SKYS BIRTHDAY what do you think!

  When it was my Birthday I put a 1000 pound behind the Bar.  What im getting at is 
 I have just invited 5 friends to join sky poker, who plays alot on the internet and said to them  if you can get your account up and running by 2mor you can go in the sky birthday comp. I gave it large to be honest without looking at the prize money, and now feel embarrassed as 140 placed only gets  24p and if you manage to get though and win the whole comp you wont even win 50 pound.

SKY PLEASE STEP UP AND LETS HAVE A PARTY ON YOU.

LOVE ALL YOUR FRIENDS ON SKY THAT SAID HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YA.

cheers Johnny1mac

PS Overall   sky is great and a up and coming site. Love the sky T.V the poker tours. the community and chat and really friendly site. But most of us are all here to win money and even if your not you would expect more for a few hours work. If I win im going to donate my winning on a home game to one of the friends that sign up.

    I agree it aint worth entering even for free, other sites are miles ahead on the freeroll side of things.

    Big Prizes in freerolls would be ace, but some people think the prize money falls out the sky, grows on the magic money tree (native only to the grounds of SkyPoker towers) or comes from a secret underground bunker. 

     Sky Poker put on lots of other events too like the TKO`s and Team Poker, ALL of which are free to enter.

    Turn it in.

    But it's there birthday!  OK as A PRESENT IF I CAN TO SKY I WILL DONATE 50 POUND TO BE ADDED TO THE TOP THREE, IF you feel I want something for free.

    P.S I Have help a big sites on a lot of technical problem and have come up with some good points

    I dont want them embarrassed as a site as I really enjoy skypoker. Plus they should of put the prize money up and done it part of a promotion to get more player involed.

    Thats my point they do other free stuff but this is sky's 1st birthday.
    next year they should take a pound from evry comp and added it to a sat to qualify for sky birthday next year.

    How do you think other site look good I just coming up with idea to promote the site and yes I would stop what I doing and join them 2morr.

    I think Sky Poker should safely get through this rocky patch in one-piece.

    i can understand what your saying mate, and agree well sort of

    I agree with reducing to only 50 paid would be better, although maybe their regulations due to how many are registered they cant do this?
    just think most freerolls on here are pointless, but then again for those who havent got the funds at least its a starting point

    Agree with Johnny - payout structure and amount is poor given all the hype - not sure whether I'll bother now.

    When all said and done it is a business to make money/profit and can understand low payouts on Freerolls to some extent but shouldn't be made out to be bigger or better than it actually is.

    Felt the same re the welcome Bonus when a friend introduced me - cleverly worded to make you think you would get more than you actually would. Site not too bad - converted from Betfair a few months ago but still not quite sure whether to go back.

    I play poker for the fun and the challenge! So my objective is to play my best and finish as high as possible irrespective of any prize money! I have noticed there are some very good players in this freeroll so to finish above most of them will be my reward!

    As its the forums 1st birthday perhaps Sky should have limited entry to those that actually post on the forum on a regular basis then there wouldn't be quite so many entered into the game and fewer moans about this free to enter game.

    Agree - players were asked to post birthday greetings but I have just checked and there are 708 posts with 1098 entries (or something like that) - those that haven't entered into the spirit should be thrown out.
