Have to agree with aces here was thinking exactly the same thing. The great thing about the sky promos was that they were interesting and beneficial to everyone if u put the time in. As aces said 20% rake back is pretty pitiful for those who make priority when u consider the amount of rake at least £1700 that each person generates. I'd only imagine that only 10-15 players if that make it to the 25%+ bracket. Hence the promotions generally hive us an opportunity to try to increase our rake back by an extra 10-20% which falls more all line with competitors. As a regular this is a pretty bad promotion for me and I'm sure aces aswell potentially going through a lot of effort to win £66 doesn't sound particularly appealing. I can understand aiming promotions at losing players though makes a lot of sense however this promotion is far too complicated. Something much simpler could have been thought up I'm sure. Don't really think it's appropriate for TK to respond like that to just general insults. It's not our fault if sky's processes aren't good enough to cope or their understaffed. It's not like sky don't have enough money to make it easier for their staff is it Posted by pilezitin
Hi pilez,
My post was wholly polite & respectful, & I thought it was worth making the point. I responded to a post which insulted others, & I can't see any reason, even if the Promos are bad, to insult staff who are not permitted to defend themselves, or individuals who we may think are less intelligent or gifted.
I guess it comes down to wherther we think rudeness & insults are appropriate in these situations. I don't, others do.
My reply to Ben was wholly polite, & so I don't see how it was inappropriate.

Agree with you 100% Tikay. Working in a customer facing retail role it astounds me more and more everyday how rude and impatient people have become. It is often, sadly, the people who have no control over situations who take the majority of the abuse from ill-tempered, misinformed members of the public. As far as I am aware politeness is still the best way to get what you want.
It's Back Super6 for the world cup ;') If you played last season I've re-opened the league so you should be in there automatically, for the rest of you use the link below.

Soccer Saturday Sky Sports Super 6 - It's free to join and play! Correctly predict the scores of 6 Brazil World Cup football games for your chance to win £100,000 each round.
T&C suggest it isnt over lifetime, but over each weekly period, perhaps someone from sky could clear this up? 4. 1 day played means that you played on Sky Poker and generated at least .01 in rake/fees. 5. Ex. Player A has Net Deposits of £200 from June 2 - June 8 and plays on Sky Poker on 3 separate days during the same week and generates at least .01 in Rake/Fees on those days. This player will earn 3 entries into the Deposit 66 Prize Draw. 6. Every Monday during the promotional period there will be 66 winners drawn at random and credited with £66. A SMS message will be sent to all the winners each week notifying them of their cash prize. Posted by ACEGOONER
At least the World Cup Freerolls look a lot easier to understand and seems quite a simple concept. Personally i like the idea of this promo and looking forward to playing some of them
EDIT : With regards to the other promo for spotting the A966 . Does anyone know what the odds are of this coming down? (or roughly). Thx
As i,m sure like myself some ppl won,t have a mobile number registered with Sky or it would have changed since they signed up so will the winners of the "Deposit 66" be posted on the forum and if so where ?
• Every Monday starting from June 9th there will be 66 eligible customers drawn at random and credited with £66.
• A SMS message will be sent to all the winners every Monday.
Apologies that we have not answered some of the questions on this site. Hopefully I now have answers to the questions that you have left.
1. Regardless of whether you are a long term winner on the site you can play. This promotion is for everybody not just those that have deposited more than they have withdrawn. The stipulation for this promotion is that you have to plae £66 cumulative net deposits within the promtional period and generate at least 1p rake.
2. You can win more than once in a day or over the period of the promotion. (We will edit the promo page to make this obvious)
3. Even if you don't have a mobile number with us you can win. There is not a list of winners onsite as we hold the user ID for winners and cannot publish these onsite. If you don't have a mobile number registered with us you would just the update of the balance in your account. Feel free however to add a mobile number to your account.
Once again apologies it has taken this long to answer the questions. If you do have anymore leave them on here and I will get the answers.
Right Guys last day to get in my World Cup Super 6 comp with some great Sky Poker seats up for grabs wouldn't want anyone to miss out ;') Join the league now: http://super6.skysports.com/league/33WDQ4

well i think this months promo is good, the rewards are going to the right players and as for the RB system i also think that is fine, players suggesting us priority should get 50% rakeback is ludicrous Posted by sikas
not bothered with the promos this month think both are pretty rubbish just my opinion.
more worried by the false truths printed on here i.e

I hate this promotion for no reason other than my place of birth.
Maybe next month the winning board can be "A3A4"?
