    Is that up to and including 25/50 for the first one??

    Has this all changed?  It used to be nl20/30 was one level, then it jumped for nl40/50 then again at nl100.  Can a member of staff clarify this please.
    I have tried to load the page that shows all the levels etc, but there must be something wrong with the site as it says `page not loading`,

    thanks

    Hi Lee.

     I don't think you understood what cotlad was saying. He got the information of that page ( https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby?action=show_static&page=loyalty_earning ) but it shows the cash for points rate for up to 25/50p and then the next level starts a 50p/£1. So the 40p/80p level that is in the middle has not been given a group ... So is it in the 25/50 section or the 50/1+ and also the worry is that if its missing are we actually getting any cash for points for that level at all?

    Thanks

    Charlie

    sky lee, i can only see how much money a certain number of points is worth on that page, not how many you get for different levels.

    Also, surely nl4 isnt the same as nl50 cfp, if so, as bigshann says, its time to mass table the micros

    Hi all,

    The content on that page (as indicated by some of the dates mentioned in the terms and conditions) is old and seems to have worked it's way back onto the live environment. We're working on updating that now. Apologies for any confusion caused.

    Thanks,
    Dave

    40p/80p should be worth 15 points/20 hands imho.
    Can't see how nl40 can be doubled to nl80 and the same points earnt.  Then add only 25% to nl100 and get double points of 18. 
    Am i being picky?

    Also i have another points based question:  It often happens that regular players reach a threshold (let's say 16,000 points) with only a few  days to go before month end.  They then have no incentive to play for the remaining days unless they can make 4000 points to get to the next payout level.  In theory they could earn 19,999 points and only get paid for 16,000.  This i think is very unfair especially to the numerous players who encorporate cash for points into their monthly profit and loss.

    I therefore suggest to the board that 1 of 2 things happen:
    1. the thresholds are narrowed to maximum 1000 points per level without negatively affecting current payouts.
    2. the excess points wasted each month under the current system are carried over to the following month.

    Not sure if this warrants a separate thread?  Would be pleased to hear Sky's comments.

    Cheers

    Cottlad I sent off an email to sky a couple of months ago saying exactly that (about having excessive points at the end of the month), and they said they would pass it on to the relevant team and come back to me.

    Haven't heard anything though.

    Obv jumps of 4k in points are way too much, and I don't get why the points can't be carried over if we're half way between anyway. We're still paying the same amount in rake either way.

    Hi Shaun,

    This subject has been raised again and again with nothing being done.  (see below threads, I hope they work!).  I personally now have over 160k points that are useless, and I expect many others have similar if not more than this.

    I agree, the jump from 8k points to 12k is insane.  There is no in between.  Needs sorting.
    At the very least you should be paid out on the lesser criteria, ie - if you earned 10k points, you would get £200 for reaching the 8k, then another £30 for hitting 2k........and that is the bare minimum sky should be offering
