    2 quick reminders.


    1) It EXCLUDES Heads Up Cash Tables.


    2) It runs until 23.59 this Sunday. For your points to be paid next Monday, as payment for this week, you MUST "stand" from the Table before Midnight on Sunday. If you don't, the Double Points accrued will go into NEXT week, not this week. 

    As it happens, next week is also a "Double Points on Cash" week, so you'll still get the extra money, but you'll get it a week later.
     
    Clear as mud.

    Can you confirm whether or not this bonus stacks with the double points for starting games 1-3 handed (https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby/poker-promotions/jump-start?dcmp=p_pr_jumpstart)?

    Hi Tom,

    In a word, no.

    The T & C's for "Jump Start" explicitly state.....



    "5. Jump Start bonuses will not be awarded in conjunction with any other promotion and/or offer. Should a similar Promotion run simultaneously with Jump Start, only one type of boost will be awarded."

    See     HERE

    I would imagine the reason for this is that it would be so easily open to potential abuse.

    So no, no double double, just double. ;)

    Is there any real reason that heads up tables are not included?

    If it is double points on cash, should it be possible for the points "widget" to go up by a single point?

    Yes.

    In a situation where you earn 0.5 points, you will now earn 1 point.

    They all add up.

    Thanks didn't realise you could earn a fraction of a point in cash.

    More used to SNGs where minimum is 1 pt so you always have even points in double points promo weeks.

    Hi Chiggy,

    I've no idea why they are excluded, though I can think of a good reason or two why it might be.
     
    Don't see them changing their position on that one though. It's a decent Promo already, imo.

    No problem.

    Just thought about my response and was slightly worried that it sounded sarcastic. Wasn't intending for it to be at all!

    Hi,

    As far as I can see, you would get DOUBLE points, but not quadruple points, you can't "double double".

    The T & C for next week says......

    "Awarding double points for playing on Mobile, Sit and Go's, Cash tables and playing the outlined tournament guaranteed games stated above starts on Mon 25th Jan at 00:00:00 and finishes on Sun 31st Jan at 23:59:59 GMT"

    What if you played a Main Event on a mobile device? Double points and double guarantee?

    Double points on mobile was for cash only,  so as they are offering double points on cash anyway it makes playing on mobile for double points redundant.

    Not quite redundant - those that ONLY play on Mobile - & there are plenty - get the benefit.

    But wouldnt they benefit anyway if the mobile promo wasn't running that week as it's double points on cash also?

    Ahh, yes, sorry, I get your drift now.

    I'm assuming my interpretations in this thread are correct, I only have the same info to go on as you guys, but they have never previously allowed "double double".
     
    If I'm wrong, no doubt someone will mention it.
