LOCK POKER PROMOS PULLED FROM TOP POKER FORUM
2013-05-07
Pressure mounted this week on Lock Poker, a member of the Revolution poker network which has come under fire recently for slow-paying players and halting player-to-player fund transfers and subsequent cash-outs (see previous InfoPowa reports).
The influential twoplustwo poker forum stopped the company from pushing its offering due to the volume of player complaints, with forum owner Mason Malmuth taking an ethical approach which resulted in Lock agreeing to stop all promotions on 2+2 until the issues raised are resolved to the forum's satisfaction.
Lock Poker hosts a sponsored forum on 2+2 which includes company reps, and advertises extensively across the 2+2 site.
Malmuth reported that talks with the online poker operator had been "positive", although there were no results yet.

WHEN WILL FULL TILT POKER U.S. PLAYERS BE PAID?
2013-01-31
It's been a long wait since Black Friday for Full Tilt Poker players in the United States who found their funds blocked in the legal actions against the online poker site back on 2011.
Since then they've had to patiently wait as news unfolded of complicated criminal and civil legal proceedings, pleas and settlements which culminated in Pokerstars acquiring Full Tilt Poker and agreeing to pay out hundreds of millions in settlement, global player refunds and payments to the Department of Justice for reimbursement to US punters.
Pokerstars paid out global players months ago, but the DoJ has been trying to hire the right independent "claims administrator" to handle the US player situation...a process that seems to have taken an inordinate amount of time.
It is understood that around 1.3 million players are impacted, involving around $159 million now held by the government.
Back in November, the Department said it hoped to make an announcement early in the new year, but January is now all but gone and still there is no news.
The publication Card Player asked the Department for comment this week, only to be told that an announcement would be made "soon."
Not much to pin hopes on, but perhaps some light at the end of a long tunnel.
