Do small stakes players and newbies not account for quite a lot of skys income, if so why do we seem to get overlooked for the big players and maniacs on this site.

I was given a token for my hard earned points last month (Dec and for me at least this is a big deal, now  I cannot even claim back this as there are no more £1k tourneys to enter this Month and apparently u cannot even transfer to a similar tourrny of the same value (Sky WTF) sort it out please, otherwise  you will lose your smaller recreational players whoi in the  main  are your  bread & butter!

     When your missus gets a voucher for Tescos but forgets to use it by the voucher end date do Tesco send you a cheque?

    Right Tikay, get him banned ;)

    I'm a fellow low stakes player and it can be very annoying them neglecting the low stakes players with things like missing out the happy hour for us etc but that is NO excuse for being abusive to the players who just happen to be better and play at higher stakes

    Chris, I don't understand why you feel the need to throw abuse at other players just because their point of view differs from your own.

    Sky Poker offer more freebies to players than probably any other site, especially to lower stake players take for instance the Forum DTD and Friday Orfordable League prizes every week / month, and lots more besides. 

    I like you and many other am a low stakes player, but have as much chance to qualify (via sats) for Main events and such like, to boost the poker points each month to get the cash for points bonus.

    good luck at the tables

    I'm not sure what you are getting at here Chris.  You're using one issue you currently have as proof of a change of business plan for the whole site.  In my opinion it's not like that.  Yes this month there is a more visual focus on bigger bankroll players, but this is pretty much a first for the site since it opened.  No other site I know of (and I've played a lot) offer so much added value to smaller bankrolled players.  Ask the guys who satted in to the UKOPS for a few quid and cashed three and four figured scores.  There are regular direct sats into rollers which one seat guaranteed which don't completely fill.  The DTD (one of the best things on this site IMO) gets regular added value.  If you have a direct issue about your token, keep in correspondence with Customer Services.

    Also, please watch the tone towards some people who have replied to you with a different point of view.  Many of them who now play higher started at the micro/low stakes, I count myself among them.

    if you get 1k tournies then i demand we higher stakes players get a £100k tourney, sort it out sky its only fair! they get a free tourney but we dont. it should have at least 100k prizepool cause of the millions of pounds we put into pots hourly.

    can we also have free forum comps weekly where we can win packages to vegas to play the wsop main event with hotel + flights. i dont think free entry into friday nights comp is acceptable cause its such a wortless prize. its spits in the faces of those of us who have oversized wallets and who walk around with monacles and lincoln sticks

    Heres an idea .... Spend less time moaning, Learn how to play,  move up through the stakes,  become a high stakes player.
