Well do players who accrue a larger number of points not deserve something in return?
Yes, there is the monthly cashback, weekly league freeroll. But thats it. The points are removed for the cashback bonus anyways.
Players who gain more points deserve something. It doesn't matter if they make a living from poker or whether they have plenty of money.
If you cannot see that then I give up.
And to whoever mentioned the recession.....oh please.....have you not seen the free play area?
For bigger players like yourself, maybe have freerolls where its 500 points for £1000 prize pool?
And then maybe something in the middle also, like 100 to 200 points entry?
I just think it would be good if sky catered for all types of player, casual & pro.

THINK FREEROLLS SHOULD BE WHAT THEY SAY, FREE!!!!.WHY ARE THEY NOT:WHY DO U NEED POINTS?
I consider myself a fair player, my bankroll was down to £3.90 from £5.00, I the proceeded to win 1 tourney and finish second in one the day after, so must be doing something right, however varience as ususal kicks in and even though I have the best hands fate outdraws me, but thats poker even though yes I played properly for instance, In poss with AJ I raise 8XBB get 1 caller flop AJ4 Rainbow, I put my oponent on Poss AK AQ maybe AA or mid pair, so I raise he goes all in I still figure Im ahead and call, the cards go on there back, I have two pair Aces and Jacks he has Q 4 Off turn blank, river 4, now with the best will in the world when this continualy happens it dont take long for the bankroll to diminish again pdq there is nothing that can be done, but smile and carry on till its all gone or luck turns again, ususually the first.
Then where to go when you only have 35 points and the Freeroll is 50? you cant, you havewait till nect time you can put some money in and maybe, hopefully, possibly get some more points.
I think tikay sums it up best in another thread, poker is for the people, not just for those with deep pockets, so come on sky let us smaller people have a freeroll we can afford.
First of all, I would say Sky are doing a far..FAR better job of listening to their customers/community, and the recent changes to freerolls are generally I would think, very welcome.
To those posting outright disparaging comments to those needing freerolls..I mean come on...no need?
To balance it, there are certainly those on here looking for free payouts and using almost any excuse for self gain compared to community gain - which is what the freerolls are or should be about.
Neither extreme viewpoint usually works, and bear in mind Skypoker is a profit making business - not a charity.
Playing poker, while much fun, and certainly more skill based than other forms of gambling, it is still a gamble, and dependant on tourny, almost verging on bingo/lottery status. Freerolls certainly go into my lottery category.
Please, go a middle road and play poker for fun. Don't rely on freerolls to get you going, just think of them as a bonus. Freerolls are just a bit of fun and a lottery. If you get lucky so be it, but depending on them in order to actually play - and then complain about them - just says to me you may want to think about whether you can afford to gamble in the first place.
Poker is fun, but never forget it is gambling, and only play what you can afford to lose.
Peace out.
I got 3715 points accrued what can I spend them on???? - I am not playing for prize pools that dont meet the minimum wage requirements for a place. Penguin 7 mentioned he has 40,000 points - has he managed to spend them on anything yet?
Sky I know you are trying to get better but is it enough?? not for me as yet - try harder lol
And TK i not forgiven you for busting my pp with your A Hi push lol
