    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?

    I think that this is a reasonable decision and personally I like the ammount of time givien however for larger bets (percentage wise to the total chip stack) it would be great to have a option for extra time that gets higher and higher the larger the bet (particuarly useful in tourney play). Just something to think about but a very admirable feature that other sites use but naturally Sky Poker is still the best!

    haha too true JPDERRY! 5p for an hours graft not worth it. How many points does everyone actually have saved up then? Grimstar30? Gills? Are we talking thousands?

    I started playing poker only three weeks ago and I enjoy playing the freerolls.  However, I agree with most of the suggestions put forward for improving the prize structure and tournament frequency.  Doubling the prize money on all freerolls, but reducing the number of winning places to, say, 25, would make the time and mental effort spent playing more rewarding. 

    I'd also like to see the last freeroll moved forward to around 10.30 or 11.00, or at least another one added at this time.  I work from 8.00am to 6pm, so by the time I get home I can just catch the 7.00pm game, but the midnight tournament is too late for me I'm afraid!  The Wednesday night 'big one' is just nicely timed.

    Incidentally, I totally agree with Edkent123.  The early stages of a freeroll are a lottery at times with the 2-7 all-in players.  Although they're usually easy to see off, I much prefer the more thoughtful type.

    As i won the old £1000 freeroll it was worth my while as i got £200.00 for coming 1st out of 893 players ! But now the Wednesday night one is only £60 for 1st and is hardly worth the effort!Bring back the £1000 freeroll and i'm sure everyone will agree!

    I think 4 freerolls in one day is enough. I would like to see something else to use the points, for example, entry into sit n gos and tournaments.  cheers Piva

    Hi All, I have an idea that the suits should look at!! Freeroll Bounty tour, so we all can have the chance of getting something for freeroll events even if we dont make it into the cash payouts. THis way more people can get the chance too play bounty events, help increase there bankrole. Tikay, have a chat with suits and if they find it of interest with good prize money no harm in giving it a go. Thanks ChubChaser

    i think that you are correct in what you are saying if this point could be taken more into account with the sky poker team this would be great, please give us more free rolls with bigger prizepools
    thanks

    Definitely agree with a Skypoker merchandise store where you can trade your points for goods. Some American site did it with pokerchips, caps etc. I've been playing Skypoker since it first started and accumulated over 40k worth of points which would take me 3 lifetimes to get through on the freerolls. Better reward for the loyal players please. 

    Cheers

    A lot of people seem to have a lot of poker points building up. Apart from earning monthly bonuses they are pretty much redundant. Only very occasionally can they be used for anything constructive like for satellites into tournaments etc. Can Sky please set up a regular system for use of poker points such as entry into tournaments or exchange them for cash or prizes?

    What does everyone else think?

    In Response to Should there be more FREEROLLS on SKYPOKER and also FREEROLLS with a bigger prize pool? : Hi Jimmy, you Ok? I think it's fair to say that Sky Poker do try very hard to look after their loyal players. News in today is that from June 1st, they have doubled some of the Cash for Points incentives. Details are here...... http://www.skypoker.com/pokerpoints/ Everyone who plays on Sky Poker qualifies, you just have to Register.

    Having accrued so many poker points  and with so few low point freerolls , it will take me many many months to use them up. 

    So how about a  monthly hi stakes points freeroll say 500 pt entry limited to 500 players for £500 prize pool SKY,  

    Also what every happened to the STT (winner takes all entry into a featured MTT) that used to eat up hundred of player points, and give regular low stakes players the chance to take on the big boys and find a rising STAR player from the SKY community,  who cant fork out the higher buy ins -- ANY thoughts ppl

    Freerolls are good, I reckon we could do with an extra one added at either 9pm, or 10pm in the evening. More money would be nice as it does feel like your doing alot of work for peanuts. On full tilt the top 27 places are paid, $2 being the minimum payout, it would be good to see more money in the freerolls on sky. Maybe start payouts for top 20, money starting from £0.50 or £1.00?

    I think what we need is another free-roll which is a £50-£100 one but only runs once a day, then you have 3 levels the £20 ones all day £50-£100 once a day and weekly ones aswell.

    yep royal blue with the logo skypoker, in addition to your earlier question about the scrath cards i havent recieved one of thoses for about 4 months or more, all i get is promotions about skyvegas,err hello, i dont play the slots that often, mainly play poker, i my opion skypoker are making you earn your rewards by collecting 500 poker points for a fiver, hence the lack of scrath cards.

    I agree with fella666 about to many freerolls during the day. Why not cut one out and share the money between the remaining freerolls.
