    very disappointing this excludes tournament players, i feel that there is very little out there promo wise for players who only play tournaments. Its about time sky offer tournament tickets in exchange for excess poker points....

    You have to realise that Sky make so much more money from cash games than tournements hence why cash games offer better promos, from a business point of view they cannot be blamed at all.

    well just noticed it says you need to play cash but you only need to gain a few points playing cash then you have some tickets.

    what`s the saying you gotta be in it to win it!

    Very true.
    But why make it cash only in the first place.
    We have recently had several rake races which of course are cash only.
    The last time the golden ticket promo ran, It was for everybody so why not this time?

    Surprised you think that. In case you hadn't seen, we have:

    - The Final Table Jackpot which has payed many thousands of pounds out
    - Several Freerolls every day
    - Tournaments can have overlay which is free value
    - UKOPS is coming again soon
    - SPT events all year round
    - The Syndicate Freeroll each week
    - The monthly Super Roller
    - Various MTT prizes given away on facebook and twitter
    - The upcoming Sky Poker Premiership
    - A good deal on Sky Poker reward points
    - etc...

    MTT players probably get more than most to be fair.

    And before someone mentions STT players :) ....

    There is a big overlap between MTT and STT players, so many will have taken advantage of the above. We've also done promos for STT players too.

    However,, as ever, if anyone has any ideas for promotions whether it be cash, tournaments or Sit & Gos feel free to feed them through to us.

    Thanks

    Think you misunderstand - what we are saying is that a lot of STT players also play MTTs too and so take part in these promotions and offers.

    Try not to think of yourself or anyone as just a cash player/mtt/stt. All games are open for everyone to use. If YOU CHOOSE to play STT then that's up to you. I'd take this opportunity to play a bit more cash and improve at the area of poker, while also collecting tickets and a chance of winning £500.

    Funnily enough the last 2 days I've actually been playing cash again, I didn't even see this promo until this morning, so it's perfect timing for me :-)

    Love would be a bit strong.

    The best word would be - 'tolerate'  ;)
