I thought it was going to be £833.  It was £880 before c4p was replaced.

Thanks for the help!

    It all depends on which type of games you're playing. Beyond 20k points, it's 25% rakeback but in MTT's and SNG's you are getting 10 points per £1 raked. During happy hours you also get extra points per pound raked.

    That means you'll get more points having paid less rake for MTT's and SNG's and during happy hours. Since the percentage is calculated on total rake now, not total points, there's a drop-off in the value of the points beyond the 10k points mark. Beyond that mark the only value of the points is to get you to the next rakeback level.

    Sorry if that's not clear but essentially the £719 will be 25% of the total rake you've paid.

    The £300 or so you win from the promos every other week, makes up for it imo.

    Just got mine. Was a bit worried I wasn't signed up to it or something as I was playing on the site until about 10.30 this morning and it hadn't been credited. Only got about £3.84 I think, but it is encouraging me to play more.

    I do find it funny that on a 30p DYM game you get 1 point and on a £5.50 you get 5 points. The equivalent would be about 18 points.

    i think you dont fully understand how points are given out. its on the fees paid not the amount that goes to the tourney prizepool.

    a 30p dym is 25p + 5p in fees or rake. its this 5p that gets you a point. for every £1 in fees you would get 10 points so 5p should generate 0.5 points but is rounded up by SKY as they dont deal in part points. so a £5.50 dym you pay 50p in fees which equates to 5 points which is doesnt need rounded up

    ur rewards are paid out based on your ACTUAL rake, not your points, the earlybird promotions and happy hours are only there to help boost your points to reach the next tier of rakeback....cheers for letting us know sky.... i had to go thru priority to find this out

    fwiw altho sky do take our rake/rewards seriously theres no way we can actually know how much 'rewards' we are due to receive as beyond 10k points its only as a % of actual rake, and only they know that
