Who are you?
I am ZDoctor. I created Lockerz-Scam. I have been waiting for you. You have many questions, and although the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably ignorant. Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not. Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also irrelevant.
Is Lockerz a Scam?
Lockerz is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of GPT Sites. It is the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden to sedulously avoid it, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here.
Redemption Kills?
Well reading over Lockerz Terms of Service I just happened to notice there last term. This term is in a set of several other terms that apply to redeeming PTZ. The very last term is in a Larger font then all the other terms in that set. It reads, “LOCKERZ SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES) TO A MEMBER OR ANY THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING FOR PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH A MEMBER’S REDEMPTION OF PTZ FOR MERCHANDISE, EXPERIENCES OR OTHERWISE.” Now what this means is that if in any way you are harmed and/or killed due to the redemption that it is not Lockerz fault. Now yes they need to to have these terms to avoid getting sued, but this seems very specific to you getting killed over something like a redemption. If the most people got something in redemption then there would be no need for this term, but Lockerz knows just how hard it is to get a prize from redemption. This is why they added this term, because they make such a hype about restock and only put a few items in the restock. They know it is so hard that people might even be killing each other in order to redeem, or camping out for hours or even days, which people have done, and die of lack of sleep. Looking at other prize sites, none have a rule like this that is so specifically directed to getting a harmed and/or killed trying to redeem a prize.
Great post, very informative and very true. No other prize site has something like this.

Sad if people would actully stoop so low to kill others for stupid prizes.

Lockerz knows that the redemption being so difficult to get what you want after spending months gathering ptz that people might resort to killing each other….and they don’t do anything to change that, all they do is make a disclaimer….as a matter of fact I don’t think it was in the original TOS….so if it was not then technically I did not agree it that term.

You have a point, but I think that is too much. I mean, no normal type of person will kill for a free PS3. Really. But there is something within that term, I’ve checked other sites like swagbucks and points2shop and there is no such a direct line.

I know it’s a pain, but you are completely right!

“We have the right to change our terms of service at any time”

They had to do this because people were threatening to kill themselves/others/pets. They had no choice but to add this in so if some IDIOT followed through with the threat, lockerz couldn’t be held responsible
@ zgore. I’m not sure if lockerz has this in their TOS, but most sites have something like “continuing to use our site agrees to changed TOS. Once again, I am just asuming.

I killed my brother for his prize
Posted on February 10th, 2010 at 8:33 am
people killing themselves to have a better chance of getting prize
Posted on February 15th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
I think lockerz new way to redeem should include a fishing rod with a prize attached to it hovering to members heads and they fight to the death to get it
why not use this instead of trying to kill us by waiting and having to stop our lived sober can go on to a site that will have prizes sold out on the site within seconds of going on
why? Simple PEOPLE ARE GREEDY PIGS
Posted on February 17th, 2010 at 5:46 am
Lockerz is an online site, do they even have a store? I doubt it
but yeah I agree with Nick, PEOPLE ARE TO DARN GREEDY if they kill someone, it’s their fault and not lockerz
Posted on February 17th, 2010 at 8:37 pm
ya its there fault but the point is to show that lockerz redemptions are usually horrible and lots of people don’t get anything…..this term was added when they changed the layout and after the redemptions keep getting worse
Posted on February 19th, 2010 at 9:30 pm
Dude youre so fucking right about that,I cant stop laughing… Every single redemption
needs a whole day or a whole week, trying to get your points to work and Lockerz know that
people are really trying hard to get something that it may even lost there lives waiting on it,,,
lockerz probably saying poor lockerz member trying so hard for just a couple of goods..
I am a lockerz member for three months now and Ive been trying so hard to get my dream price
you dont know what Ive been trough. I can see myself on one of that people….WTF….

You realise that people will kill someone over anything, right? I play video games, online video games are apart of that equation. There are a disturbingly large number of players who WILL and HAVE hunted down people and KILLED THEM because they were scammed, robbed of their loot or just because they felt wronged in any way.
You’ll notice that a similar term is in pretty much every thing like this. It’s not just Lockerz who put it in their terms. Dear god the ignorance of this site is astounding.
Posted on February 25th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
well did you read other prizes sites TOS??? i did and yes they have a similar rule but nothing as specific as this is…swagbucks says they are not liable for any damages caused from using there site…lockerz not only says that but has a separate term aimed directly at redeeming ptz and out of all the terms regarding redeeming ptz it has the largest font….
Posted on February 27th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
Really, I am frustrated over my PTZ at Lockerz but Jesus, would I kill, or harm myself. GET A LIFE. It or they are not that important. Really, who cares what they say or claim or disclaim, I saw they were a scam since week one and yet I still keep going back and earning PTZ. Hoping that one day I will get to use them but you know what, who really cares. It takes a minute of my day and if that is one less minute I am bored then so be it.

i have been a member and have missed there has only been two redemptions since i joined and i missed them both. this is the worst thing ever

You think lockerz is a scam because they’re trying to not get sued. Every site that gives anything out for free has the same terms, almost verbatim. How is that suspicious that they put that that? “You also agree that you will not use these products for any purposes prohibited by the united states law, including, without limitation, the development, design, manufacture, or production of missiles, or nuclear, chemical or biological weapons”- Itunes EULA. Is there any chance that any human being can think of a way to use Itunes to create a WMD? Other than being inspired by a song to do so; doubtful; but do you know why they put it in there? Because if someone SOMEHOW finds a way to, they don’t want to be to blame. If someone, with the astronomical chance that it could happen, gets killed in a way linked to redeeming a prize, then they don’t want to be sued.
Oh yeah, and my brother got Modern Warfare 2 from the site; and when I get up enough points to get my Ipod touch 32GB, I’ll make damn sure you are informed.
