wow don`t believe how many try to cheat, it`s a shame for some that felt had to play more to achieve more than say for example 64% because that would been good enough. Also myself I think finished on 61.5% but gave up because thought I needed 68%+ to get a place and left it kinda late sigh.
I think personally sky could have acted on the cheats sooner like as soon someone finished their min 50 games then checks should have been done but they did catch all the cheats by the end which i`m happy about because would have hated the right people that deserved to be in top 16 lose out so well done sky.
I think it was a great promo and would love see a similar one done in future and gl to the top 16 in the knockout stages vwp all.
I might think there's a fair chance of cheaters prospering in this competition but I would like to wish the best of luck to those who have got there entirely honestly, whom I'm sure are the majority.
Best way to stay under the radar, is to constantly post berating other players, who have cheated when you are at it yourself.
This DYM reg should be banned from sky indefinitely, if it is proven that they are infact a cheat. You couldn't make this up. As mentioned on this thread there are several players that continued playing when they didn't need to. I would be extremley peeved if i was them.
Good luck to all. Little bit gutted thought that it would be + 68% to get in had 65% then kept playing. Don't understand players who try and cheat!! Posted by TimmyRaRa
Arrrrrrggghhhhhhh. Same as me Timmy. So frustrating. Was on 66.25% after 54 games then kept getting going after seeing u wud need min 68%. Gr8 promo but a bit peeved now.
It's a shame that so many tried to cheat in what appeared to be a fantastic promotion on paper. That's poker players for you I suppose. Full credit to Sky for undertaking what must have been a lengthy and comprehensive examination of the results and acting firmly on their findings.
Good luck to the the 16 who made it on merit.
Maybe I'm stating the obvious here, but if a winning DYM reg has been disqualified for suspected collusion shouldn't his/her DYM results also come under scrutiny?
Apologies to all who pushed for a bigger % when ultimately they may not have needed to but an unforeseen amount of players failed fraud checks and were deemed in breach of the terms and conditions of the promo and had to be removed.

Are those players permanently banned from playing on Sky Dan?
We'll leave this thread open for now but please be careful with speculation and / or accusations. On this point, although some of the people that were removed from the leaderboard were so for breaking rules, this isn't necessarily the case for all of them. There are other reasons, but obviously we cannot discuss individual cases.
Therefore, do not make the assumption that someone who has been removed is a cheat as it may not be the case.
We are happy to have discussions on how to make this promotion better in the future, including stopping some of the things that happened last time but we ask that you post with consideration for the above and our regular forum rules.
Enjoy your weekend and best of luck to those who deservedly topped the table!

What other reasons for being removed are there then? (apart from breaking the rules?!)
Firstly want to say full credit to Dan and the fraud team. Must of been pretty time consuming to go through hand histories, games played etc for each player. I for one am glad they did and proved that whatever you want to call it, dosen't pay.
Secondly, I thought this was a great promo (I would say that), but seriously did feel like games were running more frequent and I certaintly played more games/days than I usually would. I know that Sky has asked for feedback so here go's...
A few years ago there use to be 'League Stars Freeroll' which was shown on SkyPoker TV which I use to really enjoy watching.
An idea for a permanent Promo could be to make the top 20 top players from 5 categories across the site eg HU STT's, 6 max STT's, MTT's played, cash hands won and top cash for points to compete in a freeroll once a month shown on 861? Instead of paying the Top 20 in each category anything just enter them into a freeroll where for example 50th-100th places get paid £25 then goes up in increments to £500 for 1st. This would surely reduce misgivings as wouldn't be GTD big return unless going far in the freeroll. Don't know what the Promo budget is, but hope it dosen't interfere with Tikays wardrope budget...Just an idea??
Yes well done sky great promo. Not for me personally as Im not a heads up player but for those who are this was a great promo and one that heads up players derserved. Nice to see Sky producing promos for different types of games.
Well done Del I will do my best to tune in and cheer you on!

Good luck to the the 16 who made it on merit.
