    Happy hours are difficult to legislate for sngs and mtts, if you start a sng with 2 mins of the happy hour to go should it qualify for the 50% uplift when its likely to finish well outside the hour. 

    Sky have extended the promo to micro stakes as well now, so it might not be a bad time to migrate to cash, because lets face it thats where the real money is.

    If you play the 8pm Nightly Main Event, Sky Poker will not just add 50% extra points, they will pay more than 100% extra in some cases.

    Normally, in Tournaments, you get 10 points for every £1 in reg fees.

    If you play the 7 Main Events, Monday to Sunday inclusive, these have aggregate Reg Fees of £18 (£3 + £2 + £2 + £3 + £1 + £2 + £5), & so you'd normally get 180 C4P.

    In fact, you would get 510 C4P.

     Monday, £30 + £3, Points 60
    Tuesday, £20 + £2, Points 50
    Wednesday,£20 + £2, Points 50
    Thursday, £30 + £3, Points 100
    Friday, £10 + £1, Points 25
    Saturday, £20 + £2, Points 50
    Sunday, £50 + £5, Points 175

    TOTAL POINTS 510, instead of 180, being a bonus of 330 Points - rather more than 50%!

    Tournament players also benefit from numerous benefits which are not available to Cash Players - the Jackpot, for example (which is a a pure "bonus"), overlay from time to time (hopefully not too often....), daily Freerolls, added value such as UKOPS Bracelets, Rake-Free Tourneys (SURVIVOR).

    Sky Poker TRY to be fair to ALL players, but it could be argued that some added value for the Cadh players is long overdue - after all, cash play is the largest segment of players on the Site - by a VERY long way, so they deserve to be looked after, too.

    i think a few dym games could be a one off rebuy boost the prizepool and also i think there would be quite a few players from cash and tournis giving this format a try with the prizepool getting quite big

    Surely cash players pay more in rake than STT and MTT players so why not reward them more.

    Then they just say, every DYM that starts within the hour, or every DYM that finishes within the hour,  gets 50 percent bonus.  It's not rocket science.

    Double points week.   Treble points Tuesdays.  Rake free weekend.   Win "x" amount in a row and win ... X ..

    Anything ...  that will get SitnGo games more popular. !

    Maybe even a new SitnGo format,  e.g 12 players.  Top 4 get paid.

    Good ideas there mate!

    I have promoted countless times on this forum for 18 seater SNG to come back, Scary or normal im pretty sure they would be good. but obviously not as a promotion would need something like double points for week or the others suggestions as above

    as an extra point the most fun i've had playing poker online recently have been on another site:

    they have turbo 180man tourneys/ 90/45/18 , although we probably wouldnt get 180 going im sure 45 or 18 would become popular if they were speed or even hyper 2 mins blinds. I gurantee ppl will love them
