Cash 4 points boost for DYM plyers

edited September 2012 in Poker Chat

Ive noticed that cash players get alot more than DYM players ie, the early bird promotion fro 50% more cash 4 points and also the sky happy hour which gives the same, why dont DYM players get the same??

Ive been wondering it for ages, why cant sky give the same 4 DYM players as alot of regs grind the dyms to get cash 4 points and sky are forgetting or choosing to ignore such players and giving all the incentives to cash play!!

There is no poker leauge any more so i think sky should start giving DYM players more rewards as in early bird for ppl who play DYMS early on with a 50% cash 4 points boost and maybe even doing a DYM happy hour - i think alot of players would really like the thought of that and it would be great if sky could act on it :)

    hi summerjade,
    having played cash nl4 & dym,dym is without doubt the better of the 2  for building c4p each month.
    agree it would be nice if sky introduced similar happy hours 4 dym but i'm not sure if it will ever happen.

    ty dev i think alot of players would want this i dont see why sky cant do the same 4 us, all dyms that start in the happy hour should qualify for 50% cash 4 points bonus or the early bird b4 a certain time of day x

    Agree and do feel that DYM players are never treated the same as cash players, cash players get most of the perks, DYM players seem to get overlooked.....

    From a player side I do totaly agree with you. I do play about 15% of my play on DYM but I prefer to stick to the 33 and 55.

    With my business hat on I am not sure it would make financial argument to sky. The problem is of course in cash they are getting a rake in from every hand which with so many tables going at cash at any one time the promations I imagine make it financialy ok to do these promos but not sure it would work on the time it takes on DYM

    I would suggest maybe a special promo for DYM away from c4p may be the answer to get players like me to spend more on STG

    Back to my player hat of course I want a lot better promos like a lot of the sites

    Yep totally agree with this, if there is bonus for cash there should be bonus for DYM, the more you play the more the reward, better for players and better for Sky, i think the bonus or happy hour would pay for itself as it would surely attract more players.

    you guys should be pushing a rake reduction to make the games more beatable rather then for an extra bonus

    Exactly this......the promo is to get you playing more hands so sky gets more rake....it makes sense....at least with dym you don't pay a percentage of every hand you play win or lose...I would imagine once a cash player accounts for rake paid there wouldn't be a big difference?

    totally agree gina, we defo need some sort of perk for grinding away on the dym tables, i`ve heard quite a few players say they ain`t bothered with grinding anymore as there is no incentive for them, good luck with this gina!!

    that is not the point, the point is''there's been 4 happy hours for months now for all cash tables, and not one given for DYM players, surely a bonus is a bonus and we are being discriminated against. bonus for one, bonus for all, i shouldn't have to play cash tables to get this, we all play for cash

    the points to rake isnt equal across the disciplines. this means cash players pay more rake per point earned than what sng/mtt players do. til the rake has equal values i guess there is always going to be this debate.

    i do think there should be some sort of promo for dym sng players but i dont know what exactly

    But, SKY has a C4Ps system that pays out for how much cash is put into each game, they still take rake from DYM players at 10% or more in some case. that system stayed the same for years, last year SKY started throwing in HAPPY HOURS if you played on CASH TABLES only, as i've said, BONUS FOR ONE, BONUS FOR ALL

    Its not the rake thats the problem though, if we got the extra C4P boost, the odds get wider anyway for the people grinding, but with a boost it might bring players back to DYM tables

    yes but we dont earn the points at the same rate. yes you are charged 10% for a game, we lose 5% of each pot the see a flop in general, its 7.5% at nl4 to nl10 i think 

    cash points is given every 20 hands and the number of points per 20 increases as the levels do. i play nl10 so i earn 3 points per 20 that is raked. within those 20 hands i could contibute £1 rake but i earn 3 points. where as in a dym the rake equates to 10 points per £1. so where i earn 3 points for £1 in rake you would earn 10 points for the £1 rake. the rate isnt the same as how each of us earn them.
