there are rebuys in the lobby for a bounty hunter that cost a total of £2.30 which is £2 buy in and 30p to sky so why is the rebuy costing £2.30 for the same starting chips
will all that buy in go to the pot or will sky take a rake out of all rebuys as well as this is not the norm for other sites that run this type of game??????

    They seem to be doing this for every rebuy tourny, charging an additional rake.

    As nutter says, Sky like to buck the trend of virtually every other online poker site when it comes to rake

    and I have to say its starting to get beyond a joke for low stake players

    Aski :)

    No, it's not a mistake by Sky, only by anyone daft enough to take them up on their rip-off offer.

    2 players registered for the 15:05 roulette rebuy.

    Might just watch ALL the action and see if any of them is tempted with the rebuy offer

    Aski :)

    ps. I'll post my findings at 15:06 ;)

    Update 4 players registered so results post may be delayed till 15:07 :)

    unless they all rebuy in of course , then it may be 15:08 :)

    ok here is the result of teh 15:05 from Sky Park

    A field of 8 runners, they played it very cagey  in the first level, only one all in.


    Second level blinds at 50/100 saw 4 rebuys

    next rebuy was at 200/400, all 8 players still in the field

    it then got silly as blinds increased to 400/800 when the next rebuy was made.

    field was thinning out now, the back markers pulling up

    5 players left when the next rebuy occured at 1000/2000 level, so they were buying half a big blind.

    Down to 3 runners and the guy who ended up finishing second for a grand prize of 2.75, made 3 rebuys

    at the 2000/4000 level

    In total the game lasted around 20 minutes, and there were 14 rebuys.

    prize money totalled £11, and sky raked in £2.20.

    The winner made a profit , second at best made 35p

    So from Sky's point of view there appears to be a market for rebuy roulette games and a good money spinner too for them

    Aski :)

    Well, I for one won't be telling you to "where to go"--- A lot of players are irrate about the small stakes rake here--- I started a thread about it in community suggestions and got completely ignored, despite the fact that it got more votes than any other thread that has ever been in community suggestion--- sky seem to think they don't need to worry about players leaving because of the constant stream of new players from telly and facebook, will they wake up and realise that loyalty and keeping players here is more important?--I think not.

    Main event £5 rebuy? 

    Or at least a proper tourny at night with rebuys and a good gtd'd prize pool?

    I cant see any decent ones in the lobby are they still testing? or is this "ya lot"?
