In Response to Re: I am rather annoyed.. : Ha! Hi rainman, I doubt it, but if I am, I will let you know. I will definitely play it one afternoon this week - probably Friday - & I'll try & give you plenty of notice, & make a little noise. Went rather wll last time, as I recall. Probably the last Tourney I cashed in, too....... Posted by Tikay10
In Response to Re: I am rather annoyed.. : I think he has had a proper reply now, & I agree that if the Lobby never properly explained it was "Invite Only", which was not ideal, though that is none of my Business, & I'm sure the Suits will remind me of that. I doubt any other Poker Site takes as much time & trouble to explain stuff to it's regulars as Sky Poker, incidentally. Posted by Tikay10
I totally get why some people would give me a harsh reception, Afterall i am not so much of a regular and do not have a big bankroll and my first post here was to make a little complaint.
Thank you for the reply and that fact that you have said you will bring the description issue up has made me feel alot better.

Good afternoon and welcome.
The bolded parts are not the reason for that sort of reception. There are plenty of people on the forum who do not have a big bankroll and don't play regularly. The reason was there have been tons of posts on here as of late about freerolls and while your post was well though out and nicely put together, most are curt, sharp and plain rude. As a result a lot of people may not have given your OP the time and depth it deserved and put it in with the rest we have endured as of late. Many apologies for this and please stick around, the vast majority of people on the forum are exceptionally friendly and fun.
Best of luck at the tables and I look forward to more posts from you.
Let me just start out by saying i love sky poker and i also love the fact that you run regular freerolls. However i must say that i am rather annoyed at what has happened this evening with the £2500 sunday freeroll! Usually i have been able to enter it with no problems and i have never had an email from sky with regards to said freeroll. Last week i couldn't register for hours but then in the last hour i was able to register and if my memory is correct there were about 1000 or so entrants in the end. Tonight i have found myself unable to enter at any stage and the tournament started with about 150 people! Basically each person if they just sat out would get about £14 for doing nothing at all as it is a one hour timed tournament. This is simply ridiculous if you ask me... I can assure you that there were more than 150 people waiting to enter as we all have on previous sundays. I telephoned skypoker up and they said it was a "private invite" only gig. Could you simply not update the description to reflect such criteria? You used the same tourney name and description as last sundays freeroll making alot of us think we would be able to get in at some point. This is totally confusing one week allowing anyone in and the next "sorry its invite only". Atleast update the description and the name of the freeroll, I and a few of my fellow players have wasted over an hour or so this evening waiting to get in when we could have been playing poker! I would be interested to know what the criteria is to be invited to such a freeroll, I top up on a regular basis and play a few times a week and expect to be allowed in to the reular freerolls as do many other i have spoken to this evening. The fact is around 150 people had the chance to just sit there and make about £14 for nothing while im guessing a whole lot more of your customers were sitting there scratching their heads trying to enter. Please do not make it invite only again... 150 entrants seems like a failure to me if you balance it up with all the disgruntled customers expecting the usual freeroll. Please do chip in with your thoughts if you too were expecting to enter this sundays freeroll. Kind regards, Karl Posted by ukstorm
i totally agree with you us small stakes players should automatically be entered into these big cash freerolls just because we need a boost too our bankroll it is totally unfair that players who make sky £100s/£1000s a day in rake get in these. after all they really don,t deserve too get preferential treatment after risking so much of they,re own money(not free money we recieved through promotions too join the site!)
I,am with you if you want too take this too the gaming commision. And see if we can force sky too let us enter these big freerolls just because we feel we should be allowed too...
Also I think we are all due at least £1000 in compensation! And another 10000 points as well :@)(so we can enter all the freerolls sky has too offer)
On a serious note there are many players(most of which have been regular players on sky for years that have not been in any of these freerolls whatsoever.
So why do you think you are so special?
Except the fact the honeymoon period is over and there is no more freebies for you and put your hand in your pockets and pay too play like most others do!

well said tommy,
and may i apologise karl for my sarcastic reply to your China comment. I'm the "he's been to China" guy around here and i couldn't resist. I think my post was well balanced in the whole, but that comment of mine was unneccesary. please accept my unequivocal apology
