Also, if I was to get a payment (which it now appears that I won't), why would I want to get four small weekly payments rather than one more useful monthly payment?
I guess a few clamoured for weekly payments but I bet the majority are more than happy with a monthly payment.
so from now on if in a week u make 499 points that is really us losing £2.79 in cash for points every week
Which i suppose is where some of the £5000 for the weekly freerolls is coming from.
Really can,t see how this improves things for the many seems more like take from the many and give too the few!
As for the freerolls with added prizes i and i think there are many others would much rather have our normal points payment which we have played over the month too earn instead of having too sit and try spend another 3hours or so every night just too try make up the difference in these freerolls.
Just cant see how this is going too work out better for the majority.

I cant get particularly excited about different RB systems. Can you just confirm that the system will be the same for all players and there wont be any different RB deals for new players as whilst against the rules this encourages players to open a 2nd account in order to gain the extra RB.

Not much point in busting a gut once you have reached 101 points, you will get the same reward as someone with 499.
Two things to point out about the £2.20 tokens (which is the realm many will fall into):
1. It's a bit naughty giving a £2.20 tournament token instead of £2.20. Only £2 of the £2.20 actually goes into the prize pool, so it's raked twice.
2. The £2.20 tokens need to be cumulative. I want to be able to use 10 of them to enter a £22 MTT rather than have to play 10 smaller tournaments. Are they?

Good points sir
Why can't the £2.20 tokens be used for x2 £1.10 tournaments (like the PLO8 ones i play).

Excellent point Craig. BTW, I will be asking SP if these tokens can be used in the Sky shop or the Forum Bar. All drinks will obv be priced at £2.20 now.

They won't be cumulative if they are the same as one I've had in the past. The first tournie you enter after it has been credited the token will be used.
just to clarify so if u make priority u stil get the weekly rakeback for your points plus the 10% at the end of the month so will stilll add upto around 20%?? which is obviously still incredibly low compred to other pokersites for that type of volume.

If you are playing on sky for the RB you are doing something wrong
I'm going to miss the couple of quid I get most months, but it's not the end of the world for me. Others are going to be affected much more.
One idea, perhaps vary the format of the freerolls (and even maybe the timing), so one is a turbo, one is a more relaxed structure, one a BH, one Omaha and one Omaha High-Low each week.

Oh and can the "tokens" be used in SnG's??

Rather have the cash to do as i want with it.
Probably be playing less now :-(
