Last night the site goes down with no warning, tonight, it's on a go slow which means in a double your money sit n go u get 2, 3 if u r lucky, hands per level, is this how it always is on here?

    I have to agree. I've just finished a sit and go double your money, and we were not even getting a round in before the blinds were going up!

    I'm gonna have to go somewhere else soon this is getting beyond a joke. I'm not sure why Sky either choose not to, or can't have downloadable software, but i've never experienced any problems lie this before on proper poker sites

    Hi Steve, thanks... but... OS and browser versions will be largely irrelevant I feel. It's clearly a site issue as it's so widespread, and will be obvious to the techies if they run any 'test tables'.

    Hi Guys,

    I share your frustration - I do.

    I've been on the Site all evening, & though my Tables were fine - I'm blessed - lots of you have told me of the problems.

    I have sent a detailed Report of all the issues to the Suits - they have it now - & I'm sure it will get sorted overnight.

    I can't really say any more - them's the facts.

    I'll be back on the Site in the morning, & so if anyone wants to bash me up, you'll know where to find me. Eeek.

    Lol, I'm trying mate, really.

    I have put a lot of effort & detail into the Report I sent to Head Office 20 minutes ago, all the facts are in there, including lengthy C & P's of Chat Box Convos where guys were explaining the problems.

    There is nothing more I or they can do tonight - if there were, I'd do it, trust me! - but you can bet there'll be some hooting & hollering in the morning, & the Suits will make sure it gets sorted.

    been involved in 2 tourneys tonight, the 7pm deepstack and the 9pm 4k and in both of them the speed the games were running at was horrendous! ... i actually couldnt play a hand for 10mins in the deepstack and as for the 9pm tourney 2 hands played in every 10min blinds?!?  im sure sky you are doing everything to sort this and i appreciate things like this can happen, but i think refunds should be in order because the tourneys i played in tonight were a joke

    No it's just the beginning :

    Omaha coming soon
    Downloadable client coming soon
    SUKPT coming soon

    When things grow they get the odd niggle until it all settles.

    Stick with it everyone we all love the UK atmosphere/community.

    Apologies for the issues that the site has been having over the last couple of evenings guys, it is something we are looking into as a matter of urgency.  I will report back with an update as soon as the technical team report back.
    The team and I appreciate your patience in the interim.
    Regards,
    Des.

    I'm as much a player here as you Chipee, & I love the people who play here.

    My Dad used to say "nothing worthwhile was ever achieved without a bit of pain, Son". Well Sky Poker ouight to end up as a GREAT site, cos, between us, we've had a bit of pain together!
     
    And do you know what - it WILL.

    Anyways, Sjy Des is on the case now, so I'm bowing out. Sky Des is a bit like Roy Keane used to be. And that's on a bad day......
