sky poker points

scrumdown

i know u do your freerolls for 10 points to enter but that dont use all your poker points up u get over the year. How about having freerolls for say 1000 poker points freerolls to to get into night main event so players can use them up. other wise they have no chance of using them up. Other sites do it why can't sky.

Do “ Other sites” pay you for your points weekly, then reward you again by putting on a free roll for using the same points to get into their main events?

Come on Scrumdown, Have you no patience at all?-- we have only had thousands of poker points for 8 years-- probably won't happen today, or tomorrow either, but all the indications are there that an idea is just around the corner.

Hi Scrum,

The people responding are good guys, but the question has been asked, & addressed, many many times before on the Forum, so yes, the replies are not always what you would wish.

Let me try & explain again the misunderstanding. (More follows).

You have already used them, Scrum.

Firstly, other sites pay "rakeback" (what Sky call "Sky Poker Rewards") MONTHLY. Sky Poker pay them WEEKLY. So You get them more quickly here.

The amount you get THE NEXT WEEK are shown here;

https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby/poker-promotions/sky-poker-rewards

The payment varies - it's any one, or a combination of, nothing (for less than 50 points), Tokens, the right to enter £5,000 worth of Freerolls, & cash. You get all those the week after you earn them.

And THATS IT. You don't have any points left. You have been PAID. You only get paid ONCE.

Really, Sky Poker should remove those "dead", valueless points from your account, but for a variety of reasons, they don't.

So you might have, say, a million points showing on your account, but they are worthless - because you have already been paid for them.

Does that make sense now?

PS - HNY.

When you enter the nightly REWARDS FREEROLLs how many points do Sky Poker charge you?

The answer is NIL. They don't "charge you" or deduct them from your account.

But by earning X points the previous week, it gives you the right to enter those Freerolls. Forget being charged points - you are not "charged" as such, but earning them means you get to enter the nightly Rewards Freerolls, receive Tokens &/or cash.

There is nothing "to use up". You have used them up already. There is ZERO residual value after the following week.

Comparing it with other sites does not work - they do it differently. But other sites pay monthly in arrears, Sky Poker pay WEEKLY in arrears.

Here's a Freeroll for a £220 seat, Scrum - but it does not charge you ANY points to enter. None.

Brrrrrrr

Very well explained Tikay but I do wonder why Sky can't just remove the worthless points off our accounts to avoid these threads cropping up every now and again?

It's a fair point, Pete, it's just due to some software anomaly I think.
