LOCK redeemed themselves

[Lucky Loser]

Lock clearly have cashflow problems and are probably close to being insolvent. Hopefully they can trade out of their problems and rebuild their badly tarnished reputation. Saying this, any reputable casino really should have large cash reserves in the bank to cover unexpected big wins or other contingencies.

The lesson here is to only play at big casino groups which have substantial cash backing (either private or shareholder capital) instead of these 2 bit start ups who trade on a shoe string budget and hope to get rich running an online casino, which is far more competitive than they realise. Apart from 3Dice I generally only play at casinos which fall under the above rule, whether accredited here or not (32 Red, Spin Palace, PartyCasino, William Hill etc).

If I win big I want to have some confidence I will get paid. None of the above casinos are going to go bust anytime soon. They are also far less likely to manufacture reasons not to pay a player their legitimate winnings. This is because their commercial reputation is too valuable to put at risk and negative publicity is not good for business.

I dont think you have to be afraid, any of the casinos is going to bust anytime soon. With the payouts they are all giving at the moment. Ive heard the staff in the casino industry are all getting 15% pay raise from next month
Maybe that is why slots only pay out around the 50-60% at the moment :xxx

My luck has been okay lately, not great but okay. I cannot seem to win a thing at 3Dice, RTG, Rival or Playtech casinos. All my successes have been from Microgaming casinos, 32Red, Jackpot City and Spin Palace in particular.

My recent luck at 32Red has been simply unbelievable. I have regularly turned small deposits of less than $50 into well over a thousand. I have just started playing there and am thousands up from multiple cashouts.

For example I made a $50 deposit on Friday (but lost) which entitled me to 50 free spins @30c on Thunderstruck2. Got a return of $13 which i then turned into $1100. Cashed out $800. Time before I collected $1500 from a $26 last ditch deposit. I lost about $1000 at 3dice and $26 was all I had left in my ewallet to gamble with.

I cannot speak more highly of 32Red. Good returns and fast payouts. The only downside is very few bonuses, but i dont care if returns are good.

Because it's time to stick a fork in them. They're done. There is nothing to indicate otherwise and this continued avoidance of payments and communication makes it look like there is nothing left there to bank on. There is no excuse and no way to explain this away. I don't think they were truthful with Max and Bryan and I don't believe for a minute that an operator with half a brain would keep all their money in one basket. The processor excuse is wearing thin.

I never bought it in the first place! It is total BS!

Pulver have you been paid? I know I saw that Liq had still not been.

 

[Pulver]

Not in full, no. Received around $1000 on the 2 of August. Waiting for another payment this week. With this pace I will be paid in full around christmas. Being paid slowly is better then not getting paid I suppose.

Your withdrawal is in the queue. We just have some delays in our payouts. You should expect your withdrawal to be completed within the next 7-10 business days.

Thanks for your patience.

PM from the 27th.

The 10th business day is tomorrow, no payment yet, why do they make promises if they're only gonna break them?

 

[Pulver]

Received anything yet Liquid?

Is it just me or is there a trend with a casino that comes out and praises the hell out of them selves and as soon as there is a smell of something bad going on with the casino the reps seem to disappear and we don't hear much of them again..

Absolutely spot on... Seen it with Lock.. Orangegamez... And a few others...

Marketing is all it is

To be honest I have always thought that a casino should be established for a set number of years before becoming accredited here. In fact i favour that proposal for a accreditation completely. Far to many fly by night casinos out there and lock is one just one of many.

This is one of the reasons that I started the Baptism by Fire section - to give players a chance to test the waters, and for others to observe. I could extend the time limit from 60 days to something longer, but I don't think several years would make much sense. This industry is just too dynamic.

US facing casinos are subject to uncertain situations. The casinos that are well established and funded seem to be rolling with the punches. The newer ones are the ones that have been getting hammered.
