I don't mind if all rakeback grinders go elsewhere
Does make you wonder how much of the cut to c4p has gone to RTR players and not too the lowly rec <500 point players.
I am all for taking a cut in rakeback to feed the bottom of the ladder but seriously it does seem a bit skewed.
Funny how to attract new players you either say ok have lots of % rakeback or just a little cause it's more than what you was getting before. Bit weird on one hand you discourage heavy rakeback grinders by lowering the rewards but on the other hand hand out a large % to RTR players to encourage heavy rakeback grinders to the site. You see how I think it's a bit skewed in favour of new customers. But Sky would say we should be thankful cause they are trying to bring in new players via these two routes. Well make your mind up, are you trying to attract new players at the bottom of the ladder <500 points or high rakeback grinders.
I think every reg would welcome the addition of new blood but not high rakeback grinders. So I fail to see how we as regs are so much better off under the new rewards system. I see new names appearing but these ain't new recs, they are grinders. Hopefully time we tell over the next two months, we will see if it's worked or not.
I don't blame DTM if he goes and plays eleswhere if the cut in rakeback is £5k a year. I doubt everyone would be a bit upset with a £5k a year pay cut and would probably seek work elsewhere.
hey guys , im reasonably new to skypoker , iv had an account for a while but this is my first month iv put in any kind of volume , im currently around 7300 points but have now got a bit bored because i know for a fact i cannot compete for a top10 place in the promo going on , but i would like to know if it would benefit me to secure 10,000 points for 20% rakeback , is there going to be a major difference in payout by staying below 10k or going over 10k is my question ?

If you get 10k points you make priority club. Details are in the promotions page, link is below

roughly speaking above 5000 but below 10,000 is 12% and 10,000 and above is 20% rakeback
once you reach 10,000 the amount of rakeback you then receive will be based on if you played cash or MTT/SNG's cash = 6 points for every £1 in rake MTT/SMG's=10 points for every £1 in rake
so say you get 11,000 100% cash would be £366 100% SNG/MTT would be £220 50/50 would be £293
If it's under 10k then you can work out exactly what you'll get from the Sky Rewards promo page and game choice is irrelevant.
Over 10k....
If you play cash games, divide your points by 7 (to allow for some happy hours), that's how many £ rake you've paid and you get 20% sooo 10k points / 7 = £1428 rake paid so you get about £285
If you play SnG/MTTs, divide your points by 10, that's how many £ rake you've paid and you get 20% sooo 10k / 10 = £1000 rake paid so you get £200 back.
If you play a mixture... well gl working it out lol. Just weight your calcs more towards the game you play most of as per above.

well i have played mainly SNG with a few short sessions with cash along with just a few MTTs , so i guess i am looking aroung the £230-£240 kind of payout which i guess is not that great really , i guess i will see it through now though to hopefully secure a PS4 freeroll seat but cannot see me putting in high volume in future months as im not a cash game player which it only seems to benefit .

Benefits SNG/MTT players upto 10,000 you get more points for your £1
/>10,000 your getting 20% on rake you have contributed So when cash players have to contribute more £'s to get more points, that's why they get more rakeback cause it's based on % once you pass 10,000 points.
so it's swings and roundabouts
it's a fair system but actually is biased towards SNG/MTT players before you get to 10,000
great incentive imo to play SNG/MTT's up to 10,000
you got to remember that if you playing cash below 10,000 you have to pay more in rake to acheive the same points as an SNG/MTT player.
