Lower tier 1st places wins £500, or the equivalent of 50 buy-ins. Upper tier 1st place wins £875, or the equivalent of 8.75 buy-ins. #seemslegit Novembers' King of Cash promo had a superior, balanced pay-out structure imo, and seeing as you're trying to incentivise people to play as much and as high as possible (with more rake being generated the higher up you go), it seems like a bizarre decision made by someone who probably doesn't really understand why the structure is flawed. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Previous payouts in November were really good, not to mention I don't think it's particularly fair to announce this promo 1/3 of the way through the month. Not trying to hate on what is already a great promo, just sayin'. Posted by Smitalos
agree the payout for lower stakes tier compared to the higher stakes tier is laughable
Just seen the cash champ promotion on the site their now and i noticed that 50nl is classed as being in the upper tier surely this must be a mistake and it should be in the middle tier. I finished 8th i think it was in the last kings of cash promotion in October playing 50nl and it was classed as the middle tier back then.
This puts the 50nl players at a big disadvantage as they wont be able to compete with the likes of style etc on top of the pots every week etc. So a 50nl player will actually earn less through this promotion than someone playing at the lower stakes. Eg i could play 50nl and min cash around the 40th mark for £17 or i could play 5p-10p finish 1st and win £500.
Ahhh - now I understand why every nl10 table I sat at last night was joined by a load of solid (ie better than me) regs / was already full of aforementioned regs.
Given their presence at the lower games, I'm not torn whether to join this and try for the low end of the leaderboard - or see it as a two week window to take my shot at NL20 while most of the better players are absent... decisions decisions.
GL to all those gunning for the top spots, very nice bonus for lower stakes players!
My name's in third... Testament to my laggy, spewy session last night. lol I will relish the moment I was ahead of TINTIN in a rake race. I wasn't even planning to have much of a go at this. Posted by BorinLoner
lol, i have no intention of trying for this. seeing my name so high up just shows how few have put the code in.
doesnt count rake for this it reports back to old system Borin Posted by bolly580
This really needs clarifying immediately. If you're right then I really can't be bothered with this promotion but Tikay's post on the other page implies that this may not be correct.
I'd like to believe that the promo page is wrong. I think it probably is, to be fair, because my C4P's went up in line with weighted contribution, not the per 20 raked hands system.
lol i made 7 points on cash table so seing me in 22 makes me laught people will wait till the very end to reg there names for this so theres no point to a table as will not show it right should only count the points after the code is entered make it fair Posted by ckd
In Response to Re: Cash Champ - The OFFICIAL Leaderboard : its not fair otherwise see your name near the top and then the last day your not even in the top 20 think sky need to make it fair before it goes to far in and make it that only points made after the promo code has been put in count or it is cheating Posted by ckd
thats a strong word to use. it cant be that if its all legit and is in their terms and conditions.
i do however believe that the time to enter the code is too long. the kings of cash limit was 2/3thirds of the way in. maybe they should followed the same kind of template and made it 10 days into the 14 to be allowed to enter. after all no one had notice that this promo was running at all til after it began

not really it is cheating if it is run like that
you earn 2000 points and have sat in 1st place all the way through then on the last day you check and you are sat in 40th everyone above you is new to the list and you have gone through the whole time being told that you are in 1st place then to find you was not because others have only reg there score at the end....it is cheating thought as it is cheating the people that have reg the promo... i know its not in the tc and im not saying the people who dont reg till last day are doing anything wrong,there working an angle to get an edge but it is very wrong for sky to allow it to go like that

are these two statements not a contradiction?
to be cheating they have got to break the rules, so what rule would they be breaking?
also what angle could they be working as no list of points are available only positions, its guess work on everyones behalf
