    Played 50 MTTs at £5 and under buy in stretching back 10 years?

    My Gran could probably enter under that criteria, and she's been dead for years.

    super sunday requires 70 point between now and then(10 points per day- it says so in the blurb :-)) for a massive freeroll and there are also 24 freerolls with no points requirements, what more do you actually want?

    So we are really asking why there are not nice 'rewards' for people who are paying around £2.50 per year in rake?

    The roads are obvious, goes without saying.

    Back to the original question.

    The £5k freeroll on Sunday just needs 70 points to qualify.

    You could achieve that by playing 70 28p Sit n Gos, 10 a day.

    So you need to stake £19.60 and it should be pretty near impossible to lose 70 DYMs. You might lose a little, break even or even win some.

    In addition to the freeroll you would also qualify for a £2.30 tournament token (by getting 50+points).

    You also have a whole week to achieve this.

    Promotional money is there to attract new players, get existing players playing more, or to get former players to return.

    The balance varies with different promotions but if it does none of the above it is pretty poor business for the site.

    If all promotions were shared out among regulars then that would not be good for business. Equally if promotions encouraged people to come back to sky just for a lucrative freeroll and then disappear again without depositing or playing any other games that would not be good for business either.

    No mention of the 24 £250 freerolls the same day that you can enter for absolutely nothing. The rewards here for micro stakes players are better than any other site.

    You seem a tad obsessed with me and my posts.

    It's flattering, and I like the way you try to make me appear silly yet always, without fail, end up looking like a tool yourself, but I don't see how its bad for the forum? Is your post good for the forum?

    Perhaps you can be good enough to elaborate, and I look forward to your well articulated answer.

    Guy above me ^^^ hits the nail on the head.

    Give small stakes players footballers wages.

    But yeah on a serious note I just looked at the freeroll qualification route and i can't see how anyone can complain. To attain 70 points in 7 days is very easy, and as Phantom66 explained, can be done by a very low variance method via DYMs.  Think I'll be registering for the freeroll as its a lot of money for nothing.

    Also I have it on good authority that hhyfr..'s Gran absolutley BEASTS the UKOPS series.
