what is the meaning of this Sky Poker


affiliates!? wtf!

u mean.... i can sign up via this site and auto-get 30% rakeback?? doesnt this undermine the whole overhaul of the C4P system a few months back?...why should i even bother with priority when i could 'potentially' create a new account via here! ive got to grind my ti*s off to get 30%, now just any1 can get it??

    Sky does give 30% you have to make 30k in points. That website I think only shows what the maximum rakeback could be.

    As of May 1st 2013 all RTR players will be moved to the Sky Poker Rewards program. All RTR players will be automatically upgraded to the Priority Club Gold Rewards level which is worth 30% rakeback

    So all RTR players would get 30% regardless of their points total?

    I saw this site a while ago actually and tried to see if I could sign up to it with an existing alias (you can do this on RTR on some other networks) but it wouldn't let me.

    EDIT: Just read details on site and it looks like anyone that signed up through RTR will get 30% RB regardless of how many points they earn (and then get the standard Prio benefits if you get 10k+ points). Pretty sigh if that's the case like.

    Certainly reads that way Paul, not clear if it's just 1st month or forever but glad I'm not Priority or I think I'd be a tad annoyed

    Tbf, I'd still be annoyed if I was you and I wasn't Priority.

    Say you get just 5k points, now that's 5000 x 2p so £100

    Assuming you got them all from MTTs/SnGs, you've paid £500 of rake so through RTR would get £150. Some might say it's only £50 but imo it's quite a lot, it's 50% extra, and a difference of £600 in your pocket over the year.

    Yeah just pointed out to someone on FB that it means 15,000 points goes from about £375 to like £560, so nearly £2.5k difference over a year, nice tax free payrise if you play for a living

    Needs clarifying whether it's just for the first month and you must reach 30k points to maintain that.

    I'm with others assuming it is temporary, but the information is a touch ambiguous.

    With all those rake races that were run, I'd have thought he was close now....

    i saw this before some where and it wasnt worded as bad as this one but i looked into it and they were jus advertising the max RB possible and saying that their members would be upgraded to the level where its possible to earn this level of RB-  on sky everyone starts on this level but have to work up to that 30% top bonus-- 

    this is worded incredibly bad saying that their members would all start at the highest amount -- this cannot be right surely -  some answers needed i think but thats my take on it-- 

    i would hope its not the case also tbh

    It wouldnt make any difference to me.  I make 30% every month anyway.

    Take it this is only open to new customers? And not applicable with an existing account?

    This is totally ambiguous, so RTR are saying ALL players attain Gold Reward status regardless of the volume/rake paid. I just dont believe this is true, otherwise there would be a lot more priority players than currently exist. 

    All you have to do is look at the priority main, yes there are more players this month thanks to double points but given the site is seen as very soft, if 30% rakeback is available then the site should be swamped with rake grinders. 

    Two years ago 20k points would get you nearly a grand playing sngs, now its much less and theres not much incentive to carry on grinding once you get to 10k.

    It does suggest the RTR players would receive 30% rakeback regardless of points.

    Could be just blatant false advertising, where the reality is you have to earn x amount of points.

    But I think 10,000 points is around 30% rakeback ?

    edit:

    10,000 points = 30% if you play MTT's

    10,000 points = 20% if you play cash

    mixture of the two then I have no idea :)

    anyway SKY would be good if you gave us a response on this matter

    er... 

    10k points is 20%

    20k = 25%

    30k = 30%
