Last Monday, it was announced that LockPoker bought the Cake network. Therefore, LockPoker will leave the Merge network and will launch a new network that will bear the name of Revolution Gaming and which will be completely controlled by Lock Management. This network should see the day June 1, 2012.
Speaking of Lock Poker, we learned recently that 3 new pros were their appearance, namely: Annette Obrestad, Melanie Weisner and Chris Moorman. According to managers at LockPoker, the transition will be gradual.
The new software will be available as of May 31 and players will find their funds and their VIP level they had in the past.
The loss of Lock Poker for the Merge network will be important because according to figures provided by Pokerscout, Lock Poker represented 40% of the traffic on the network (a network that continues to accept US players) Merge.
According to information not yet confirmed, it is possible to receive rakeback on LockPoker once the transaction is completed. Furthermore, the deadlines for the cashout should be greatly improved (those who have already made a cashout at LockPoker know what we are talking about).
PokerCollectif will give you more details in this matter in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, discuss this news on PokerCollectif forums: LockPoker will leave the Merge network
