Just hit Jackpot

Wow! Congrats. I don't the answer to your question but CL-Ed will be here later and I'm sure he will be able to answer your question.

Here is the jackpot link in case you aren't aware of it... http://www.casinolistings.com/jackpots

Congratulations dogfather72! I assume your win is this one that our tracker picked up here (around $91,000):

I don't suppose you took a screenshot? It would be a cracker!

Merge is actually the poker network that Lock Poker belongs to. Lock Casino (owned by the same people) uses Real Time Gaming (RTG) software and therefore offers their pooled jackpots.

Our most recent experiences with Lock Casino haven't been then best, to be honest. They had financial troubles a few years ago when a lot of their funds were seized. Since then, they have continued to pay players but it is usually a slow and drawn out process, especially if you're in the USA. However, as you have won a progressive jackpot that is pooled across most RTG casinos, the funds don't have to come from Lock's own accounts. So there should be no problem with them not having the money, its more a question of how they can arrange to get it to you given you'll presumably want it transferred to a U.S. bank account. It is even possible that you may be able to arrange to be paid directly by RTG itself.

Let me know if you need any help or have any issues at all, as I have the contact details of the owner here somewhere.

Congrats dogfather! Hope you get that banked! Sounds epic!

Wow! Was Lady Luck ever shining down on YOU! A win like that would make my entire life, lol! Sounds like you will have a couple of options for getting paid. Please do keep us posted. I would love to see that screen shot, too!

CONGRATS!

wooow congrats mate! you seem to be lucky though Let's hope that you get paid, I think there is no reason for such a panic yet - it does usually take some time....

RTG is the software company that makes the games that Lock Casino (and many others use). As you won a progressive jackpot that is shared between lots of different casinos, I figured that RTG may be the ones to pay you directly instead of it coming from Lock Casino, because you didn't really win any of Lock's money. On big progressive wins, sometimes the money is passed from the software company to the casino then on to the player, and sometimes it is done directly without casino intervention.

Central Disputes System is owned by RTG so if you have been contacted by them then it sounds like that may be indeed what is happening.

Kudos to you dogfather72... enjoy the gambling winnings and don't put it back from where you got it! and good luck for the withdrawals though..

It may take a few days dogfather. RTG is usually pretty good, but if I were in your shoes (one day, I hope!) I'd keep on them. With that much money sitting there waiting for you, I can't say I blame you for being a little antsy to hear back from them.

More than likely just give it a couple of days. I am sure Ed can shed some light on things if it isn't resolved by then.

Hang in there and keep thinking positive! Keep us posted. Will be waiting for GOOD NEWS!

Yes its the weekend now and I am sure they don't work weekends. Try to relax and wait until Monday!

well congrats, biggest jackpot I ever hit in a Pokergame was for 2000 Euros on Heartbeat poker at Pafonline some years ago=)

It sounds like this is going to be a long weekend for you dogfather. Keeping fingers crossed for you.

Have you contacted them again? Did you get a phone number for Mr Olazabal? If not, send them an email and ask for a phone number.

I'll send you a PM and see if I can put you in touch with someone who can help you.

Have they asked you for documents to confirm your identity? Are you still speaking with the casino about the jackpot?

I really hope this comes to a good conclusion for you soon. I cannot imagine the anxiety you are going through waiting for this jackpot!

Keep up the good spirit, if you persevere.. they may send your big winnings sooner than you think!

I have sent a few emails about this myself over the weekend and I am waiting for a response. I'll let you know if/when I get one.

I've tried googling for past progressive winners but couldn't find anything. Most people in that situation probably want to keep things quiet I'd guess.

Yes Hastings International B.V. is the RTG company name. I haven't run into creditpuma before though.

I have received a response from the CEO of Lock Casino stating that she is in daily communication with RTG on this, so hang tight. I suggested that perhaps they could be a bit more communicative with you given that no-one seems to be telling you anything.
