Hopefully spin up rake will come down a good chunk, or at least half the cap. It might be the case that you will get a lot more tables running because more people will be inclined to table start across all the stakes. It would create a more efficient ecosystem in the spinup format and less of the whack a mole as it currently plays.
iPoker's software currently prevents you from having more than one iPoker client open at a time. As the number of skins offering exclusive games increases, this becomes a problem.
I currently play a lot on another iPoker site in their own exclusive/ring-fenced games and sometimes mix in some Sky games on the side (particularly when traffic is low during off peak hours). I will soon no longer be able to do this and will instead be forced choose one over the other, despite both offerings being completely ring-fenced from the rest of the iPoker network.
@Sky_James could you please raise this issue with the team at iPoker to see if they could find a way to allow players to participate in exclusive games across different skins at the same time? I've no doubt it would be of benefit to all the sites that have exclusive tables available.

big plus 1 to this. otherwise sky exclusive main events will be £1k gtd events
i used to play on the original william hill poker site then they joined the i poker it was never the same i do hope this will not happen to sky
What happened? I am in two minds whether to stay with Sky at the moment I guess a lot will depend upon whether they retain DYMs (hopefully they bin off the turbos or at least bring back highlighted lobbies for normals).

Hi @Tikay10 good morning. Will this include plo8 dyms. I know theirs only a small group of us that play it but some nights quite a few do run and its the best form of poker out there.

Ha, a person after my own heart, I adore PLO8. Last time I looked I'd played over 26,000 of them here, & you never know, one day I may start playing them here again.
I see no reason why PLO8 DYM's will not continue, & if I'm wrong, I'm sure @Sky__James will come along & correct me sharpish.

I hope they do.
However, this might be a problem in relation to the software, particularly for plo8 MTTs. Because, unless there have been recent changes, I think the i-poker software is currently designed for plo, but not plo8...
Just on the alias changes, for a platform where some have alleged collusion issues does it make sense to brand everyone with the same suffix? Wouldn’t this look suspicious when 2-3 players appear with others in the global games? Particularly when -sky at the end will make us all look Russian

Very glad to hear Sky will continue to manage our money, as I have had issues with 2 of the 3 ipoker skins I have played on.
I assume this also means our account will still be linked with Sky Bet?

Hi,
@Sky__James addressed that near the foot of the previous page...
"Yes the plan is to run exclusive Spin up Cash games and DYMS on ipoker which will be ringfenced and in £s."
