A new skin on the Lock Poker Network has launched. The new site is known as Superwins.eu. It shares some liquidity with Lock Poker. However, a Lock Poker support representative states that the two companies are not related beyond the player pools.
4Flush contacted Superwins to inquire about the new site. We were told that some tournaments and lower cash games are shared between Superwins and Lock Poker. According to Superwins, Lock Poker has segregated higher limit games. We were also told that Superwins has a separate management team and cashier system.
The two sites have many similarities. This includes identical terms and conditions, as well as some registration info.
The domain Superwins.com is registered to the Lock Poker CEO, as discovered in this forum thread. JDB Services, a company tied to Lock Poker, is the administrative and technical contact listed for the site in the whois database. Superwins uses a .eu domain. It appears to be privately registered, but it and Lockpoker.eu have the same technical contact and organization information through a company referred to as Gandi SAS.
While this has concerned some players, it is common that skins on a network would share the same registration and technical information.

Network Flagship Lock Poker Cashout Issues Continue
Superwins was first brought to the attention of the online poker community by Two Plus Two posters. This is the same forum where late Lock Poker cashouts are compiled by IHasTehNutz. The amount of withdrawals owed to Lock Poker players for more than 60 days is over $900,000, according to the latest player reports. This includes players outside of the U.S. that have access to ewallets and other more convenient payment processing.
The report shows that only two players out of over 350 were paid during February. The reported cumulative total due to Lock Poker players waiting for more than 60 days is $918,850.
(Update: A new report was posted minutes after this article was published. The new total amount reportedly owed is $921,850.)
At least 26 players have been waiting more than one year for Lock Poker withdrawals. The oldest pending withdrawal request reported by players dates back to November 25, 2012.
