Lock Poker is one of the largest online poker rooms still serving US customers. The site first came online in 2009 and since then has had a meteoric rise in the industry. Lock Poker started out on the Cake Poker Network before moving to the Merge Gaming Network in 2010. Lock has recently come full circle, having recently purchased the Cake poker Network which they rebranded as Revolution Gaming.

Since taking over the Cake Network, Lock and Revolution Gaming are now fighting toe-to-toe with Merge Gaming for the title of the most heavily trafficked US online poker network. Lock Poker has risen to the top of the industry by offering a ton of player-friendly promotions and going the extra-mile when it comes to signing sponsored player for the Team LockPRO Elite roster, which now includes such names as Chris Moorman, Annette Obrestad, Leo Margets, Paul Volpe, Melanie Weisner, and Matt Stout.
