    Super Sunday begins in less than 7 hours, at Midnight tonight.

    Action commences at Midnight with the first of 24 Freerolls. one per hour, on the hour, all named after Las Vegas Hotels. First up, Bellagio. Each of the 24 Freerolls carries a prize pool valued at £250, so that's £6,000 in total. 
     
    There is NO registration fee, & you do not need ANY points to enter.

    You've played 336 games on Sky since 27/5/16. That averages at less than a game a day over a 12 month period. Yet you seem to want Sky to give you the world with very little effort on your part.

    I think 70 points in a week is actually pretty low and Sky could easily have put the entry criteria higher. So instead of having a go saying you're overlooked (which you're not as there is loads of stuff going on that day), maybe be appreciative that the benchmark is pretty low and achievable for a big number of players who play their poker here.

    You seem to want something for nothing, which is typical of many poker players, but it doesn't work like that and with good reason.

    You need to remember sky is a business, they are not putting this 10 year celebration on out of the goodness of their hearts, the promo is running to: 
    1) attract new players to the site 
    2) encourage existing players to play more
    3) encourage inactive players to become active

    The £250 free rolls are there partly to give new players (and old) plenty of chances at free cash, the idea being that if you won a few quid you might go on to deposit and / or become active on the site regularly
    If they opened up the bigger freeroll to all then existing players have no incentive to play more, as said earlier the bar has been set pretty low.

    Good evening Shilo.
    As a low stakes player like yourself, i play some 28p dyms and always manage to reach at least 100 to 150 pts per week.
    All the best.
