PAYOUT STRUCTURE FOR SKY'S NEW FREEROLLS

OK now that Sky are (finally) putting on better daily freerolls - the only thing that I would like to see changed now is the payout structure

Currently the payouts are the same as for a normal MTT paying upto 90 places

The problem is most of these places only payout a few pence

What I think would be better is to limit the payouts to Top 20 along the lines of:-

1st 20%
2nd 15%
3rd 10%
4th 8%
5th 7%
6th 6%
7th 5.5%
8th 5%
9th 4.5%
10th 4%
11th-15th   2%
16th-20th 1%

Is this something others would prefer? cos if enough people would i'd imagine Sky would quite easily change it for us...

    I voted no! Only because Im challenging myself to run the account to £5000 without depositing, I need to build a small bankroll to start. Have played 4 £20 freerolls and cashed in 2. Gutted the community freeroll is costing poker points now. So any donations to help the bankroll will help!

    Yea Top 20 payout would be good.

    Also maybe have the freerolls as a first come first serve basis, 200 runners but with same prizepool.

    Then I'd have more chance of winning :p

    I didn't know that 1 of the freerolls didnt fill up, I'd of played and won it myself if I was online.

    I've only got 60 poker points left and no money in my bank, bad times :( lol

    What are you talking about?

    That was the very first one that had approx 100 runners.

    The rest have been around the 800 mark.

    hey guys,

    i passed this on to our poker guys and here is their response...

    "We’d like to thank Diablo_pez for his suggestion in revising the freeroll payout structure to only pay the Top 20. We’ve considered the idea, however in the interest of fairness to all players at all levels, we will be retaining the current standard MTT payout structure. There are many players to whom £0.60 is a worthy prize as it translates to 2 free sit & go’s.

     

    Thank you again for your suggestion"
