As you know, there are NO POINTS requirement to enter these - they are open to anyone who has an account with SB&G, whether they use Poker, Bet, Vegas, Casino, or Bingo.
So some entrants have, say, Bet or Vegas accounts but have never used Sky Poker. (Actually, none of us have Poker or Bet or Vegas accounts - we all have SB&G accounts).
An alias, or screen-name is not needed on, say, Bet or Casino. However, it IS needed on Sky Poker (&, I'm just guessing, perhaps Bingo?).
The alias is only created when first sitting at a Sky Poker table. So if they have never sat at a Sky Poker Table, they won't have an alias.
So the missing 5 aliases for Wednesday (& the missing 1 on Monday), were SB&G customers from other parts of the site, who have yet to play on Sky Poker.
So, I now have 2x £5 tournament tickets sitting in my account. Can I use these to enter a couple of £5.50 buy in events and make up the odd 50p out of my bankroll, or can I only use tickets in events which are equal to or less than the value of a ticket?
Sorry for the noob questions but having tourney tickets is a new one on me and I'd like to get the most out of them. It would be a bit annoying if I suddenly ended up using both tickets for one £5.50 event - I have form for doing stupid things so wouldn't put it past myself!

if you reg for a £5.50 it will take 2 tokens best reg for a £2.20 or £3.30 game that does not start for a while with 1 ticket then reg a £5.50 game to use the other then unreg the the £2.20/£3.30 game that way u get full value.

I'm not an expert on these things, Dues, but it's my general understanding that using 2 x £5 Tokens for a £5.50 event will, effectively, cost you £4.50, as they don't give "change".
If you enter an £11 MTT, I assume you could tick the "token box" when you Register, & then the 2 £5 Tokens will be taken & the extra quid is taken from your account.
I'll try & get clarification on that, but I think that's how it works.
I'm a little surprised you have 2 x £5 Tokens from the Prize Draw- I'd assumed it would be 1 x £10 Token, but I don't really know the ins & outs. Maybe there is no such thing as a single £10 token, I really don't know.
PS - don't worry about "noob questions", always best to ask, & I'm sure one of the lads will be along shortly with a more precise answer. ( @Phantom66 usually has a pretty good handle on this sort of stuff).
There were the winners on TUESDAY, each of whom won £10 non-withdrawable cash.
Aliases are not available - see my earlier explanation - for 6 of the 25.
Well done all.
So the daily winners list is now up to date. The Thursday winners will be published on Friday, whilst the Friday, Saturday & Sunday winners will be published on Monday.
Below are the Prize Draw winners for THURSDAY, all 25 of whom wins a £10 Free Bet to use on Sky Bet.
N.B. Only 22 out of 25 player aliases are listed. This is due to this promotion being available to all Sky Betting & Gaming customers, some of which may not have a Poker alias. We cannot post full names or Usernames for security purposes.
Here are the Prize Draw winners for FRIDAY, 25 of whom won a £10 non-withdrawable cash bonus. 3 of the names with-held as they don't have a poker alias.

In before "but there are only 20 aliases there, there should be 25"
Explanation follows.
As you know, there are NO POINTS requirement to enter these - they are open to anyone who has an account with SB&G, whether they use Poker, Bet, Vegas, Casino, or Bingo.
So some entrants have, say, Bet or Vegas accounts but have never used Sky Poker. (Actually, none of us have Poker or Bet or Vegas accounts - we all have SB&G accounts).

Clearly, their USER ID cannot be published.

Easy to see if you have won though - just go to "My Account". If there's nothing there, then unforch you did not win.
Hope you are keeping well, not seen much of you lately on the PLO8 tables.
Best of luck to everyone else for the rest of the week.
