just thought i'd give sky a little mention as they gave me £20 yesterday as it was my birthday.
all i had to do was deposit £20 into my account,which i did.
it's not very often that i or many others have good things to say about sky poker so on this occasion i thought that it was worth the mention.

    Happy birthday for yesterday and congratulations on the £20 bonus.

    It was my birthday in august and sky gave me a £5 bonus which i was very happy with at the time but now i've seen your bonus i'm thinking i've been the victim of a cleric error.

    Surely sky value all of their customers equally and i can expect the second part of my bonus to arrive in the next couple of days.

    I'll be looking out for the e-mail.  ;-)

    achill

    ps well done with your dym grind.

    Do Sky do this for all players, or is it based on recent Cash 4 Points etc., as I recieved nothing on my birthday (but did receive a £5 deposit bonus over the weekend)?

    It is not done for ALL players - no.

    It is a gift, & as such, they give it voluntarily, & it is not part of any Terms & Conditions.

    I'm guessing there will be a VERY complicated algorithm to work out "Birthday Bonuses"  It'll be something like..... 

    How long on the site + (net deposits-net withdrawals)+ rake paid+C4p (- No. of tourney victories) +posts on the community (minus bad beat posts!) DIVIDED by age next birthday+ factor depending which area of the country you live in. (e.g. There will be a rather large London "Weighting" allowance).   ;-))

    Lol well this is a pretty stupid reply.

    I've earned sky thousands and thousands of pounds over the years, been in the priority club for roughly 2 of the last 2 and a half years.  I slip out of the priority and instead of recieving £50 like priority members, i recieve nothing.  Well not nothing, a free £5 if i deposit £5.  Why would i deposit £5 ???

    I then find out other people are receieving greater sums .  e.g Dev  £20

    I'm pretty sure Dev has never been in priority and creates much less rake than i do for Sky.

    When in priority i was very greatful to recieve my £50 bonus last year, and was very greatful to recieve a nice gift around xmas time.   
    But...     If i was in Tesco and a nice lady was handing out £20 notes to people (Who shop less than me), and then gave me only £5.   I would soon shop elsewhere .  Catch my drift.

    Well yeah, definitely a fair point from your point of view. In my previous post, I was more referring to the people who get £5 and are generally small recreational players. Like I got £5 on my birthday once, and I wouldn't complain because it's just money for nothing and I pay a pretty small amount in rake, but yeah if it's a tough one if you're spending much more on rake.

    But on the flip side, as Tikay said, it's not in any Ts & Cs and is all discretionary so no-one knows how they work it out, or even if there's a system, and it's free money after all.

    EDIT: Didn't know you got a little Xmas pressie + £50 on your birthday for being in priority :P  Something to look forward to I guess lol... when I've moved up the levels in cash, I should find it alot easier to make priority.
