There has been a significant uptick in online poker traffic the last few days, both at Sky Poker & elsewhere.
Note also that many B & M Cardrooms are or will be temporarily closing soon - DTD will be closed as & from tomorrow until the Virus has run it's course, & over in Vegas, Wynn Poker Room closed yesterday. So that also drives poker traffic online.
Get onto the marketing boys and girls then Tikay!
Footballindex.co.uk just offered its customers an 8.25% deposit bonus!
I suspect the question was rhetorical, but here they are, below.
I cba to do the math, but one would need to rake an absolute shed load in 60 days to release the full bonus.
€365 bonus Full Terms and Conditions
The €365 bonus is redeemed in €2.50 instalments as you earn Status Points. The first two €2.50 are released when 25 and then 50 Status Points are accumulated. The following 24 instalments are redeemed for each 100 Status Points accumulated. All remaining instalments are redeemed for every 250 Status Points accumulated.
Status Points are accumulated at a rate of 10 for every €1 or £1 paid in rake and/or tournament fees.
There is no wagering requirement attached to the €365 bonus, and once redeemed, it can be withdrawn at your discretion. Any unredeemed part of your €365 bonus expires after 60 days.

To the average poker player, it's absolutely loads.

Look at the bigger picture ffs.
Seems to purely be from the OPs perspective!
A deposit bonus like this will surely annoy the players who have been loyal to a site also there is the risk of new accounts suddenly appearing which are used by current players.

That's why I suggested it should be a returning player bonus - open to all
Yep. Why do you always talk down as if you know more than i?
The next 3 to 6 months could be the busiest Skypoker has been in the last 3 years.
Returning players who are isolating at home, will fancy a gamble, thats for sure. With next to little sport to gamble on, the online poker market will be one of the very few businesses that will do well in this period.
What is wrong with suggesting that if there is a choice of sites (which there is), Skypoker could be doing more to attract a larger piece of the online poker pie for the next 6 months?
My friend, who would easily be a recreational priority player by the way (isn't even that good - just wants to play as much as they can whilst at home) won't sign up to Sky Poker because there are better offers elsewhere - I don't see why I should be shot down for giving some sensible feedback.
You can say what you like about Ipoker but they are a larger network than Skypoker, do offer DYM's too, and their site doesnt cut out if you multi table a lot of tables - Sky STILL hasn't fixed this problem and we have had no proper software upgrades as far as I am aware in last 2/3 years?
I will likely stay loyal to Sky, but it would be great to see amazing traffic wouldn't it? - Could they be doing more during what will be a mini boom in next few months?

I’m not talking down to you. We just have different ideas on what’s important right now

Absolutely incred comment.
I am one of those that lost my job - lost it today. Many will lose jobs and some will even lose lives - its horrific what this virus will do.
But life goes on doesn't it? I have to get on with it.

Exactly, yet you're rabbiting on about deposit bonuses. Given your situation I'd assume you to have much more perspective than what you're demonstrating.
I'll probably be in the same boat as you before long, and I can assure you that if/when I lose my job I won't be thinking 'oooh, might have a little flutter on Sky now I have no money coming in'.

To winning players, who do manage to make a side income from playing here, what is the problem in hammering online poker whilst applying for new jobs? - Indeed, even to break even players who then get C4P, it would be worthwhile. Would that, indeed, not be sensible infact?

That would be entirely circumstantial and certainly not one size fits all.
If someone is a proven winner and has the £££ to live life relatively normally and also sustain any potential medium/long term negative variance then yes crack on.
But how applicable is that to your average poker player who works full time? 10%? 5%? You said that people who lost their jobs will fancy a gamble. I seriously doubt that the people who live month to month will be giving internet poker/betting a second thought if the worst happens and they find themselves out of a job.
And just to edit, it can be tough to find new employment at the best of times so anyone searching for a job in the next few months when this is all kicking off will probably find it extremely difficult. I'm not sure many industries and companies are going to be throwing money at new employment for the foreseeable future.
I can't see any recreational poker players who are unfortunate enough to lose their job, with bills to pay and mouths to feed, deciding to invest any of their savings on an online poker site.
Yes, traffic will increase due to amount of people either working from home or self isolating but to say that those unfortunate enough to lose their job will be searching the internet for the best online poker deal is ridiculous. They will have far more important priorities, like trying to keep up with mortgage payments and feeding their kids.

In short then, by your logic, you dont think the online poker market will increase in next couple of months? - The first few posts on this thread already suggest it is improving.

In 60 days.

Bet365 have DYM's?

Are you that stupid?
But life goes on doesn't it? I have to get on with it.
Most will not have lost jobs. Some will, but for sure absolutely most won't.
Those that don't/won't, will have to be at home for a decent whack of the next 6 months.
Most will not get severely ill.
Huge market for online poker in next 6 months.
