I wish I had known about this forum years ago. At least months ago since I started on Lock. Anyway, Well past two months since a cashout was requested (1850 USD) and nothing. I know that CM has them listed as not recommended (again, had I only known about this site beforehand), but I just want to throw in my two cents that they are not getting any better, at least for US players. I have gotten the runaround from probably every customer service Rep they employ and below is the last convo I had with one of them. It was actually more helpful than most, I thought, until we got to the end.

Hello and welcome to our Live Chat service. Can you please confirm your email address so we may better assist you?

ezlovan
We spoke earlier

Chloe
Yes Roderick. How can we help ?

ezlovan
I've been in contact numerous times with support personnel since this payout was requested, but I have yet to ever be contacted by "cashier" personnel when I was told I would be. They have also never picked up the phone when I have called. I just need to get a fedex tracking number for the payout which was processed, or verification of the address that the check was sent to.

ezlovan
My address on file with Lock Casino was updated and correct before the cashout was requested, but for some reason the update to lock poker account did not show. I just want to verify that it was sent to the proper address so that I may make arrangements otherwise.

ezlovan
The payout was requested via Lock Casino, which had the correct address, but shows in my lock poker account, so you can understand why I would be worried about this given that your site charges 250 USD if a check is returned.

Chloe
Roderick we do not provide phone support. We provide Live Chat and emails

ezlovan
According to your website, you provide phone support at 1800-284-5952, press one to speak with the cashier. When the automated voice picks up it says "thank you for contacting Lock."

Chloe
Apologies for the confusion with that. We only provide Live Chat and emails at this stage

ezlovan
That's not a problem. But I would still like to verify that the check was sent to the correct address.

Chloe
Ok. One moment please

Chloe
Your check will be send to: Redacted

Chloe
1 redacted Rd

Chloe
redacted, TX

Chloe
readacted zip code, US

ezlovan
Thank you. Would it also be possible to get the FEDEX tracking number for the package?

Chloe
I am afraid not.

Chloe
Please rest assure we will send the funds ASAP

ezlovan
Will send? I received an email on 1 November stating that the funds had already been sent via FEDEX? It also shows on my account when I log in that the funds were SENT on 1 November 2012. Is this not true? Have the funds not actually been sent?

Chloe
Of course is true.

Chloe
Please allow until next week. If you do not receive your check by then please contact us again.

ezlovan
ok.


This is essentially how it goes every time. They kick the can down the road and ask me to contact them at a later time. I always do contact them at the specified later time, only to be blown off again.

Anyway, I know they are a crap site now and CM lists them as such. I just want to make sure that no one else in the US thinks about giving them a try. The site looks great, the poker is about as good as I've found for US players, but it is not worth it. Anything you win will end up in the abyss.
 
Casinomeister hosts the official Rogue Casino site - coining the phrase in the year 2000
It's a shame, they seemed like they were going to be good at the beginning then it all went downhill. You may eventually get paid though so don't give up hope. And of course now that you know better, you'll find another place to play next time.

BTW, If you're able to still edit your post, you should remove your email address - if you can't, report it and see if one of the mods will do it for you.
 
So they list a phone number, and it actually WORKS. How can they argue they don't have phone support:confused: WHY would they pay good money for a working phone line and an office to put it in if they are not using it.

Given the financial problems Lock have had, surely they would not pay for something they are not using.

It's pure bullshit, and more likely they are selectively answering calls, and using CLI to determine which player is calling. If they don't want to speak to that particular player, they just ditch the call.

Try calling again, but withhold your number, if they then answer, you will have proven them to be liars and deserving of the current status.

Perhaps phone pretending to be having problems depositing, so don't press 1 for the cashiers, try another option;)
 
Such a shame; in the early days I played there faithfully, bantered jokingly with support and received my WDs within 5 min of clicking the button to getting my funds in Skrill. I actually made my single biggest win ever at Lock ($1600).
But then Wds turned to hours, to days, to weeks.
As I said; such a shame.

Welcome to CM...

Please keep us updated. Its actually SAD how Rogue Casinos steal from players every single day. I hope you find a good Casino amongst the Accredited List.

Well, I did finally get an email response from someone claiming to be from the cashier with lock. He kicked the can down the road too, confirming that the check has NOT been sent as Chloe said it was ( as well as my first email I received on 1 Nov). He said to expect something within 2-3 weeks. It kind of reminds me of the exchange between Charlie and Turkish around the beginning of Snatch:

Turkish: What's happenin with them sausages, Charlie?
Charlie: Two minutes, Turkish!

a few minutes later....

Turkish: What's happenin with them Sausages, Charlie?
Charlie: Five minutes, Turkish!
Turkish: It was two minutes five minutes ago!

Anyhow, I'll post more updates as this goes along.....

the "redacted@yahoo.com" isn't my actual email. I edited it to say that after I realized what I'd done with the original post. Thanks and good looking out though!
 
Just an update. After being told to expect the check in 2-3 weeks the first week of November, I contacted Lock again.

Again, they kicked the can down the road a bit, telling me to expect the check by the end of last week.

Of course, being as I am writing this, I still have not received a check. Sent them another cordial email this morning. Anyone care to bet that the can gets kicked down the road again?

Months have gone by since the payout request, still nothing.

I know how you feel.. I had my single biggest win at Lock.. Withdrawed around $19k.. Took well over 6 months to be paid in full after constant pressure from my side. This was a couple of years ago, it has probably gotten even worse since then... I wish you the best of luck!

Like Rushmore, they don't have the money to pay players. This is all just stalling for time. You were told the check had been sent, and this bought them a few weeks, then you found that the 2-3 week wait was nothing more than a stalling process, and they had never sent it.

I bet they are going to utilize the Christmas chaos (post, holiday, etc) to stall through till February. You should tell them that having been deliberately lied to about the check, you don't believe a word of any further excuse, and will continue to hassle them daily until the payment arrives.

Maybe the reason they claim to no longer have a phone is because it was inundated with angry players demanding to know where their money was.
 
Here is the latest reply from just a few minutes ago:

" Hi,

I'm afraid no message came through again.

I see that your check is enroute to -

ADDRESS REMOVED
Killeen, TX 7654X
United States

and should be arriving shortly. Our apologies for the delay and thank you for your patience.
All my best,

Quinn

So, I do believe I will take the advice of the previous poster and hassle them daily until they cut me a check.
 
Well now I know where not to play. I get frustrated when it takes days to get the payout, well this story is certainly a test of patience. The casino I play at now usually pays within a day which is nice.

Define "shortly", days? weeks? next year?

Ask for a tracking number (they will say there isn't one, or some such excuse).
 
i am not 100% sure
but i think that i saw a thread of another player with the same problem at lock.

maybe instead of they stay with not recomended, stay rogued like rushmore??

I've asked them for the tracking number before and they just refused to give out that information. I know, of course, that it is all BS anyway and the check hasn't even been sent. I'm trying to remain polite with the customer service reps, but am starting to think perhaps I should go another route with them.
 
You should try to PAB aswell. If they don't cooperate with Max they should be rogued, IMO..

nonsense. don't blow me off again.
you
if the check has actually been mailed, why can you not provide a date that it was mailed and a method of shipping?
Sara
I understand your frustration and we will chase this up and hopefully you should receive a reply soon, but again I’m afraid we can’t help on our end and can only apologies for not being of more help
you
why do I not believe you? Could it be that you are providing the same canned responses as every other rep I have talked to and giving me the same run around while never answering a single question nor even coming close to making me believe that I will ever receive a check?
Sara
I can confirm that you will receive your check, as per our cashier department reply, this check is enroute, but unfortunately I cannot provide you more information so they will contact you as soon as possible regarding your cashout
you
again, I have heard that nonsense 4 times previously in the past month alone.
Sara
Sorry again but I understand your frustration but can only repeat that your case is with the relevant team, we wouldn’t be able resolve your case and you’ll have to wait for the relevant team to reply
you
Sara, is Lock Casino too broke to honor its payouts?
you
Has the ownership been spending my winnings and other clients winnings instead of running a fair operation?
you
Just curious. Because there really aren't too many other excuses you could offer.
Sara
I do understand your frustration, and we apologise for the delay. I can assure you that you will get your check soon
you
forgive me if I don't hold my breath waiting for the check that is "on the way."
you
Good day to you.




Oh, how I hate you, Lock Casino. Please, folks, stay the living hell away from Lock.
 
They are lying. This is the classic "check is in the post" excuse to stall a payment whilst appearing to have made the payment and the fault lies elsewhere.

They can't give you a date or tracking number because neither exist.

If they gave you too much information, you would be able to check from your end and find out they have been lying all along.

It seems very odd that FedEX magically identify casino payouts and send them via Antarctica, yet manage to courier everything else in a couple of days, even from Europe.

The only thing that has been sent is the request to their processor to send the check. The processor is sitting on it, perhaps waiting for Lock to send some money over as well.
 
If they are saying it was sent FedEx, call FedEx. Tell them you are trying to locate a package but don't have a tracking number. They will ask for your information and let you know if they have received anything to send you. I have done it many times. IF they don't have it, then you will have the proof that they lied. Not that you don't already know that, but you can let these idiots know you know they are full of crap.

Hope this helps.

Lock Casino Checks Bouncing

https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/threads/lock-casino.53547/

Above is the original load of crap I went through just to get a check. Anyway, after months, the check finally came and I checked my account online today and found out that the check had bounced. Has anyone else recently gotten lock to pay out and had the check returned for insufficient funds? Of course, I can't get through to their customer service right now and I'm honestly worried that they will tell me that it isn't their problem and to pound sand. Frankly, I'm so effing mad right now that I want to fly to N.A. and beat anyone and everyone associated with their crap site within an inch of their lives.

Please, please, please, folks, don't ever ever ever ever ever ever ever deposit money at lock casino or lock poker. EVER.
