I dont have any official news, but a punting friend of mine said he was having trouble logging in, & Sky Bet Tweeted this an hour ago, which again suggests a SB&G wide issue.
"We are experiencing technical issues on site & app. We are very sorry for the inconvenience & are working hard to fix the issues asap" Sorry I can't assist further.
There are times when I find all this a bit confusing..... LIKE RIGHT NOW!!!
Was playing a 300bh when todays issue started, pretty obvious something was up as two players with big stacks suddenly disappear, then another...... then mine freezes.... ok not gonna get my a..e in my hands over it so contact sky on the phone and yes we are aware of it, it started between 1pm and twenty past..... we will do the same as before so not to worry. That's fine, off I trudge to the shops, when I get back I try again to log in and up it pop's.... in my account there's a few extra quid... great I think and I pull the lobby up to see what the outcome was and........ hold on a **** minute they are playing the final table!!!!!!
There are guys who had s..g all chips when it crashed playing the final table!!!!
Lets just recap the time line on this....
ACCORDING TO SKY THE ISSUE STARTED BETWEEN 1PM AND 1.20PM
I CONTACTED THEM AT 2.30PM 20 MINUTES AFTER MINE CRASHED 3 PEOPLE ON THE TABLE HAD ALREADY BEEN DISCONNECTED
I LOG BACK IN AT 15.30PM AND THEY ARE PLAYING THE FINAL TABLE...
I'm at a loss to understand how sky can let this game run for two hours so people who had no chips have been just sit there taking chips off people who are disconnected and end up on the final table!!!!! Come on guys what's that about?
These issues are obv affecting the whole industry. I've just read that the DTD site on Ipoker had severe issues last night, and are giving refunds etc, and I couldn't log on to Paddy Power yesterday afternoon.

Then there's the X-Box/Playstation issues too... Those North Koreans have been very busy. Posted by joesman1
Hi Neil
Yeah, there were issues galore right across the web yesterday, DTD, PP & many others were affected.
X-Box has been intermittently unavailable for best part of 48 hours, I gather.
I'm really interested in the psychology of internet users, (me included, lol) so I went onto one of those X-Box Gaming Forums. Sheesh, there were murders going off. Think there are 48 million registered X-Box users on Microsoft, so you can imagine the noise they were making.
You should have had a good day punting though - 5 out of 6 jollies got home at Kempton, & 15 of the top 18 "Best Backed" Football matches went the way of the jollies. Interesting day, one way & another......
Those poor folks trying to get to or from Kings Cross are having a tough time, too, & people got stranded overnight in the snow in Yorkshire.
The different ways we all deal with varying levels of adversity is such a fascinating topic.
Had problems registering and with auto top up today but the problems seem irregular and temporary. Anyone else? Looking forward to UKOPS. Posted by jimb0d1
Had problems with every game I've tried to reg for this morning, keeps timing out, takes two or three attempts before I'm able to register which is a new one not a problem I've had before..........

Seasonal greetings.... Nah, I think I'm the only punter who lost yesterday. Everton 'did me' in one footy bet. Watford in another. Wasn't keen on the King George fav. Instead I'd had several ew bets on Champagne Fever the past few weeks, and like all ew bets, finished 4th.
Need one of Venetia Williams's pair to win today's National to make up for it. I actually prefer her outsider (on ew @ 40/1)

Or even better, open accounts with all the major sites and clean up on the new account bonuses.
