I would like to see tournament tokens rather than auto entry into a specific tournament
I.E you could play a 3 open satalites in a day and each one you place in would give you 1 entry into any open YOU decide to enter (for the same monetary value of course) there are often times when i may not be able to play that nights Open but i would still play a satalite if i was sitting around and bank the token for another night. Or to pass the time i may win entry into the open but would play another satalite if i could bank the entry for the following night.
I think the intorduction of this would be well supported (there was once a poll on here which showed overwhelming favour of it) and can't be that difficult to do as many sites have tournament tokens / money that is ring fenced to be spent only on site tourny's (therefore not taking money out of sky) but can be used at winners discretion.
Apologies if this is a re-ask but I've had a little read back over the forums (never touched the forums until today!) and can't see any real answer to the question, though it's definitely been asked previously:
What are the chances of getting some form of memorabilia for Sky Poker?
Whether this is a poker points being exchanged for prizes thing or something that more tournaments can offer as a prize for coming in certain positions, any reward system would be very nice. From previous posts I've seen people are open to all sorts of bits and pieces, from pens to poker chips to clothing as prizes, but "winning" something via placing in a tourney or exchanging points definitely appeals to many of us!
Hi Everyone, I realise that this section of the website has become a bit stale in recent months (through no fault of your own!) so I am going to give it a full revamp! The section will soon have specific areas of discussion, from the types of tournaments you enjoy playing to what you like seeing on the website! Feel free to post some topic suggestions below and I will sift through them and get this section up and running properly! Sorry if this has taken a while but, rest assured, it is soon to change!!

hi there.
I dont' know if this possible but alot o the site's i play poker on accept Ucash vouchers which is great for me as most of my earnings are cash jobs so it's alot easier for me to get a ucash voucher from my local co-op. if sky offered this service then i would play fulltime on sky as i love the site and the forum but i find it hard o put cash in my bank as i work monday to saturday 8 till 6.
Hi Jordan i have posted on this subject a couple of times in different threads ,is it possible for Sky to slow down the cards on the flop,turn and river after an all in call . The cards come down so fast that it is hard to work out where you are in the hand . If this was done it would give all players on the table a chance to follow the hand rather than just looking for the WINNER marker to pop up . Kind Regards Mick .
id like to see some tables were people could play for there poker points so that the small bankrollers get a chance to move up the leaderboards if this can be done.
That is a good suggestion. We used to offer prizes like this for people finishing in the top 20 or so in the league table at the end of the month. To be honest, it didn't prove too popular but I will pass on your comment. If you manage to play in the Sky Poker Tour live event we often give out t-shirts and other goodies there as well.
Hi Chew07, I have passed this type of query on before, however, there were so many calls for it to be spead up that it is not something we are doing at the moment. If anything changes, however, I will post it on here.
Hi Jordan thank you for getting back to me on this matter ,you say that Sky had so many calls to speed this up.I find it quite strange that players would want that ,in fact i have never seen a post on the forum asking for this . If there have been so many could you please direct me to where these posts are as i must have missed them all and i would be very intrested to read some of these many posts. Kind Regards Mick .

He doesn't say post's?
Not checked back to read your question but if i remember rightly it was slowing down the community card deal on all ins? don't know why you would want this as when multi tabling it would just get annoying
Thank you Aces for your input but as i do not multi table then it would not be annoying for me , i really cant see why adding on a few seconds to a hand would be so annoying but as this is a community forum everyone has there own thoughts on what they would like to see on Sky Poker . Which is why i find it strange that all these people have rung Sky Poker rather than posting on the forum , i thought this was the place to air our views on poker matters,still its only a suggestion after all. Kind Regards Mick .
id like to say my little piece ive been on this site for about 4 yrs and i loveit but just lately you have started doing rebuys i think this is rubbish if your out your out ive just been in a tourny and some bloke rebuyed about 9 times thats a joke i get to the final table on buy in and he got there with muti add ons its just sooo wrong its not like you do it on a few tournys you do it on loads big ones too i think its a total joke if you lose all your chips you should be out its only been the last few months and i think you have got it totally wrong does antone think this too?? i bet its all the poo players who like it i never rebuy on princeble please get rid of them but i guess not as it makes sky more money but im most upset by it can you do it in the world finals i think not thanks for the chance to rant i wont holod my breath for a change just get rid of it on the open and verlos and the main tournys make it a rare treat not always thanks poppy111
OK, since the questionairre you guys sent me you have acted on the demand for a downloadable client, this is the reason why I am back playing on this site.
some further improvements you could make to your software that would deffinitely help you guys increase traffic and make the client much more user freindly are:
- more note space * -colour coded notes*** -fold to any raise button -auto-top up feature
Sky Jordan - I see that Sky now has the ability to award tokens for tournaments (as per the bonus screen and the forum comments from members who have had them). Are these Tokens to be restricted to Bonus offers given by Sky or will (as per my previous suggestion you kindly forwarded) these now be awarded for satalites won to allow us to buy into the tournament of our choice?
Just want to add my support to last post, i've made a suggestion before about tokens and was told it wasn't possible but it would be good if that has now changed.
While i'm thinking about it i just want to bring up the issue of poker points and what we can or more to the point can't do with them.
At the moment it seems that you can use them for some tournaments which need 20 points to enter but what about maybe having a bigger value freezeout tournament where it cost say 250 - 500 or even 1000 points to enter?
They would be a useful way of using up points and prizes could be cash or even tokens to some of the site's main tournaments if that is now possible?!
Would be interested to see what people think of this..
Hi Jordan What has happened to this thread ????as it is called "Your suggestions will be answered" i think it would be nice if someone answered . I know that you are around on the site because you keep popping up on other threads but the last time you posted on your own thread was 20/11/2010. This thread was and is a good idea but it can only work if the suggestions are answered. Regards Mick .

This has been suggested before but it is not something we are putting into place as yet.
I will forward your comment on however to add weight to the plea.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I will pass your suggestion onto the management team to see if there is anything we can do.
I will be in touch if we can facilitate this.

xDJSIGNx, we do have freerolls running every day which you buy-in with just your poker points. Details can be found here: https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby/poker-promotions/five-freerolls
However, the league tables are for those cash games which are listed I am afraid.
Hope that helps. Keep your suggestions coming!

I posted this on the spt 10/11 thread but then it got all squabbily and i think my post got overlooked...
I noticed at 09/10 DTD SPT final they had an undercamera final table..is there any was we could utilise this for the SPT final ths year?
It would make a fantastic stand-alone....
