    i think the better option on the free rolls, would be to cut the cash out. rather than say top 60 reduce to top 10..... the freerolls can be like bingo to start with.. it would reward the players who PLAY poker rather that 2 7 all in type of players

    fella 666, thats the way to go, good ideas on all fronts, i totally agree with all ur ideas and suggestions.  too add to what u have stated, prehaps there is to many paid places at the lower end of the payouts and there should be a minimum of say 15pence and ajust the payments @ 5p increments and cut the paid places accordingly

    There is lots of good feedback here everyone.  I will be discussing this topic with our marketing and tournament people to see what can be done for you.  Give us a little time to get back as this is right in the middle of holiday season, but we'll try and find a way to offer you some more value.

    I would like the Skybet staff to become Christians to assure us people that worry;
    that there is no need to worry, otherwise they would have (know about) reason to
    worry.  They've removed my chat facility for inappropriate language, but i feel
    their casino is inappropriately as tight as a ducks bum and the poker is often
    monsters vs monsters as if they need the tourneys to end sooner. The final
    straw - for them not me, was for calling someone a "nob" for trying to tell me
    someone else won the darts, and not the dude i bet on (who won) and they
    didnt bother to pay me.  erm, im not sure if saying nice things about them
    can improve anyones luck...but i want to warn as many people as possible
    that this site is rubbish and its run by rubbish seemingly...

    Now i play on Skybet only, i leave the other sections because i dont think they
    like me and enjoy me losing.
    GLA and all the best

    ps. sorry to repeat this if u already read it elsewhere...
    pps. in answer to this topics question, i think that after your free 500pts have
    all gone, find a decent online poker site to play at.  This obviously excludes
    Skypoker!

    Hi Jimmy.  The added time question was under discussion in another thread and it's largely the fact that we look to get the Open finished within the 3 hour TV schedule that determines the amount of time given to players.  Good decison, bad decision, what do you think?

    I think that this is a reasonable decision and personally I like the ammount of time givien however for larger bets (percentage wise to the total chip stack) it would be great to have a option for extra time that gets higher and higher the larger the bet (particuarly useful in tourney play). Just something to think about but a very admirable feature that other sites use but naturally Sky Poker is still the best!

    haha too true JPDERRY! 5p for an hours graft not worth it. How many points does everyone actually have saved up then? Grimstar30? Gills? Are we talking thousands?

    I started playing poker only three weeks ago and I enjoy playing the freerolls.  However, I agree with most of the suggestions put forward for improving the prize structure and tournament frequency.  Doubling the prize money on all freerolls, but reducing the number of winning places to, say, 25, would make the time and mental effort spent playing more rewarding. 

    I'd also like to see the last freeroll moved forward to around 10.30 or 11.00, or at least another one added at this time.  I work from 8.00am to 6pm, so by the time I get home I can just catch the 7.00pm game, but the midnight tournament is too late for me I'm afraid!  The Wednesday night 'big one' is just nicely timed.

    Incidentally, I totally agree with Edkent123.  The early stages of a freeroll are a lottery at times with the 2-7 all-in players.  Although they're usually easy to see off, I much prefer the more thoughtful type.

    i would like to see a once a mounth freeroll that top 3 go into a [eg]bh/sat/vol/ and so on
  • edited June 2009
    As i won the old £1000 freeroll it was worth my while as i got £200.00 for coming 1st out of 893 players ! But now the Wednesday night one is only £60 for 1st and is hardly worth the effort!Bring back the £1000 freeroll and i'm sure everyone will agree!

    I think 4 freerolls in one day is enough. I would like to see something else to use the points, for example, entry into sit n gos and tournaments.  cheers Piva
