If Sky decide to aim this at players who haven't played on the site for a while who are we to argue? They give out £100,000's a year in promotions aimed at a wide range of players. Posted by Snuffer
You cant just do promotion for lapsed players out in the public domain.
These guys have £0 value, im worth thousands to sky annually, if sky are running a £10k freeroll i think we're allowed to know why, or who its for...
It says for players who earnt 100 points in the past month..its clearly not.
This is just a slightly different spin on the 'how-do-I-get-into-this-freeroll?' line, surely? ...and we all know what we do to those posters Posted by Slipwater
Errr..no.
This is slightly different to your standard freeroll, its mis-marketed and theres no explaination behind it.
All im asking is for sky to explain what the freeroll is for and who its targetted at?

To be fair, if you're playing / paying Sky thousands irrespective of bonus freerolls, then what incentive is there for Sky to put out bait to make you play?
Getting part-timers to deposit fresh funds (for a freeroll) sounds like a sound marketing ploy.
Plus it can only make the tables more fun to have all the recs flooding back to earn their 100pts
In Response to Re: Club 100 Freeroll : Which brings me back to my initial point of why the **** are they running a £10,000 freeroll, targetted solely to players who are 1) INACTIVE 2) £0 VALUE 3) FREEROLL BUM HUNTERS No seriously, i want to know? When i was a VIP i got no such treatment..whats going on? Posted by alex1229
Why should sky be coming onto the forum to explain their marketing strategy? You may want to know but I don't see what right you have to know.

Couple of points on this post.
Firstly you do not know the criteria for this freeroll or its reasoning. This is pure speculation on your part and frankly illogical. You do not even know if this is a sky poker freeroll or from an outside source.
Secondly you me and everyone else has exactly zero rights to be told about the ins and outs of any business decisions made by any company.
In Response to Re: Club 100 Freeroll : I dont care about getting in, i just would like someone from sky to say what it is? ive never seen a 10k freeroll on here, so just curious? especially as all the entrants seem to carry £0 value. Posted by alex1229
Hi Alex,
As you know, I try hard to be a bit of a bridge between the Business & the players, & explain stuff from time to time which may not initially seem obvious to the players as to why they do, or don't do, various things.
However, the Business is not a Government agency spending public money, & they don't have to explain how they run their business to me or anyone else. It may be commercially sensitive too.
Personally, I don't know the reason, & on this occasion I don't intend to ask them, as I fear they may say to me "it's none of your Business Tony". They would never use such a phrase to Clients, obv, but that'd be the gist of it.
They may choose to answer your question, I really don't know, but on this occasion, I can't help, sorry.

Hey Tikay
Thats totally fine, wouldnt want you to go out your way on this one - Its just bit of a weird thing, £10K set aside for a bunch of inactives/players who solely play freerolls - seems a bit of a slap in the face to the rest of us regular players..clearly others dont agree haha.

I understand, I do, honest, although the fixation on the matter sort of interests me.
Many years ago - 30 or so - I was in a job, sat plum next to another guy who did the very same job.
We were mates, in & out of work, & sort of ran together.
As it happens, & not to seem arrogant, but I worked harder than him, got better results, & so I got a pay rise, & he did not. He found out somehow & got all uppity with me, & our friendship ended due to his miffedness.
On a similar vein, my Dad once told me "son, never look through your girlfriends handbag, you might find stuff that upsets you, best not to look really".

You don't know who has been selected and why, you have decided that they are "a bunch of inactives/players who solely play freerolls". Perhaps they are players that used to play here that regs would like to come back to the site and would help liquidity on the site?

Erm its pretty obveous..a quick search of the players tells everything - none of them have played since May, and theyre pretty much worthless, only coming back for freerolls.
These guys were never regs, they come for the freeroll, then dissappear again till they get another offer like this to bring them back, aside from that a promotion purely for lapsed players, should never be made visiable to actives

There are several conclusions possible with that information and you are determined to not look past what you have decided to be the truth.
Another possible conclusion is the one that i have mentioned twice already on this thread which doesnt give you the righteous indignation so you have ignored.

Im not here to debate this with people, i purely would have liked sky to have said what its about? Whats the difficulty with that
Kinda puts me off paying £100 for the 'Super Rolla' when a bunch of lapsed players are getting somthing a lot better for free.
Moral of the story, dont play for 6 months and wait for an invite to play in this 'club 100' tourny

Sometimes it's best not to know.
