Points Tilt Rant

How annoying.  Needed 1300 points tonight to reach the next level.  I have 30 mins left and 400 points to make after grinding all night.  Not only have i missed the points threshold it's cost me £350 trying :(  Man i hate this stupid frickin points threshold system.  I wouldn't even have played tonight if i didn't think i'd be wasting 3000 odd hard earned points.  I really hate Sky sometimes.  Rant over :(

    Maybe 1 day a Sky rep will hear my cries of pain and conclude that actually, the system is a bit daft afterall.  But probably they won't :(  I've now got 3,605 points that have taken me many hours of hard graft to accumulate, which will be flushed down the loo.  Although someone can earn just 3,000 points and bag themselves £50.  Ah well, all this excitement isn't good for my ticker.  Am off to think happy thoughts..............whilst i beat the cat to a **** mess :)

    get a m8 to do some 50/100 RR's with you, and ship the money over on stars to make sure u both break even no matter what the result. Obv refund his rake.

    U'll still b well up on the deal.

    I need 90 more for an xtra 20 quid, but cba....but if it was 200 quids worth plus all the extras I'd do something like that ^^^^

    i think the reason why sky has designed a system like that is to induce this kinda of life tilt...good for da games.

    yeah its sick,i have over 30k points sat in my account gathering dust,now another 700 to add to these.
    I actually did not want to play on here today as i knew it was impossible to reach the next level.
    surely sky dont want people feeling this way,not wanting to play etc?? must be a way of people using/carrying over these points.
    How many 50 point freerolls would it take to clear my 30k ?

    Surely that's your own fault for leaving it till the last few hours, not Sky's.

    It would take you 150 days playing all 6 freerolls(4 at 25 points 2 at 50 points) or 300 days just playing the 50 point ones.

    Lets be totally frank about this the c4p deal is a rip off. If you do play a decent amount and get over 10k you then have 2 or 4k thresholds to increase your bonus. On other sites they allow you to encash your loyalty points as and when you see fit.

    Skys system effectively means that they are keeping your rakeback between thresholds. It as is suggested on this thread discourages play between thresholds, which is not good for sky or the player. 

    I think there needs to be a complete overhaul of the system. Sky need to be doing similar things to their competitors.

    Remember, if you are a bit short of an increment come off the tables just before midnight, as points are not credited to your account for the session until you leave the table. So if you come off after midnight it goes towards next months total.
