In Response to Re: New Sky Poker Rewards : Come on harry. I think these grumbles are well warranted on this occasion. No, it's not a crisis, but it is certainly an example of poor customer service. People are well within their rights to air any grievances on here. Just because something doesn't bother you it doesn't have to mean that it shouldn't bother anyone else. Hope you had a good time in Vegas btw Posted by waller02
Yeah, its poor on Sky's part that the new rewards promo stuff hasn't been set up correctly. But it does amuse me when people use words like ''victim'' and ''fiasco''.
There is some truly awful stuff going on in the world, perspective. I'll leave it at that.
Good time, thanks. Was looking into going on a 6 month round the world cruise next, but don't wanna miss out on my 2 quid MTT token so soon scratched that idea.

Yeah agree with you there, but it certainly is annoying, a bit like you, but I still talk to you so I will still continue to play here too.
I originally didnt like the new rewards structure but now I like it more than C4p. I have already got a £2.30 token which is the same as cash for me as Im gonna use it for dyms. If I get a couple more of them it will result in £6 or £7 which I never achieved in C4p. On top of that if I cash in any of the freerolls thats extra, plus I get free entertainment for playing in a tournament that I can win cash in! This new promo is also helping me play more.....which is what sky wanted , this on top of Stuarty117s 1k challenge! Thanks Sky! Ger Posted by gerardirl
I am actually with you on this ger, i cashed 4 quid in the 1st free roll last night and although my token is gone by accident (im sure it will get sorted by next week) i got the 2 quid refunded. so instead of c4p where i woulda got 2-3 quid a month i am actually double that after week one...so yes when its sorted i i will agree 100% i think its going to be better for me personally
Relax everyone ....its ok!!! Crisis is over....i just found 50 pence on the ground......1/5th of the way there to being the equivalent of the £2.30 token
Now how much is this round the world trip thingie? hehe
Good luck in Vegas hyf, are you playing in the wsop?

Come on! No need for all these rubs, I'm back already
Bad trip, had to remove the elastic band from my wallet on numerous occasions.

Well i have been waiting on someone more literate than me saying this so please bear with me doing my best here(after all us jocks where brought up in the woods wiping our rrs with leaves and all that)
Will start with how this change affects me and i am sure this will probably affect many more like me as well.
I was making between 1200/2600 points for several months playing dym games ranging from £1.15-£5.50 and a few £11 games thrown in for good measure(not a great deal compared too some) but too me that is quite a bit of money and getting between £12-£26 is a big difference from £9.20(4x£2.30 tokens that straight away sky rake a minimum of 20% but on average it is more than that when you take into account people who use them in £2.20 /£2.25 games) especially over a year. was playing on average 30+ games 4 nights a week (would show points totals of previous months but funnily enough can't check previous months points totals now)
Why is it that the medium/low level players like me seem too be taking the hit more than the most profitable players on site?do they not make enough profit by being winning players on 30% rakeback(for life in most cases) which as has been said they will recieve weekly bonus payments as well as 30% rakeback at the end of the month too! as without people like me playing 30 games a night who will feed the bigger players?
As a player who plays 90% plo8 what good is a 1500 runner hold/em freeroll too me? And how is better than the points payment i used too receive?
And if the point needs proved check how many pl08 dyms run now compared too when tikay.macacgirl.and myself(not meaning that they filled just because i was playing) where on site pretty much every day/night used too take a few minutes too fill,
Now for a £5 dym you can wait 30 mins or more for it too fill.Before if u looked at running games there would be 5/6 or more as well as others waiting too fill, running pretty much from 5pm/11pm every night.
Where is the incentive for me too play as i used too it might not seem like much but when u are not a regular winning player those points payments over a year add up now what is the incentive for me too play the way i was no point in getting 400 points a week if you lose £2 a week yet people who play 4x£5 or 7x£3.30 games a night 5 days a week get a £2.30 token as well as entry too £5000 of freerolls yet people like me will lose more than half the points we gain for nothing!
Also after recent events what steps are sky taking too stop multi accounting? considering the fact a few weeks ago a person was caught blatantly multi accounting yet only 1 of the accounts are shut down and the other is freley playing on site??and the thread where other players were trying too show he was multi accounting was closed! and also seems like he has other accounts as well!
Then there is the case of a player who was removed from a promotion after winning something like 20 out of 20 heads up games back playing on site!
Also what measures are in place to recognise players signing up in a new name through rakeback sites for the 30% rakeback for life after all seen a few players comment on this?How many new players on rakeback deals since the start of june?
Why should i/others not do the same? after all i signed up too sky very green in the world of poker i did not even know about rake or rakeback sites then!
Or even if i don't make a new account on sky why should i stay here with probably the highest rake of any poker site when i can join several other sites with less rake and also sign up through 1 of the many rakeback sites?
Also we have been told this new rewards system will cost sky more! Really can't see how this is more no 4pm 5pm 6pm freerolls and then there is the £1-£2 a week from say 1000 players who hit 300/400+points a week but don'make the 500 points mark! so in effect are losing £1/£2 a week in rewards
Then there is 3 different freerolls for priority with 2 apple packages in each too 1st and 2nd fair enough(they deserve it....but why are they also allowed in the £1000 freerolls as well?think there was 100odd in the 10k freeroll 40 in the 20k freeroll and 10 in the 30k freeroll.....but the people who are losing the most in this points shake up are having too play v 1500 in the £1000 freerolls?
And thats without all the people using a £2.30 token on 30p games that they did not even know they where using them in.afterall we have all been told we can save them up but they are used as soon as you reg in a game no matter the cost of said game.
Whether people agree or not this is how i feel it affects me and I'am pretty sure there are several 100s in the same position.

In truth, for anyone that feels they are hit overly harshly with these changes, there are a wealth of alternative sites out there which would welcome your money and happily dangle the carrot of a new player deposit bonus if you moved across.
Loyalty to any single provider (not just poker) is almost never in the consumers best interest.
Same thing I find at work. Endless amounts of complaints when we do something with a negative impact on customers... yet almost all of them remain as customers still... I think most people enjoy having something to moan about too much to vote with their feet and move to competitors!
In Response to Re: New Sky Poker Rewards : This was an error where a player was manually entered. It was quickly noticed and resolved with the player de-registered. Posted by SkyPeter
I still dont understand how this can happen again !!
Who manually enters these people?
Funny thing that this player hasn't played in the previous 2 freerolls this week.
Also the guy i highlighted on Monday didnt actually play in the end.
I can only assume that they haven't earnt 50 points in the previous week.

Hi Vespa,
I can assure you the player who was entered yesterday was de-registered as was this player.
Both these players were added in due to a lack of communication which we are resolving and are aware of, therefore we are monitoring these freerolls for any abnormalities and will personally un-register any player that has been added in error.
We are currently resolving this lack of communication at the moment and this issue shouldn't arise again.

So this is how i currently stand. Just reached my 50 points for the freerolls. Do i carry on to 100 for the £2.30 token? Even with double points i dont think its worth it. Would need to play: x25 £1.15 DYM's = £3.75 rake. x12.5 £2.25 DYM's = £3.125 rake x8.33 £3.30 DYM's = £2.50 rake. x5 £5.50 DYM's = £2.50 rake. Posted by VespaPX
Mick, why not just play whatever you fancy and if you make 100 points then great, and if not then it doesn't really matter?
Yep I agree, if Im gonna play for 50 pts I'm not thinking its because Im gonna get a £2.30 token , but more the view am I being entertained enough for the cost of spending £50 of buy ins (obviously assuming Im gonna win some games along the way too!)

You only need another 50 points at double points wouldn't this reduce volume quoted?
4 points for £1.15's 6 for £2.25's £3.30 correct £5.50 correct.
