Cash Promo
Was speaking to a REG lastnight about this promo and both agreed that it doesnt do the site any justice during this time.
4+ regs to every table playing 10+ tables tight as hence why idont play happy hour anymore due to the action bein well yea way to tight.
I thought it would be a good promo if it was based on hands won this is where the action would be created and opening up alot of tables wouldnt be as big of a help unless you were to open up your range of course.
Duno what other regs or players think of this current promo but i personally love promos just not the current format of the one happening.

3 in 30 days just lol.
Its rubbish.
I wont name other sites but they are far better in there rewards or promotions,I know they have say 15.000 seated but it seems to me (right or wrong) that sky does not reward regs as much,The last 6/7 years they have done wsop for winners of the vegas torn, this year nothing!!
Sky make a mint out of it which is why they do it.
And the fact these "promo's" are only suited to skill set of 0.1% of the site makes them rewards NOT promo's as they do NOTHING to attract new players.
If anyone wants to suggest a promotion that would suit them, do please make some suggestions.
Sadly .
2...Promote the site by playing 10 handed games rather than just 6 handed,I like 6 handed but i do play other sites as they have better 10 handed games with far better prize pools so maybe if you did 10 handed youd get more players.
treble* it if they can get 1,000xbb on 2 tables @ once.
More for 3.
Prizes relative to cash level ofc.
May encourage some collusion (dumping), but this should be easy enough to spot and withdraw the prize but keep their rake
When we had the league(which reset every 3 months)there were 38,000-40,000 aliases on it.60 players at most (as some play more than one tier so less) can benefit from "promo".Of the player pool which is supposed to be bigger now how many don't play cash,have not got x amount of hours a day to play or are not able to play 4+ tables min which excludes or gives no incentive to play to the majority.
If there were such a deep player pool with a chance of doing well why can you copy & paste the top places from the ones before & before that.So where are the new players brought in by the "promo"?
And if you can't see the problem doing the same "promo" 3 times since the 24th of May that does not encourage anyone to play other than cash grinders ,well what can i say.
Edit : See you re-worded reply but stick with this to earlier one & later
Belsibub, we do have many other promos too.
What additional promotions would you like?
I think if you do a thread on this you will get a good few ideas,Im wondering about maybe winners of the main and mini torns go into a monthly freeroll with a gtd of about 5k?.I think this would be great tv viewing aswell as all the players would be monthly winners of the main or mini .As for cash bonus rewards maybe you could also do best post of the month and winner gets into sky roller?
Lastly regards c4p i think its really hard to please all but i suggest you try and benefit the smaller stake players with maybe a league basis aswell as there cash bonus ie top 30 get extra cash payout so for instance 1st gets 200.00 2nd 100.00 3rd 50.00 down to 10th gets 10.00 then 11th to say 30th gets between £3-£7 as an extra bonus.
If you want to stand out, post engaging and rivetting content. You don't need to shout through the screen to get everyones attention, it just... ugh.
As far as the promo goes, it's obvious that with the departure of a few regs off to Vegas, Sky are trying to keep the numbers from dropping with a cheap and simple promo, so they still make decent dolla over the summer.
Is it going to affect how many tables I play, for an extra £400? No.
Do I feel like there are better promos out there that would cost just as much, if not less, with a more desirable result for Sky? Yes.
Will the promotion ultimately accomplish what Sky are trying to achieve? Meh, roughly. Yeah.
Reduced rake weekends
Double rewards point weeks (or days or even hours)
Something to make sure virtually everybody can gain apart from the very few players who play loads of cash tables for hours on end.
Rake race max hand type promo's are clearly aimed at a certain type of player.The average reg/rec may try to compete but will soon realise the pointlessness of this and not bother in the future.This might reduce rec traffic in the long run if every table is populated by the same players cash or stt.So running the same thing over & over might be bad just my opinion.
As for new idears ummm.
I read other player suggesting more for stt's i think a % win rate over a certain amount of games say 100 in a week or 500 in a month.Or the same with roi.
Can't think of anything else but will comment on past things i liked and review what's in promo page as it pertains to me.
Not sure if classed as promo's but do get people on to the site and i usually played more at those times.
So liked T.K.O ,Premiership and other team events and Golden Ticket.
1st week liked Syndicate Freeroll.After the removal of the original stake from the total the bet seems superfluous unless the odds are dramatically increased in the choices plus the change to a timed tourney not to my taste.May i suggest rotating the tourney format standard,timed,bounty hunter then omaha.
As for the rest of the freerolls used to play them a lot but not anymore.To many sats & turbos,tried the turbos again not for me.
As for everything else on promo page Sky Poker Rewards good and the rest are not applicable to me.Don't play cash,mains or Wednesday.
Just spitballin'.
