    Look out behind you! 2000 angry freerollers with sticks shouting LET US IN FOR NO POINTS! LET US IN FOR NO POINTS!..But this is a good change, gives people who actually put money into the site a better chance at getting that free cash, without 2000 runners thinking any ace is the total mutts nutts

    50 points is quite a lot to gather for those who will be attracted by freerolls. I think it will therefore mainly attract new players from their 500 free points. I play about 8 DYMs a day and will only gather enough points to play about 3 or 4 times a month, even if I don't use any points to enter other "freerolls". Those who earn a thousand or more points a month won't (in the whole) be regularly attracted to freerolls anyway.

    I predict the numbers to dwindle quickly and this tourney to be abandoned before Christmas.

    50 points is a bit much for one of these types of freerolls, 5 points would be more suitable imo.

    Wow 50 points for a freeroll. Well thats 27p on my account I can never use or deposit. Not exactly a freeroll is it. It wasnt too bad when it was 1 point. But 50. Thats just pointless. 

    For us to get 50 points I means we must deposit money to the site to win points. Well if I have to add money to the site just to get points so I can get into a freeroll that may give me cast isnt going to happen. Your gunna have  lot of angry fans and alot of people not bothering to be on here now. 

    Bit extreme really isnt it.

    Of course Sky want all of their customers to deposit and play with real money.

    To think otherwise is a bit naive.  They arent giving charity.  They are a business.

    I agree.

    Not being given free money is very harsh.

    Yeah I know that. But with christmas right around the corner. People may not have the cash to do so.

    Why couldnt they just make a higher freeroll for the higher up players as they would more than likely have those points just lylating around.

    Plus if they kept it 0 points then those who make the money end up putting it back into sky pokers pockets anyway.

    Also with all the fees tjey have on all the tournements, sit and gos surely they make there money that way. As you never find a tourney or sit and go where everyone lasts so thats all those fees that users have already paid for and then lost there game so they make there money that way.

    27p in your account you can never use?! Oh the injustice.

    Sky, I've said this before. Scrap all the freerolls for the rest of the year, and give that money to charity, perhaps the disaster fund for whats happening over in south east Asia.

    Sick of ungrateful people throwing their toys out the pram over a freeroll tournament. Far, far worse things going on in this world than 50 **** poker points.

    Get a grip.

    Actually, it's far from pointless ;) it's 50 points.

    There's ALWAYS worse things in the world going on. You might as well say stop all gambling and give it to charity etc. To link in world troubles with a freeroll is lunacy!
