This is similar to something I wrote in my thread about improvements to the site. In general I think the overall "player rewards" package could be a lot better. Personally I can't be bothered about the smaller freerolls but I used to like the bigger one on a Wednesday night & even when it was a £500 pool it was quite good.

Whatever happened to the Poker Project freeroll? or the sky poker project come to that? My nearest venue is leicester.... 20 miles away

yeah bigger freerolls would be great lets be honest £4 FOR WINNER NOT REALLY WORTH IT

T o be fair to Sky most sites give you something for your player points but take them away at end of month, Sky don't do this which is why your points are adding up which aint a bad thing.

I would also like bigger freerolls as they would be played more seriously by players.

Does anyone agree that SKYPOKER should have some form of merchandise store where we can actually spend our poker points or even better tournaments that we can buy in to???

I think there are only 4 regular freerolls (£20 prizepool) throughout the day and the weekly £250 prizepool on a wednesday, shoulnt there be alot more freerolls for us loyal skypoker users? What does everybody think?...

Most definatley sky should entise more players by giving people more chance to play and win bigger prizes min freerolls. I wuouldnt waste my time or effort playing for peanuts but do spent sufficient money on this site so why not get rewarded?

IRISHROVER wow looks like your doing well for yourself buddy well played. what advice could you give to people playin MTT? And also what is your single biggest win...and for that matter anyone had a massive win on SkyPoker?
Posted by Jimmy8

jimmy my best win was 300 in a freeroll, my best advice is when u get ak or aq or aj etc, in the proper poker game [mtt deepstack ] in the early to mid stages of the tournement dont raise up preflop . u wont waste chips or push yourself in to follow up bluff betting if u miss the flop . but if flop comes good,  you have disguise your starting cards and in good position to win some chips . in the later stages these starting cards should be used for raising up preflop to steal the blinds.

kind regards

I think that sky should have some kind of VIP store which works in the same way as pokerstars, where you earn points and you can cash them in for cash, products and freerolls and have some kind of tier system like most the major sites have which where you have to earn points to move up the VIP ladder starting as bronze then silver and gold etc. I dont see the point of the sky poker league because if you have a job its near impossible to place in the cash places. points for cash is ok however now that sky poker is becoming a major player with internet pokersite in the UK I think that the VIP and freerolls deserve a massive change.

What about a Reunion Freeroll for all of the entrants to the spukt grand final!

TENOFSPADE

MY POKER POINTS R MOUNTING INTO THOUSANDS THOUGHT THEY MIGHT B EXCHANGEABLE FOR SKY POKER MERCHANDISE BUT CAN ONLY USE THEM  IN FREEROLL TOURNYS I THINK IM EARNIN MORE POKER POINTS THAN I CAN ACTUALLY USE IN A WEEK?SKY POKER USED 2 DO A POKER POINT SIT N GO SATELLITE 4 THE PRIMO ANY CHANCE OF INTRODUCING THIS BACK ON THE SITE ?UR THOUGHTS GUYS??

I think there should definately be a weekly premium freeroll or 2.  Something with a large playerpoints buy in, and some daily playerpoint satellites feeding into it.  There was one on ladbrokes with something in the region of 25k prize pool that ran weekly with many freeroll satellites feeding it, and it was always nice to have something useful to aim for with the player points I had.  I reached it a couple of times through the satellites, and the times I didn't - I lost my player points but still felt pleased that I'd used them toward something worthwhile.  On here I seem to be (like a lot of others I've noticed) just gaining more and more player points because I can't be bothered to spend 10 of them fighting 800 other people over a pool of £20.

Oh yea and also the freeroll on a wednesday night (£250 prizepool) used to be 4 times greater (£1000) why has this changed and should they change it back?

There should be 1 more freeroll and that should be at ten pm and the pots could be bigger ie 100 or even 50 cos I started with nothing and won some and that lead me into putting money in my account

baconc87

I don't neccessarily mind the £20 prize money daily Freerolls as they are, because I think the freerolls work best as a way for newer players to get some tournament practice in without risking any real money. Some more 'special occasion' ones with bigger prizes for bigger entries would be nice of course. There was one to coincide with one of the big horse races a few months back I think, that's about all I remember.

I think the points to be exchanged for merchandise isa great idea. I also think Fella666 is correct!

oynutter

no way--definately not-- the 20 quid freerolls are the best thing ever invented on any poker site in the whole world ever!!--whoever thought of them should be promoted to managing director--seven hundred players fighting for a share of 20 quid is brilliant--the only possible way to improve on them would be to increase the time to 30 minute blind levels ---players could then forget about paying to enter silly 400 grtd tournaments altogether--fantastic!!!! well done sky!

   ps-once i came 42nd and won 11 pence--i was so delighted with my 2 hours work i gave up my job and turned professional--i have never looked back since! why do people get up every flippin morning to go to work??--its just stupid --when all they have to do is open a sky account, save up a few valuable points and join the best players in the world on the sky freeroll tables!!!! unbelievable init?

Hi Jimmy.  The added time question was under discussion in another thread and it's largely the fact that we look to get the Open finished within the 3 hour TV schedule that determines the amount of time given to players.  Good decison, bad decision, what do you think?
Posted by Sky_Des

any chance of having timebank capabilities for cash then?

How about a loyalty freeroll - reward the players who are constantly playing on Sky Poker - I play nearly every night as I'm sure do a lot of others.

mary611

definetly more freeroll with more cash think money there making with 5 pnd for winner out off like 300 people not good enough

king_flush

i enter the freeroll every nite that im on think they should put the prizepools back 2 what they used 2 b that was £100 £50 and £1000 weekly on wednesday why did they put the prize pools down?

D_O_A

Tikay i agree , and also , why dont you move the apay games here to sky poker ???

EDKENT123

i think the better option on the free rolls, would be to cut the cash out. rather than say top 60 reduce to top 10..... the freerolls can be like bingo to start with.. it would reward the players who PLAY poker rather that 2 7 all in type of players

i dont get it when i first started to use the site there was less players and bigger freerolls now they have more players and less prze money?????????????????????????????? and i never recieve any promotions through the postany more

jon53

fella 666, thats the way to go, good ideas on all fronts, i totally agree with all ur ideas and suggestions.  too add to what u have stated, prehaps there is to many paid places at the lower end of the payouts and there should be a minimum of say 15pence and ajust the payments @ 5p increments and cut the paid places accordingly

Sky_Des

There is lots of good feedback here everyone.  I will be discussing this topic with our marketing and tournament people to see what can be done for you.  Give us a little time to get back as this is right in the middle of holiday season, but we'll try and find a way to offer you some more value.

I would like the Skybet staff to become Christians to assure us people that worry;
that there is no need to worry, otherwise they would have (know about) reason to
worry.  They've removed my chat facility for inappropriate language, but i feel
their casino is inappropriately as tight as a ducks bum and the poker is often
monsters vs monsters as if they need the tourneys to end sooner. The final
straw - for them not me, was for calling someone a "nob" for trying to tell me
someone else won the darts, and not the dude i bet on (who won) and they
didnt bother to pay me.  erm, im not sure if saying nice things about them
can improve anyones luck...but i want to warn as many people as possible
that this site is rubbish and its run by rubbish seemingly...

Now i play on Skybet only, i leave the other sections because i dont think they
like me and enjoy me losing.
GLA and all the best

ps. sorry to repeat this if u already read it elsewhere...
pps. in answer to this topics question, i think that after your free 500pts have
all gone, find a decent online poker site to play at.  This obviously excludes
Skypoker!
