    I know your not having a go with this post, as you've done the old smiley face thing :). But I think it's crazy all the "I have no chance, it's not fair" posts and comments I see. These guys are making crazy money for Sky, and Sky want to reward them, if you only make a few - couple of thousand points a month why would Sky just turn around and hand you a PS4? Last month was a really good promo IMO, only 50 points a day is very managable, and it kept people playing during the Christmas time. There were some great prizes out there, and EVERYONE had the potentional to win them. That was clear to see by the quantity of people in the freerolls.

    I've only made around 500 points this month, so I know I'm not in with a chance, but why should I when the top 10 boys have played 10x the amount as me... There seems to be a lot of "Well if he can have it, then why can't I have it" attitude in life nowadays and nobody seems prepared to work for it a lot of people expect things to be handed to them on a plate...

    hi flash your right im not moaning about who is at the top of the table but I think sky may have missed a opportunity here may be set diff criteria ie there giving a way 10 ps4 bundles great what a opportunity but why could they not do a top 10 then a free roll for another say 3 for top 100 then a single ps4 free roll for everyone who has entered who didn't get into the top 100 like you ,me and average joe.
    I know sky is a business and want to make plenty of money but if you know u have seriously got no chance of getting in the top 100 do u play more hands ?????
    no u go back to playing like you did before u thought u had a chance
    like I say I love the promo and cheers sky for doing them I just think it may be good if sky had thought about everyone who enters like me a recreational player who often gets may be 2/3 hours a day to stand a chance
    hope that's explained im sure people have gone over this a million times :-)
    and also im not one for moaning !!!!!!!!!!! lol

    This was such an easy promo to predict for the top 10 , 

    Players who do put in the hours do deserve there rewards but then again for those who play lower levels and still played 12 hour days every days they have actually got no hope , i did state that it would be players from nl100 and up.

    So for the rest its just to make the top 50 if they can.

    Alot of players will stop putting in the hours for this promo tho by looking at the points tally and who is in the top 10 and straight away see that they have no hope.

    Playing 10 hours nl50 wont even compete with someone doin 8 hours of nl100 eg.

    But great promo either way and ts good of sky to be adding all these good ones these past few months.

    Not really disagreeing with you but dontellmum kind of disproves this.
    Ok, he is  probably the exception rather than the rule. However, it does show they someone dedicated playing NL20 in the main can win these kind of promos.

    Hello all,

    I know this is a real grind for most players but please keep in mind that players 11-50 have a real great chance of winning a PS4 as they compete in a freeroll where the top 6 each win a PS4.

    There are also PS4 Freerolls scheduled for the last 2 weekends of the month that players will be able to participate in if they earn 300 and then 500 player points this month. 

    Going forward we have plans to run separate leaderboards depending on which reward group you are in.  So this leaderboard format will evolve in the coming months to give cash/prizes to various different kinds of customers.

    Cheers and thanks again for participating!
    Justin

    Lazy people shouting for prizes really annoys me.  They expect the same prizes as people who grind non stop.  

    I play low stakes, I compete with the highest stakes grinders and I occassionally win.  Why, because Im not lazy and I'm determined to win.  Stop moaning on here and grind!

    hi dontellmom
    I get what your saying here about grinding and I wish I could do more than I do but lets look at this from a business point of view I get the grinders will deserve the prizes
    sky on the other hand want the non grinders to put in extra volume to yes? but if they have very little chance of winning a top one hundred spot  this would u up your play? or stay the same?
    on the flip side im grateful of the grinders they do a important job for us little fish they keep the site going in there revenue :-)

    Hi chefboy.

    Im sure it would be very easy to make the top 100 and work a full time job.  Plus you could do 18 hour sessions on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Good luck to you sir.

    Sky withdraw the biggest rakers from this promo to try and help the players that rake less.  They have listened to all the complaints from the past and tried to do something about it.  So they move the goal posts slightly.  Now, the guys that just can't quite get there in this promo are starting to chirp that they can't win.

    What are sky supposed to do?

    Realistically i wont have a chance as i have a job and can only play a couple hours in te evening, but as above poster have said, they have taken out the loyalty members, otherwise this would have been over long time ago

    In the future perhaps having a "low stakes" and "high stakes" and "pirority" leaderboard might make everyone happy, just about

    Yeah thats a great idea Justin - I think you guys do a good job with your promo's you put thought into it and take in mind players opinion, I know how the industry works so i'd never complain obveously the biggest rake earners deserve the higher valued prizes that's common sense

    Couple of the names are actually in priority!? Am i right in assuming they didnt make 10k points last month? which means they get the benefits of staying in priority but also get to take part in and benefit from promotions that otherwise would exclude them!!?

    they'd have to structure it well. They can run a simple lower stakes prizes league but you'll get some sad acts that will actually drop 3-4 levels beneath their normal limits just because they know its easy money! This has happened in past promotions!

    Do you mean they made 10k in Dec or you mean they're usually Prio? What benefits of Prio are they getting? Cos if they have just missed out in Dec but been allowed to roll over (I've had this done once in the past) to the next month cos they've been in for a while and only just missed out, so they're still getting to play the Prio FRs and take part in the Prio promotion then that's not cool.

    This month its actually more beneficial not to be in priority imo (or should i say the bronze tier). The rake race looks like it has attracted some mid-higher stakes regs back to the site. What appeared to be a PS4 banked for 12k points now looks like 15k plus judging by early figures. So sky have done well out of this no doubt. 

    But anyone who normally gets 10-12k points per month has had a right raw deal out of this. The cash value of the PS4 plus rewards make the actual rakeback well in excess of 30% possibly 40% for some (bronze rakeback is 20%). 

    I have said this to the priority manager, and to exclude priority purely on the basis of December's reward points is frankly unfair. IMO sky should have looked back over the last 3 months (possibly more) and said that if you where in priority over this period then you do not qualify. I am not sure how this would affect the leaderboard but if skys intention was to get new grinders on board making priority then they havent succeeded.

    i know but it sounds like Jamie is saying some people are Prio AND able to do this promo. Has to be one or the other imo. Fwiw. I got the prio email despite not being in this month and there are multiple £1.5k packages for prio members so its not all bad

    In Response to Re: ****PLAYSTATION 4 LEADERBOARD**** : i know but it sounds like Jamie is saying some people are Prio AND able to do this promo. Has to be one or the other imo. Fwiw. I got the prio email despite not being in this month and there are multiple £1.5k packages for prio members so its not all bad

    Not really the point of my post tbh. But if there are existing prio people in this then its bordering on farcical. 

    The ultimate strategy for a prio bronze member must be to get just below 10k,  and not bother exceeding if we will have more promos like this. 

    A £1.5k package is only any good if 1 you want to play the me and 2 you are available. Both of which are a no in my case. 

    Edit: How do sky get around annoying prio players when they do try to attract new players to the site with rake races? How about bringing back some incentive to stay in prio like offering a 10% uplift for players who have been prio for more than 3 months AND exclude them from promos such as the PS4 rake race.

    100% agree with this ,those who just made 10k last month are for sure losing out by not bein eligable in this promo.

    You have to get around 18k+points to get £400 when if you was in this promo you could get a chance at a ps4 (£400ish value) and also the cash for points return from goin for it.

    The £1500 package for priority members are a nice way for sky to say "grind your as.s out" eg but there actually pointless for me aswell and thats only if you even win a seat.
