    Question

    If you were earning thousands of points a month would it be worth entering a £20 GTD free roll possibly spending 3 hours until completion?

    That's what I find puzzling apart from priority club for those earning 10k points a month, there is nothing in between worth taking part in

    I have just looked and I have 44k points . But for what? I have to agree with previous posters who said they are pointless.. Would be much better to have a cashout option.

    So sky should reward us twice for the same points ?

    i think sky is good they reward you for playing. they have good promotions and a good community . i love this site . thats out of the way . the free rolls i will have a gripe about now i think they should be structured different . so it rewards good play . it wouldnt hurt to have blind limits say 5 mins and get rid of 12p pay outs etc u cant even play a game for 12 p lol now i think its all fair with actually playing and earning points to gain entry to freerolls as ten points isnt alot of money to gain entry . what about the players who maybe put 50 or 100 pound in and gain say 300 or more points in a weekend then go skint and cant gain entry to said free roll cause u have to have played in the last 24 hours. some only put in once a week and cant afford to put in every day.  i think its should be changed from 24 hours to what u earned in past week and structure the tourneys better to reward good play.  get rid of prizes less than 1 pound .  maybe have a once a week freerroll for people that earned more points with say a main event and cash bonus for the winner just a suggestion . sorry for grammar and im not moaning just putting out a sugestion that might improve the site . thanks for reading this

    No once..an option to use the points for free entry into the 50p rebuy/add on tourns.(current situation). or an option to cash them out for their equivalent cash value.

    Seriously every month when you get you c4ps payment that is you basically cashing out the points is it not? 

    So no matter how many you have does not matter as you have already been payed for them so there is no value in them anyway

    Sky should just remove them every month when they credit cash for points payments...think thats what used too happen.

    If that is the case, then yes they should delete them.. Otherwise people might percieve them to be worth something, like on other sites where you receive a rakeback payment AND you build up points which can either be spent on goods, used for real money tournament buy ins or cashed out as well as rakeback, not instead of.
    The point system does at first glance appear to mimick the system used on other sites like p/stars but on here the points are meaningless. 
    In my opinion it is mis leading.

    Hi churchy
    think you are getting mixrd up with poker reward points ,ie getting money back for each £100 you play and poker points,ie gettibg 5 /10 20 points for getting placed in a tournamount.these points sre useless unless you use them in the next 24 hours which i dont think is fair if you cant play the next night.
    Just trying to say that the poker point system in my opinion is flawed.
