Why don't sky let there players/customers know how to obtain passwords for tournaments. I have looked on a couple but see no criteria to meet or information as to why we cant play. Maybe I have just not managed to find the right link that explains it but when looking on the forum which I assumed was a page to help each other I just read people making un helpful quips.

    This has been brought up over and over again.
    These are private tourneys ,maybe for people who played sky bingo or placed a certain amount of bets on sky bet who knows but if you are eligable to play them you would have been invited.
    What is hard to understand about that?
    Last night there was probably hundreds of parties going on within a 50 mile radius of where i live. I didn't get invited to one :(. Its just not fair ( stamping my foot down and crossing my arms like a 2 year old)

    I don't mind if sky want to give specific tournaments to other branches of the company or to specific people only. I just thought that they would be able to explain who was entitled to enter. I don't want to be told any passwords but I would like the opportunity to earn them.

    If anybody has a question I am more than happy to give a sensible answer to try and help but when the same question gets asked over and over again but people are not willing to accept the answer that has been given in a number of threads (which trybetter has said he has read), then I might give a different kind of answer. ( which is still the right answer).

    Why is it brought up over and over again?
    Simples, sky refuse to admit it's a problem. 
    These freeroll appear in the lobby but if we try to enter all we get is this tournament is private / password protected. 
    That really infuriates people because there is no explanation of who might be eligible to play.
    The solution.
    Give the information of who is eligible, something like, freeroll for players who deposited a million pounds with sky bingo!! 

    Do we have a 
    Sky community or Sky secret service.

    Perhaps someone doesnt want anyone to know they have deposited a million pounds on SKY bingo.
    I think thats the point.
    Why do people feel they have the right to know?

    Because people might think that effectively it's their rake that is paying for these freerolls?

    Maybe to balance it out all the sky poker players could have a free bingo tournament.

    I think trybetter raises a perfectly valid point. These password protected freerolls are becomming more common on Sky and seem like good value. I don't think it will do much harm for Sky to explain the eligibility criteria of these freerolls, as I'm intrigued to find out how people get invited. That said, however - there could be legal implications if it is based on player activity or spend etc.. but I'm no expert on that.

    Keep it civil people.

    So by this reasoning I have the right to know what the guy who owns my local Londis is spending the profit he gets from me on.
    If its a new BMW then I should get free rides in it to work because its partly from my money.

    Yes its that ridiculous!!!

    Good morning.

    The Business is aware of this thread, & the concerns many voice, & where possible, will try to communicate as well as able to eligible players.
     
    However, as Mr Funky perceptively noted, it is not always possible so to do. In business, some matters have to remain confidential, & with good reason.

    Freerolls are run for a wide variety of reasons. It can be a "thank you", a prize, a tease to entice "lapsed" players to start playing again, part of a Promotion in another part of the Business (Bingo, Bet, Vegas, Sky Sports), a Social-Media (Twitter, Facebook) promotion, a Partnership or affiliate arrangement (such as RtR), or any number of other reasons. Those who are eligible or qualified will be made aware, or receive an invite.

    Meanwhile, there are daily Freerolls on Sky Poker, open to all, as well as the regular promotional freerolls, some of which can be found on the Promotions page, such as THIS

    The Sky Poker Premiership is now under way, too. I don't know the total Freeroll value of this, but it must be in excess of £10,000. Details are HERE

    Relative to its size, I think Sky Poker spend more on Freerolls than any other comparable Online Poker Site, & hopefully this will continue, alongside all the other Promotions & USP's such as the TV Channel.

    The central thrust of the thread seems to be that everyone has the right to know how Sky Poker allocate their Marketing & Promotional spend. Whatever form of words are used to wrap that reply up, the reality is that is not the case. 

    I hope this helps, but am happy to try & answer further questions if need be.
     
    See you all very soon in the Sky Poker Premiership, I hope. 

    Psst - Green Team are gonna win.
