would post something like that. Maybe he was joking?

It was of course not just a joke. part of it, maybe. Lock owes Pulver a lot of money since three months back and they didn't pay him enough this time either. But they haven't told Pulver why. They haven't even answered his emails.
Definately rogue behaviour.

But when you read Max comment about ask nicely you can easily get the imression that Max defends Lock.

That is probably why 4oak made his post.

And to be honest, it's probably not easy to be Max in this situation either. Lock were accredited here until a few weeks ago and now Max sits between Lock and Pulver with more information than Pulver.

And no, I don't want to vote for placing Max in the rogue pit.
I want Lock to be in the rogue pit.
