double points starts on the 4th sep on cash but my questions are: 

does this include at happy hour ?

so do we get 4x the normal in happy hours ?

or just the double point with no happy hours ?

    I think Sky have finally got it right with this promotion. It makes no difference to the high volume grinders who reach priority, as they receive a flat % of rake paid back.

    But it will encourage everyone else below priority level to play more and earn more rakeback.

    Hi,

    The promotion is fixed at double points over the entire week, so you still get 2x the normal points at happy hour times rather than 4x.

    Cheers.

    ...put another way, Happy Hour is now Happy Week, or 168 consecutive Happy Hours!

    This does NOT "double-up" Promos like Happy Hour though. Effectively, "Happy Hour" stops for 7 days, starting Thursday.

    Cos happy hour os +50%  and this is +100%? Is that right?

    No!

    PS - I'll reply to your e-Mail, & do the deed, on Thursday. Spinning too many plates right now, sorry for the delay.

    Cheers Tikay, no worries about the delay.

    I'm confused now though lol, but that may be thanks to confusing wording of my first question. This promo is for double points (so 100% extra) whereas a normal happy hour is 50% extra (apart from them ones from like midnight - 2am) so it is double what you'd normally get extra in comparison to a happy hour? That was my understanding.

    Yes, it is twice as good as happy hour and lasts all that week.

    I get 30k rewards each month can someone explain how this promotion benefits me?

    In the words of John Mcenroe you cannot be serious. I am guessing that as you are from the north east its a wind up at least I hope it is. 

    Its a great promo, benefits all players from low volume recs to people who have nothing better to do. Much better than a rake race.

    It doesn't really.
    Any points promos, as you probably well know, are mostly beneficial to those players earning < 10 k points per month.

    In Response to Re: 2x points at cash question : No wind up gooner. I may get more points from it but it doesn't mean I will get anymore rakeback.  I can't see any benefits at all for players who usually rake 30k points.
    Posted by Donttelmum
    There aren't any benefits for you, like literally none at all if you earn 30k+ anyway. But then there aren't any benefits for MTT players when they run a rake race either. Not every promo is gonna help every player.

    In Response to Re: 2x points at cash question : I realise that and knew someone would say something along those lines.  I just wanted to know if there were any benefits for any higher raking players.  When there's a promotion that doesn't help other players, its not like we get 20 pages of players crying that they can't win something....is there?
    Posted by Donttelmum

    Dont you get enough benefits out of the site as it is ? Including a £500 golden ticket win last month. 

    Some people are just never happy. The promo is designed to encourage recreational players to up their volume not line the pockets of those at the top end.

    I just asked if it benefits higher raking players ffs. I do great from promos cos I work hard for them.  Now do 1.
    Posted by Donttelmum
    No you didnt, you said how does this promo benefit ME. Hence the incredulity and sarchasm from my responses. BTW I am priority and understand that the promo isnt as good as first appears but that revolves around doing some research. Given the amount you rake each month, I dont understand why you have sky as your site of preference, there are some stonking rakeback deals out there.
     
    Back to the promo I am very comfortable with sky giving the recs something back.
