Lock Poker Bonus Review

Lock Poker is offering new players a 150% match sign up bonus up to $750.

To clear the Lock Poker Bonus play either ring games or tournaments for real money. The bonus is released in $5 increments and you earn $5 of your bonus for every 375 VIP Points you earn. You earn 10 VIP Points for every dollar of rake generated or every $1 of tournament fee's paid which equals earning $1 of bonus for every $7.50 of fee's or rake. See the full Lock Poker Bonus review.

Also receive daily cash back based on your VIP level. Earn 10% of the rake or fee's paid by earning 1,000 VIP points per month. Get 20% back if you earn 5,000 points, 30% by earning 10,000 points and 35% if you earn 50,000 or more points in a month. Again you earn 10 points for every $1 of rake generated or tournament fee's paid, so you can increase your level quickly. VIP points can also be exchanged for cash.

Banking Review

Lock Poker offers US players the option of using credit cards, Money Gram and Western Union. They recently upgraded their cashier and credit card deposits have much greater success rates.

Withdraws are offered by check, Bank Wire and Western Union for US players.

Customer Service Review

The support staff can be reached by e-mail at support@lockpoker.com or by LIVE Chat from within the poker client. Answers are received generally within 24 hours, but during our review at times it took anywhere from 2 to 36 hours. We like to see a telephone number. We recommend using LIVE Chat.

Site Traffic Review

Being part of the Merge Poker Network site traffic is very good here. With the exit of some the larger poker sites from the US market, Lock Poker has seen a huge increase in player volume. Cash ring games up to $20/$40 can be found at any time of the day and tournaments up to $100 buy in are available even during off peak times.

Other Notables

Lock Poker poker has what is probably the most advanced software available to USA players with great features like "Deal it Twice" and "Rabbit Hunting". Another great feature is the instant message you receive when a player logs in that you have notes on. Say you have someone flagged as a fish, when that player logs in you are notified so you can go play them. Also check out the bad beat jackpot as we have seen it grow to over $500K.

Lock Poker also has a Mac Compatible version of their software available for download.
