Apologies, as the main team have been a little busy with the new download and game changes I have been advising them when posts needed looking at and unfortunately this thread seems to have slipped through the net. I have just PM'd Jordan to advise him of the latest posts on here.
Apologies for the delay in replying here. As I am sure you can understand, it has been a pretty hectic week with the download going live.
Ok, here goes...
Trip5- Thanks again for the post. Unfortunately, a lot of our players are multi-tablers and they want things spead up and people who play single tournaments want them to be slowed down, therefore we have met you in the middle with the speed it is now.
Poppy1- I am sorry you feel this way about our rebuy tournaments, however there are still plenty of tournaments that don't offer these, including the majority of our 8pm tournaments, you should be able to keep occupied. Rebuys and add-ons require a different type of skill and therefore we like to give this as an opportunity to our players.
Trip5-This is a very good suggestion. I can only think of cost as a reason it would not be done. I have forwarded it to our marketing department so once I have a response I will let you know.
Adam5lad-I have forwarded your comment to the team who created the download so we should get a response next week regarding these new suggestions. Thanks.
Acesover8s-These tokens are still not available for satellites, however I have asked the marketing department the reason for this so I will let you know what they say.
Brrrrrr-I see your point with this, however it was decided a while ago that this was pointless as if you have that many points spare, it was better for all to take advantage of the Cash for Points promotion we run at the end of every month.
Again, apologies for the delay, hope that answers your questions.
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.. Posted by Brrrrrrr
I think the answer provided to this in the last post is a total cop out!
Other sites give cash for points and have a variety of games you can buy into with points - sky off 10 and 20 point buy ins - It surely wouldnt be too difficult to run 500 / 1000 buyin games once a week with a larger prize funds. I read elsewhere that there is a fund for freerolls (in one of Tikays posts) perhaps the distribution of the fund should be looked at? After all the freerolls could be a brilliant marketing tool.

Sky_Jordan, I think you are missing the point if you pardon the pun. I have been playing on the site for over two years and have only once managed to reach the lowest 500 point threshhold. I play £2/3/5 mtt and sngs and play most days of the week and usually get nowhere near the requirements to benefit from the points promotion. I have a poker points bslance of 5000+ but there is nothing i can do with them at all. Unless of course i want to pay 20 points to enter a REBUY freeroll tournament and play for hours against 1000+ players to win £1.50 or so?!!
If you can't have a higher value freeroll using more points like the 500 - 1000 i suggested why not have a way you can exchange your points for an entry into a tournament of your choice ie.
And (tounge firmly in cheek) when you adopt this fantastic idea, a free entry into a £33 + tournament of my choice would be very welcome, thank you very much!!
i want a free entry in to a big tourney sky jordan give me a ticket NOW lol as im a poor pesant who can hardly eat let alone play poker! no only kidding joined the other week and sky has to be the best poker site ive been on head hunters ive missed and the gteed tournies are better plus all british players or near enuff please please never merdge with another site as they have all been spoilt !!! hope to lose lots of my hard earned cash here go go go from outr Posted by outr
dont you worry mate this site will easily take your money with out blinking lol
The poker points do not have any monetry value unfortunately and unless you hit the 500 mark in a month, they will remain on your account. You can use them in the 5 daily freerolls we run but also, at the end of the year, we will be running our vegas points fest promotion where you can buy in with a large amount of points to win cash rewards.
you should make it known that if you win a seat into a tournament play it because if you unregester you get nothing because i won a £12 game which won me into a £50 game but i left the computer and the bairn unregestered me so i got £12 back bit unfair i think

Try speaking to customer services. they might be able to sort something out for you and get you registered for next weeks game.
poker points transfer between players would be nice. i am sure some of the more top players on this site dont even bother using there poker points for anything. maybe this has been brought up before if it has i apoligize.
Hi all, only just joined the site, via Tikay at his other port.
One suggestion. Please auto end the Double your money games once the last 3 are reached. No point playing on as everyone getting equal payout. This will enable to people to play more games, and rake more ktksbye
Unfortunately, we would not offer the chance to transfer funds between players as this would almost defeat the point of earning poker points altogether. There are freerolls available which only cost points to enter and you can earn poker points in most of our tournaments.
Hi Achill, I have passed your suggestion forward as it seems like a viable query, although I can't speak for the team as there may be issues with cost etc. Once I have a reply though, I will post it on this thread.
Hi Hagisboy and welcome to the forum. The suggestion you make has been raised before and we made changes on the top of that. Unfortunately, it is not how you describe but this thread may help.

Hi guys, I believe Jordan is out of the office for a day or two but have left him a message concerning your posts.

Played a £2 omaha hi lo pl hu the other day and it took an hour to play as the blind levels we 10 minutes long.
This was a long time to play to win £1.90 and i wondered if it would be better to make the blind levels 5 minutes instead.
Cheers

Would it be possible to try and promote fixed limit poker as to not loose as much money or omaha hi lo
We tend to promote the big tournaments as a point of reference, however I will bear this in mind when we put an image on the home screen after 8pm.
Thanks,
Jordan
