edited April 2010 in Poker Chat

  After my recent email too skybernie regarding the ongoing excess poker points,

  i received the following info :

  Skypoker [ skybernie ]  will deduct 1000 points from all yes all our accounts ,

  from friday onwards and there after every friday .

  this is compulsory i stress you can not opt out .

  the value of the freeroll is £ 100 pounds total prize pool .

  so say 5,000 players are thrown in ,

  thats 5 millon poker points ,

  the winner of this freeroll if very very very lucky,

   will get about a tener for winning this freeroll.

   this is the worst value for money ever on any pokersite .


   i note they have not this freeroll in lobby yet,

   we can stop it ,

   post your protest on here and let bernie know your thoughts on 

   this plan of his .

           Seems a strange plan to say the least, so after a year is it feasible i could end up owing Sky approx 50,000 pts ?   
               Hope they take green shield stamps in exchange, as my wife has about 50,000 which she has kept for the last 20yrs or so.

    I suppose once everyone's points backlog has gone, only those earning 1000 points a week would be entered in the freeroll?

    Just thinking, towards the end, when nobody has any points left, theres gonna be 80,70,60......10,9,8,7 down to 1 person who is able to qualify for this freeroll...

    so say if someone on sky has 10k more points than anyone else....

    They r gtd to win the last 10 frolls - hence wll win the last 10 freerolls, worth 1k? 

    Am I wrongggggggggg  ??

    SORRY IRISH COULD U EXPLAIN A BIT... THEY ARE GOING TO BE TAKING POINTS OFF US EVEN WITHOUT OUR CONSENT OR HAVE I READ THAT WRONG.... ALSO AN EMPLOYER CANNOT REALLY DEDUCT MONEY OF ITS EMPLOYEE WITHOUT A VALID REASON.... NO DIFFERENT IN THIS CASE REALLY.... I HAVE BEEN ON SKY FOR 3-4YEARS AND AM VERY ANITSKY AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE THERE ARE M UGGING THEIR CUSTOMERS OFF..... IF POINTS START GOING FROM MY ACCOUNT WITHOUT MY CONSENT THEN THEY WILL HAVE A LIBEL ON THEIR HANDS..... U CANNOT TAKE AWAY SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE HAS EARNED WITHOUT THERE SAYSO.... IN MY BOOK THATS THEFT!

    No No No Rover,  you must have this wrong  ..

    The points belong to the PLAYERS not Skypoker !! 

    They cant just deduct thousands of PLAYER points Willy Nilly ??
     Unless Mr M   has got the hump because he has to give up some of his sports TV to other company's according to the 'Standard of Fair Trading' who said,
     "Sky TV were running a monopoly on their Sports and Film channels" !! 
    It looks like some  will go to the "Free" Channels"

     Maybe Skypoker want to call in all the 'Player Points' in protest against the 'Standard of Fair Trading', seems a bit undemocratic if they  did, it would be a bit like saying ,
    "It's our ball and were not playing anymore" !

    The plot thickens ??




    PS  today  is March 31st  as Trev says  ,,,Not April 1st   :))

    It's completely beyond comprehension that people could actually fall for this sort of stuff.

    For the avoidance of doubt, & for those that have fallen for it - it's not true. And it was started by IrishRover, not Sky Poker.
