Lock Poker Review

Lock Poker Remembers Vegas Rat Pack

Take a poker journey

From the minute you visit Lock Poker you will know you are not at your run of the mill poker room. The first thing you will notice is the absence of flashy overdone gaudy graphics in blinding colors. Instead, Lock Poker uses easy on the eyes retro shades of black, silver, and white as a backdrop for members of the old Vegas Rat Pack, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin to welcome players. Because they are a member of the popular Merge Poker Network, like all Merge poker rooms, Americans aren’t shut out because Lock Poker has their doors wide open to US players. And since the Network shares players and poker tables, player traffic at Lock Poker is great and the promotions are awesome.

Speaking of promotions, players can take advantage of fantastic daily freerolls as part of their freeroll into their Millions Satellite series. Players also enjoy a terrific VIP program which features a fantastic 35% rakeback program for players who play at Lock Poker’s cash game tables. How it works: for every $1.00 you pay in rake, you will receive $0.35 back which will be deposited at the end of the month right into your Lock Poker account.

Like other poker rooms on the Merge Poker Network, Lock Poker’s VIP program is the Gold Chip promotion. This Frequent Player Point program awards valuable Gold Chips which can be redeemed for tournament buy-ins. There is also the Gold Cards promotion where players are awarded Gold Cards when they hit certain rake levels. Currently Lock Poker has an amazing jackpot of $52,000 which will be awarded to the first player to accumulate all 52 Gold Cards. Other promotions include lucrative progressive Bad Beat jackpot tables in Stud and Holdem and the Royal Flush promo where if you hit a royal flush, you will pocket up to 100x the big blinds which could net you up to $1,000!

For tournament fans, from the freeroll Gold Chip events to the Sunday $50,000 Guaranteed Prizepool tournament, Lock Poker offers a huge schedule of tournaments. Of course direct buy-ins are always available but so are several satellites starting at just $2+$0.20 for all events including the MEGA Million tournament with over 12,500 prizes up for grabs valued at over $1,000,000.

Cash game players will find all of their favorite games at Lock Poker including Holdem, and Omaha High and Hi/Lo, plus 5 Card Draw played with or without a joker. Mixed games include; HORSE, HA, HO, RASH, HAR and SHOE. Other games available are Badugi, Razz, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo, Deuce to Seven and Ace to Five Low Ball. Limits start at Micro-stakes of $0.02/$0.04 and graduate up to $300/$600 with most games played at Limit, No Limit and Pot Limit stakes. The rake is the industry standard at 5% with a max of $3 and there is a no flop no drop policy.

When it comes to playability, the Lock Poker software has all the features and options any online poker player could want starting with a site that is multilingual. Once downloaded, players will find options available such as Table themes, Chat, Preferred Seating, Avatars, Hand History, Statistics and Tournament History. For multi-table players, Lock Poker offers Table re-sizing so that players can play as many tables and tournaments as their computer will support. And unlike most other poker rooms, Lock Poker offers Disconnect Protection which protects players and insures they will not lose money they have in the pot should they lose their internet connection during a hand.

Should you have a problem or a question while playing at Lock Poker, you get a quick answer when you contact the knowledgeable support team via email and live chat support. There is also a pretty extensive Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section for fast answers to common questions.

When it comes time to deposit, depending on where you live, you have several banking choices at Lock Poker including; ClickandBuy, Moneybookers, NETeller, VISA / VISA Delta / VISA Electron, MasterCard, Diners Club International, paysafecard, WebMoney, Solo / Maestro and Cashier's Check / Money Order / Bank Draft. Due to current banking laws in the USA, players residing in the US will find a convenient e-check method for depositing.

Players never have to worry about safety and security while playing at Lock Poker where maintaining the confidentiality of all personal information collected from players is a top priority. Sensitive information is never sold, traded or given to any third parties and all data is encrypted using the latest 256-bit TwoFish encryption algorithm technology and the most up to date SSL Version 3 with 128 bit encryption is used on the poker site and by the customer support department.

Lock Poker may be the new kid on the block when it comes to online poker but players are already finding out what a great place it is to play. From their huge variety of poker game varieties to great selection of tournaments, rookies all the way to the most seasoned pro will find the perfect seat at Lock Poker.
