    just read the trial set-up for the freerolls! Excellent idea but does this mean sky have been holding back on prize money? or will these improved amounts be made up from other tounys prizes?

    totally agree with u jimmy, u collect shed loads of points and cannot do anything wiv them. 
    i isnt really worthwhile wasting 2-3 hrs for high limit players for a small prize pool.
    Sky poker should do one freeroll for a 1000 point buyin at the end of the month with a prize pool of £1000. 
    u could cut maybe one of ur daily £20 freerolls to raise the funds. 
    u could even sell some skypoker merchandise like at FTOP or stars

    I think you're all right people. There should be more freerolls on this site.Your poker points just seem to accumilate because most of us cant be bothered to use a small amount of points to use in the £20 freeroll.

    SORT IT OUT SKY. GIVE SOMETHING BACK TO US THE POKER PLAYERS WHO USE YOUR SITE.

    Have recently just joined sky poker, to be honest not a bad site at all. I do agree with you all, there should be higher paid freerolls and i think (Sky des) has done a good job in giving you most of your demands lol (; i do also think we should get some promo gear lots of sites do it and a... smart card protecter or a pack of cards would be ideal for all the money we loose at the cash tables lol. PKR do very nice hoodies with there name in the corner on and you can buy them for collecting points of the cash games. i am not saying you need to have things to buy like mini's and plazma tele's and that, lol like alot of sites do, because i understand your not as big as them sites at the mo no disrespect intended. But over all not a bad site (:

    Hi,
    I have just added a points sat to tonight's Penguin Bootcamp Qualifier which is 500 points to enter with 1 in 5 qualifying....

    It is in the lobby now and starts at 3pm. Burn up some of your points and have a bit of fun....

    All the best,

    Bernie

    i don't think they'll raise the amount back up, but they should do a freeroll satelitte in to one of the big tournaments like the five 00 or £15k. maybe 1 in 8 satelitte in?

    that way, you'll at least have a chance at the big money...

     i think the advent of new freerolls is a good idea 
     there has been a culture not only from sky but
     other poker sites 2 blind u that there giving u a chance
     2 win free money we're as u put money in and play and
     earn poker points then if u play freeroll u have 2 use said
     poker points so in effect nothing for free come on we're
     not mugs

    I think there are only 4 regular freerolls (£20 prizepool) throughout the day and the weekly £250 prizepool on a wednesday, shoulnt there be alot more freerolls for us loyal skypoker users? What does everybody think?...
    Posted by Jimmy8
     y should u accrue points 2 play in a free roll
     when the whole point of free-roll is 2 give 
     something back 2 players for there loyalty
     the show 2 the site instead of greedy poker
     sites taking a percent of the rake and not paying
     a lot for freerolls £40 a day is'nt a lot if u look
     at the amount thats taken in

    I used to play on one site where you could cash in your poker points against poker merchandice, such as shirts, poker sets, cups etc.... 

    Maybe skypoker could do something similar, if nothing else they might get even more people joining after someone see's me walking around with a skypoker shirt or drinking out of a skypoker mug at work.

    I would like to see some larger freerolls though... always a nightmare playing for 2hours only to walk away with 18pence in prize money having eliminated 700 people... maybe link it to the number of players that want to play so its guarenteed at £20 for 200 players but if you get the full 1500 then its a prize pool of £500.  Just a thought
