Is this a new thing, or is it just because Ive earned 10k points last month.  As thats the first time Ive hit 10k points I`m not sure.  Whatever, It`s a good thing that Sky are meeting us halfway on the 10k cfp increment, cheers

    Do you still have to hit 10kpts/month to qualify ?

    Yeah I think its new, I got the email yesterday. Sounds good to me. I might ring my "Account manager" at 3am and ask for food to be sent to my room :-)

    great idea... i think it should also be extended to take account of mtt and sng players who are measured against a different (lower) calibrated scale of points.  the efforts of tallytink, pcr, shy-boy, 4fingersaa. bar4004 and solack should also be acknowledged in this way.  good idea.

    I think this is an excellent idea.  Ufortunately something I won't ever qualify for lol, but still a wonderful offer for those that do.

      yes its an excellent idea to reward loyal cash players

      mtt players sng players have no chance

      i played around 10 tournys every day through november including every 8.oclock every tsp

      all the big bounty hunters  so nearly 300 tournys and got 4,000 poker points

      so can some please explain how any one but cash players can benefit from this

    +1, good point, it doesn't affect me because I don't even earn 1000 points per month, but this is totally skewed towards cash players, all the MTT/STT specialists have no chance.

    They probably can't.  The loyalty aspect of this comes through mainly cash players earning Sky thousands in rake every month.  It's an incentive for them to make Sky even more and at the same time earn more themselves.  It's pretty standard throughout the poker industry.  Although mtt players may be 'loyal' to the site, they just aren't making Sky the thousands cash players are.  Simple economics really.  Same as a good salesman who earns 10x more for the company he works for than a bad saleseman can expect to receive more back from said company is wages and perks.

    ive no prob with this but when it comes to the said players getting an automatic entry to the spt events if they wish to pay the buyin because they cant or if they do play a sat they might loose money instead ove playing at a cash table where they can be winning money.what are sky trying to say to players who have to go to work for a living and cant play cash allday and dont have a chance ove making 10,000 pionts.thanks for trying better luck next time.a very dissapionted del

    Never knew about this, if i did i would of grinded a bit more the final day, as i finished on 9800 points for the month!lol. I only play Heads up sit n goes, and never really put in as much volume as i should of, so its not impossible for a sit n go player  to get 10k points for the month, you just have to put in the volume. 

    Can someone explain to me what the 25% cash for points boost means exactly? Thanks in advance.
