Made 30128 points last month and recieved £1289. The same amount of points used to be £1580.
Can anyone explain how they come to this and tell me what effect 'rewards' has made to happy hours please?

The £1289 would be rakeback on the total rake you've paid at a rate of 30%. So you paid roughly £4297 in rake last month.
Had Sky continued to offer no loyalty bonus to those players (while other sites do) traffic in the cash games would gradually dry up from the bottom upwards, eventually leaving nothing for the grinders to fight over.
The new rakeback scheme is (imo) much fairer, spreading the wealth around and giving lower volume players additional moneyz.
Although, I think there should be another tier in the current rakeback system to encourage those who put in mass volume to do on a regular basis. Maybe 40k points for 35%, and 50k points for 40%, etc.
Pains me that I didn't take advantage of a sexy RB set-up, with the new one probably taking a few grand off my quarterly nut, but it's for the best, so long as Sky make the most of the extra dolla.
It's so it attracts net depositors who fund the cash games all over the world.
Giving them a little bit more where eventually if you are a winning player you will win this off them.
so...sometimes DTM we gotta look at the bigger picture and not just how much rakeback we get.
I don't mind giving up a little bit of rakeback if it increases the player pool by x%.
Ryan i see you giving DTM hard time as he was on NL4 actually 19 tables when i looked and i know the reason this is as this promo is different from the last it suits players who just open up alot of tables and basically fold fold fold so its either 50nl or 4nl to win £300 kinda obvious what he and alot of other players have been doin and thats jsut dropping down to nl4 and opening a crazy number of tables which makes sense of course.
I think the issue most people have is it seems to be old ground we keep going over and over and over......
I'm not having a go at DTM or the many others who are doing it, but if you win at 20NL, that's better than winning at 4NL, there's no reason to start folding for a week at a low level, it doesn't make you start winning more, it makes you win less.
