    Not happy about this promo. I have grinded loads this month and made priority in the first 10 days. Now this promo comes along and sky priority players are not allowed to enter it which I think is wrong. If id of known this was gonna be the case I wouldn't of bothered grinding last month all seems a waste of my time and effort really.

    really what would you rather the chance of a ps4(for which u will have too play alot of volume) or the chance too win two(priority) tourneys worth a lot more than a ps4?

    We already have 2 PS4's and 1 XBOXONE in our house lol. How about matching othe rsites promos? Like the £10'000 promo on the 8's site. A PS4 lol, that thing only costs £350.

    WE COULD NOT GIVE A 4 XXXX FOR YOUR *** so goodbye and have a good day!!!

    Luke H: Ok Ben, the reason you are unable to join this promotion is due to you previously having been in the priority poker club. The offer terms any Priority poker club member cannot take part I'm afraid.

    Happy new year all.
    I am a low stakes player, and i get between 2000 - 3000 points per month.
    How many more points do you think i will need to be in with a fighting chance.
    To all the people moaning about another promotion, its free to enter and if anyone should be moaning it should be priorty club members.
    Lets have a year of positive posts and happy players.
    All the best

    Hey rainman i think to still be in top 10 youd still need around the 20k mark to be honest.

    I say you would get in the top 50 with 5k points but just a rough guess of course.

    LOL @ the internet sometimes.

    But yeah fantastic promo and really hope some semi-regs/recreational players step up and try and grab a PS4!

    I'm sure that the Priority team will come up with a promo to suit those players and tbh if you put in a decent amount of volume then the cost of the PS4 should easily be doable from a good month at the tables. 

    I think that Sky need to make it clearer tho that the high volume regs that everyone expects to storm this promotion will NOT be eligable and it will make more give it a shot.  

    I have 2 shows in the next week and will really be pushing this fact as a couple of my mates who aren't in Priority were suddenly hugely motivated to put in a big January now knowing that they have a decent shot.

    GL all :)

    Agree with all of this.

    Especially the part I have put in bold.  Like many people I saw the promo, smiled a lot and snap put in the code not realising until later that I was not eligible to enter it.  Also we have had plenty of people starting threads and posting in threads complaining that they are recreational players and have no chance of winning, some blasting SkyPoker in the same salvo.  While of course it is up to each of us to examine T & Cs carefully in reality a ton of people don't and if the target demographic for the promo was clearer then we wouldn't get all of these kneejerk reactions.  We'd get some obviously, just not as many.

    For the record I think a promo like this aimed at the recreational player pool is a fantastic idea.  I was a little bit disappointed when I posted before as I explained but hey, it's very important that different groups of the community have brilliant promos like this and that some of the groups are protected.

    It has made me order a PS4 online though now.  Don't tell the GF.

    Wait this says due to you PREVIOUSLY having been a priority member you cant enter. Surely that cant be right? Its onlly closed to current priority members was my understanding.

    Well, skipping over the curious case of the milk troll, an event I didn't see ever coming to be fair, this promo and the response has been interesting. I'll admit it, I was excited when I saw the promo then snap deflated when I saw Priority members were excluded.  But if I roll back my expectations twelve hours then I'm where I was so no biggie.  I do however think the opening line of the promo on the promo page is misleading, where it says 'all' players.  That should be changed.  I entered the code, it was accepted but clearly now I am not eligible. To be honest I don't get why Priority Members are excluded, it doesn't actually make too much sense to me.  Had this promo been marketed as such well in advance of the month then it would have made perfect sense.  Hey what do I know, maybe every single lapsed account has been sent an email and maybe a tone of new and returning players are really pumped and looking forward to this.  Good luck to them and everyone else going for this.  Should be a great race.

    In Response to Re: New PS4 promo!?! : Hey, I hope you and your kids enjoy purple milk, I also hope the fact they have to drink purple milk is not because you waste money on gambling sites. Surely you can afford the extra 50p?
    Posted by Dani_chik
    lol @ this. Maybe you waste your money on gambling sites but some of us don't spend a penny on them. That doesn't mean we won't be careful with our money. Everyone, no matter how rich they are likes a bargain. In fact some people are well off not because they have good job or w/e but solely because they are careful with their money and don't waste it on needless things.

    Now obviously if there is something terribly wrong with the purple milk then I'm sure whoever you were talking too would not buy it & would be able to afford a more expensive brand. But as far as he knows there is nothing wrong with it other than your vague hints.

    Did you make priority in November? I think if you made priority in either months you can't enter the promo.

    I'd say playing cash is your best chance, 6tabling 20nl for like 8hr fort say 20 odd days of the month might get you 10k points. That might get you a top ten but if not should be safe for top 50 which is still great value with 6 packages and only 40 runners
