If it isn't someone asking for a password, it's someone else wanting something for nothing. I appreciate not everyone can afford to deposit on a poker site, thats fair enough. But it's not Sky's responsibility to provide these people with tournaments and potential bankrolls.
They don't have to stump up £500 every day as a freebie. Just think people should be more appreciative instead of always looking for a way to stick the boot in.
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. Posted by hhyftrftdr
This thread is soo lol, people who dont deposit on the site and have no intention of are throwing their toys out the pram.
+1 with the idea about giving the money to the disaster recovery fund. Send some of these moaners to fend for themselves in the phillipines. They wouldn't last a day.

this is what is wrong with our country always wanting too help others before our own..and before any1 starts yes i feel sorry for those caught up in that ,but if its was too go too charity what about help for heroes ,macmillan cancer research ,brittish heart foundation,cash for kids,marie curie cancer care ,and too many more too mention .we should worry about our own country and get that sorted before we try and help others.

How is this lol??
If you have lots of points stashed away(under the old c4p's system) maybe it is.But under the new you can only earn a max of 99.If you earn more and use them and don't keep enough it may show you have earned 'X' amount of points this month in you account but if total poker points at the top is below what is needed for rewards (c4p's) you will NOT receive the reward.
So HOW is this free loading?Playing real money games and at most being able to play 1 freeroll a month or don't receive bonus.

A bit xenophobic imo, its down to personal preference I guess. You dont have to give money to the fillipinos but its the major catastrophe happening in the world right now, so of course its going to get attention.

Ok so when you sign up to the site, you get 500 points right which can be used to play freerolls?
So why once you have used all these points should you have any right to play freerolls without using rewards points. To me that suggests that stuff the site, you want something for nothing. I know the word freeroll is very contentious but if it is such a big deal you can easily scour the internet for freerolls on other sites that dont require any deposits or points.
To me it seems like a good move, it thins the fields out and gives the players who use the site more an opportunity to win a few quid. Nothing wrong with that.
I love how wanting to help others is what is wrong with thr country. If our biggest fault is helping out then we've got a pretty great country. Ve proud of our charity mate, tis what makes britain great. And younknow what, not only will our government be one of the biggest providers of aid, but our charites will be one of the biggest providers of aid, and we as individuals will almost certainly match or exceed our governmemts donation out of our own pockets, even though times are hard pre-christmas. We should celebrate that, not be ashamed.
You can still use points even though you earn a bonus. Look in the my accounts tab.
I don't think it will be used by the people you suggest it will Acegooner. Most of those who play enough (and at a high enough stake) to earn enough points to play a 50 point freeroll daily aren't going to be interested to play a 1 hour timed freeroll to earn a couple of quid. The field, will, in my opinion be filled most of those who are just using their 500 free points when joining.
Either way, it's now really only open (on a regular basis) to those who play a huge amount or those who have never played. Those in the middle who could previously play it are now mostly unable to. Right or wrong, wouldn't you expect those players to at least register their disappointment without automatically being called moaners or whingers?

You seem to be under the misapprehension that you can use the points TWICE for rewards and freerolls this is not correct one or other,not both!!
A bit xenophobic imo, its down to personal preference I guess.
A bit xenophobic??? explain!!!
how many soldiers come home from defending our country and our rights,too find they can,t get a house? how many people are sleeping rough every night in Britain? how many children are living in poverty in Britain? how many people are suffering in this country? who can,t get medication that could help ease they,re pain and/or prolong they,re life's.but don,t get these treatments/medications as the government won,t pay the cost of these yet we are continuously giving away millions too help other countries! i could go on and on but as i said it is just my opinion.
so if me wanting my country too sort out its own problems before taking on other countries problems then yes i,am xenophobic...but i prefer too call my self a realist

any points you earn can be used at anytime it does not affect the c4p,s .you will still get the payment you have earned even if you have 0 points left at the end of the month as the bar tells you how much you have earned so far as soon as you hit 100 points that is £1 then every point after is 1p you can use the points as you earn

Fair point, but sky can never please everyone and once the new players have used up their points they are in the same boat as everyone else. The syndicate freeroll was much more value in my opinion and it didnt cost any points.

I just checked my account, I have 12198 poker points and just over 1000 rewards points. I was under the impression that if i entered this freeroll it would be deducted from my poker points and not rewards?

If a player earns 25637 points under the new c4p's system,25600 would need to be redeemed(taken by sky) for bonus leaving 37 points so levels don't really come into it.
From t's & c's
The relevant poker points will be deducted and converted to the nearest '100' at the lower tier, for example if a player earns 1489 points, 1400 points will be removed from the player's account.

You absolutely can use the points twice. Your reward points accrure on a month by , onth basis, and you cannot " spend" them on freeroll. Your widget/slide bar gets reset to zero each month but you will still have pointsin your account. Entering freerolls only affects the points in your account, not the monthly slidebar total that goes to rewards.

i only make about 1000 points a month on average and i use these as i go playing the points rolls not once have my points been taken by sky for my c4ps payment at present i have earned £5,60 so far this month and i only have 54 points left .and i get my cash reward every month.i don,t know if it is different for higher levels.if iam wrong sorry but iam only going by how it works with me

'Total poker points' near the top of your account goes up as you play through the month & is where you points are redeemed for c4p's and will go down accordingly.You need points there to be redeemed to earn c4p's.
Points eared this month is only that does not guarantee payment.

should we treat the site like a casino then where freerolls don't exsist.
