The other sites i have played on do put on bigger poker points tourneys, you can use them for satelites, you get a cash bonus for them at end of month and get merchandice as well.
Difference is they zero your poker points at end of month which sky dont hence why you have 150k sitting.
I prefer Skys way rather than lose them altogether

I use one of the worlds biggest sites and my points never get taken away.. these can then be used for tourni entrys and merchandise...... you can even claim a porsche cayman if you collect enough points (3 million i think).
Dont get me wrong sky run a good reward system and i do feel sorry for the bigger players, who obviously spend a great deal of money gaining their points.
On the subject of merchandise, using Skys buying power their could easly purchase merchandise or other poker related goods or even other items tv/console/mobiles etc very cheaply from the manufactures. Some could even be free with a little advertisng given on the site as compensation.
Im sure someone like microsoft/sony/o2 would quite happily provide a few 1000'2 quids worth of equipment for a tourniment sponsered by them which in turn would provide merchandise for the shop. Or it could provide a alternative prize structure.
Im sure some of the bigger players with the larger points saved would be interested to enter a tourni where the winner recieved a new HD TV or something along those lines

totally agree with you unless you play with a large bankroll, teh smaller players get ditto in terms of reward for playing on here. (before the mods step in i do know about the cash for points etc)
I know we shouldnt expect something for free at the end of the day if it was your or mine poker site i would want to look after the bigger players. However i reckon the amount of amaller players on this site, with their rakes and entry fee's etc must huge.
I do believe that it is time to run a league system for the smaller bankroll players or run alternitive tourni's etc....
I agree with with Edkent The smaller players never have a chance to get into the league basically because there bank roll isn't big enough. I don't even earn enough points each month to get any cash back. The smaller player should also be rewarded with something as they also contribute to the site in a big way.
Perhaps its about time sky listened to its players, or gives a honest response rather then "coming soon" or "watch this space". how about a yes or no and then im sure everyone will stop asking and remember its just not the smaller players are questioning this it is also the bigger players
so step forward sky suits, your customers would like a answer

Sky take the points out of my account every month for the cash for points promo. the 170k I have is the odds that are left over. i.e. 45763 points last month - 44k taken back so 1763 left for nothing!
hmm it should have taken you to the freeroll section. well anyway... head to the freeroll area and have a look at the new freerolls appearing there. everything should be self explanatory but if you need any more help just shout. Posted by Sky_Rich
15 places in primo (£450 its just another pointless free role) i bet their will be near 2k runners if it is sky will take in 200k points and give out £450 not worth my time and im sure bigshann will feal the same, i think what bigshann ment was buy in direct with the points even if it was 10k points buy in.
it will be 1500 runners 100/1 to get a seat i think that makes it a 30p mtt nice1 sky. at 1500 runners its 150,000 points taken in by sky and £450 given out, if it was cash for points 160,000 points is £12k, so sky r taking near £12k worth of points and giving you £450 thats near £11.5k profit for sky, this is a poor offer from sky and the fact its taken 3 months is just a joke IMO. i have been here less than 4 months and have 34k points what can i do with them?
It's a start - the pressure is paying off. But it doesn't go far enough. I have enough points to stop paying and just play freerolls for a year. Now I'm sure sky don't want that.
It should be 2500 points for direct entry to the primo. Or 5000 points for the Friday/Saturday/Sunday trio.
There was one place for every 25 entries at 100 points for the sky poker tour semi's (worth near enough 25 quid) a while back so how abouts applying the same logic to other Tournies?
1 place for the primo for every 30 buyin's at 100 points and 1 place for the double stack for every 20 buyin's at 50 points?
Edit - Or certainly more than one place for every 100 runners!

Just a thought......

thanks for staying patient
you can now spend your points to win seats in the Primo and other larger tournaments.
cheers

This is a start. Still some way to go though I feel. Hope this will not be put to bed now as I am sure that I am not on my own with this issue!
Nearly every other site I am a member of offers direct turny buyin for points.
Cheers

at 1500 runners its 150,000 points taken in by sky and £450 given out, if it was cash for points 160,000 points is
£12k, so sky r taking near £12k worth of points and giving you £450 thats near £11.5k profit for sky, this is a poor offer from sky and the fact its taken 3 months is just a joke IMO. i have been here less than 4 months and have 34k points what can i do with them?
