Judging by the great start in England's match against Moldova, it'll be a great opportunity for those who've been registered into the international FR tomorrow.

Best of luck to all those involved and indeed to England aswell :D

    No idea to be honest. I presume only the Sky Poker team will know the answer to that.
    It's not a big deal anyway as they do enough FRs for those who play them anyway :)

    Once again poor communication by Sky in relation to tourney qualification.

    Sort it out - Its not difficult!

    Not really. If someone's eligible they'll be contacted. If you're not contacted you're not eligible.
    That's as simple as it gets to be honest.

    Granted, Sky COULD release the info they use to decide who enters such tournaments but then everyone would be trying to meet that criteria and they would fill up. People would then be moaning that the tourney filled up too quick and demanding more FRs.

    really annoys me too. makes no sense not to tell people what to do to qualify for entry. maybe i'de play here more if i knew i had to earn more points to get entry into freerolls such as this.

    It has nothing to do with points or playing more. people are chosen randomly, im a little unhappy because there have been 4k football freerolls running now for at least 4 weeks and haven't been invited to any.

    Well no,

    It totally depends on the criteria. I have no problem with Sky setting the qualification high so only a set number are likely to get in. I just want to know what that criteria is.

    We are complaining becuase sky, yet again, are lacking transparency.

    Yesterday I tried to register and was told I was not allowed (even though there were other people registered)

    On the back of your comment I have tried again and was accepted, i mean if you had not posted I would not if realised I was suddenly allowed to enter. Total lack of clarity from sky again.

    They do a lot of things well, fast responses to tech problems, working on new software etc, but it is so frustrating that this small issue is not resloved.

    Hi guys,

    Just to give you some clarification...

    The tournament opened yesterday for eligible customers only (people selected based on their betting & poker activity)

    As England scored 4 goals last night, we decided that the inflated prize pool should be competed for by everyone!

    Apologies if this seemed a bit last minute but all depended on England (and Lambert's) performance!!

    Hope that's ok.

    Cheers,
    Jordan

    Thanks Jordan - much appreciated.

    Though I must ask, do Sky make public the betting & poker activity required to gain access in the first instance?

    Not on this ocassion which is a marketing decision, however all the other promotions we run have the staking requirements published on the site.

    Thanks.

    Cheers for that Jordan.

    It's a shame England didn't score as many as Ukraine did :p

    It's a shame that I didn't check this thread until just now though as I've unfortunately missed the registration but I guess I'll just have to wait until another similar opportunity.
