And lose it to the avrage Joe on sky poker, they are like Robin Hood?

No, don't think so. Although often in this situation players feel that they are freerolling and so perhaps play suboptimally.

Also there are some decent players on here so perhaps game selection is not your strong suit

Or maybe you're really good at finding value bets and not so good at poker.

I don't know, I play mini stakes, very badly, and don't use skybet or casino.

I THINK I understand your point - when we bet with Sky Bet, the players are playing against the House, & so win or lose money to the House.

In poker, players are playing against each other, & win each other's money. Poker players don't play for the Houses money, Sky Poker simply charge a fee to play on the site.

That said, Sky Bet & Sky Poker the same Company, so it somewhat nullifies the debate. And both are part of Flutter PLC.

By the way is there any connection to sky sports or it just sounds and looks a bit similar

No, no connection with Sky Sports or Sky TV at all. They do, however, have similar branding.

At one time, Sky Poker (along with Sky Bet, Sky Vegas, Sky Casino, Sky Bingo etc) were owned by Sky TV, but that's not been the case for a decade or more, & the Gaming & Betting Group (SB&G) has been sold on several times since before becoming part of the Flutter Group. Sky Betting & Gaming (or Flutter, if you will) simply use the "Sky" brand under licence;


The Sky trademarks are owned by the Sky Plc group of companies and are used under licence.

Yes, I believe that's a large part of the commercial logic.
