Lock Poker

Hey guys. I've seen that a couple people here are playing on Lock Poker and I had some questions about playing here:

1. How do you guys feel about the games there? I play mostly .25/.50 cash games and $5.00 S&G's.
2. How do you feel about the Cashout options? It doesn't seem like I can deposit with a debit card but I'm not too sure. I know that you can use 3rd party options like Neteller and e-Wallet, but I'm not sure how comfortable I am with that. Ideally I'd like to be able to deposit from my debit card or a pre-paid Visa card.
3. What is the withdrawal minimum? At sites like Cake and Unabomber the minimum cashout for me $500 and it was in the form of a check. I'm not against the idea of getting my withdrawal in check form, It'd just be easier if it didn't have to be as much as $500.

Thanks for any help you guys might have.

I play on merge network (actually play on carbon but it's the same cashier system and player base).

The sit and go's didnt go off as often as I would like, for the 5.50 single table it would take like 30 minutes to an hour at times. The cash games were always going. They were tougher than stars and tilt, I believe this is probably only because serious/better players are will to find and jump through the hoops to play on merge.

As for buying in, they used to take my debit card, haven't tried in a while. I think this is more dependent on whether your bank will let the transaction go through.

Cashouts are the major issue there. Im not sure what the min is, but I don't think it's $500. I think in US you can only get a check and they take forever to process. I've had 2 buddies run it up and then try to cash out only to wait 6-8 weeks to get the check. Both got tired of waiting, cancelled cash out and proceeded to blast off the money. I think that what they kind of expect.

Maybe others have had better luck...
