Promotions based on points..

First of all, this is not a complaint - Sky do a tonne of promotions that it really doesn't have to and I thank them for it! Second of all, I am aware that Sky can't please everyone.

However, I feel like someone needs to say that the lower stake players do seem to be getting left behind during the promotions from time-to-time .. maybe they should be left behind as they don't put as much money down on the site - that's for someone with more knowledge on the subject than myself to decide.

Having said that, I can't help but feel that a promotion based on the amount of time spent on Sky Poker in a given month would make a lot of players very happy, and also reward all the loyal customers.

Thoughts?

Same here. I feel like i cant compete in most promos as i work 6 days a week and cant put any large volume in.. Maybe there should be promos that reward quality as apposed to quantity... I know there is a thread putting every promo down and that you cant pease everyone.. Im not complaining but this is my opinion

There should be free cash for everybody! -- wait a minute---- that would never work----poor people would keep joining the site, then they would withdraw the free cash and spend it all on fishfingers and drugs---- no---- giving cash to responsible rich people is surely the best policy.

promo's don't need to reward quality because guess what... if you play quality you win money!!

Something like the golden tickets was better as it was inclusive instead of exclusive.

Would be good to see some more promo's that more players would have access too.

+1 Ive said this before. The Golden Tickey was by far the best for everyone. The top players still got the advantage as the accumulated more tickets but the small stakes still had a chance of winning any of the prizes on offer.

What would you guys think of "a promotion based on the amount of time spent on Sky Poker in a given month" though?

It would be a complete joke.

So someone who spent ten hours a week and spent £500 on rake should get more than someone who spends 20 hours a week and spent £100 on rake.

I actually dont like rake races, but time races would be even worse.

Promotions should be tailored to people who spend money on poker. Not time or rake.

That way people who spend money are happy and then in turn regs are happy as the games are softer.

Aha agree dude these not priorty players dont seem to realise what there getting! ,

Better off not bein priority and getting these big sums instead lol.

Sky would never reward players based on "time spent" on the site , you could play 10 hours 1 table NL4 and pay a few quid in rake at most so how could they reward that type of player.

Nothing against low stakes but this is why cash for points is what it is to pay more out to rake payed eg ,

This is why these great new promos for "non priority" are introduce alot lately to get players to actually sign up an grind away to keep the oney circuling on the site so its clever of sky for sure.

I think someone who spends more time should get more promotions. Aren't promotions about rewarding loyal customers? Many customers spend hours on Sky Poker, but don't have the bankroll to spend thousands.

I think there should be a freeroll or promotion for those members who spend the most amount of time on Sky Poker in a month (maybe the top 100). Don't forget the top 100 would be the people who have literally spent a whole week (168 hours) playing time on Sky Poker in one month - surely that type of dedication should get some reward, regardless of how much they spend on rake?

Maybe to a small extent, it's mostly about making more money for Sky.

Look at the recent promo, the top player prob paid about £4k in rake. Which covers all the prizes for the top 10.

If you look at the top 10 alone, the rake paid is probably about 30k.

Don't know the exact figurs, i could be over or under but basically the promo prob made sky a lot more through the extra level of play it encouraged than had the promo not run.
