Over 20 packages to be win for the Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC - starting TODAY
Good morning.
During the month of May, a whole bunch of Promos will be run, where 6-Max UKPC seats will be up for grabs. These include £1,500 "packages" (which include a sum for travel & accommodation), £1,000 seats to the Event, & Satellite seats.
There are 4 different Promos, plus, I hope, Ch 861 will be giving away Satellite Seats during the Shows.
To try & contain all the inevitable questions, & feedback, I've started this thread to try & keep them all together.
I don't really know any more than is on the Promo Pages, but I know a man & all that, so fire away with questions please.
Below, I'll try & work through each of the different Promos.

First up, the easy one - FREEROLLS!
There are FOUR x £1,500 UKPC Packages up for grabs via 4 x weekly Freerolls. The £1,500 is £1,000 for the seat, & £500 towards accommodation & travel.
There will be ONE x £1,500 PACKAGE PER WEEK, plus a £500 prizepol, so £2,000 in total.
These Freerolls - which cost TEN POKER POINTS to enter - will be every Sunday @ 7pm, starting THIS Sunday.
The details are HERE
PLEASE don't forget to read the Terms & Conditions, which are on the Promo Page.
Good luck.
No, there is NO CASH ALTERNATIVE I'm afraid.
You won your seat via a weekly Final (well done!), & the Promo Page for this is HERE
Note T & C # 7, which states.....
7. No cash alternative is available for any part of the Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC Main Event seat, nor is the seat transferrable. Winners must not sell or transfer their Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC Main Event seat to any third party and winners are responsible for the payment of any applicable tax, if any, due on winning the Prize, and/or any prize money won by participating in the Event.
I can't realy comment beyond that, but if you wish to contact Customer Care, please do so.
It'd be a real shame if you are unable to make it, it should be a wonderful Event, & I'm sure you'd have some great memories to take away.
As far as I can see, generally, the T & C's state this....
3. You may participate and enter any of the promotions as many times as you wish however you may only win a maximum of one (1) Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC Main Event seat. This includes seats that were won via satellites or any other means.

Life's just not fair sometimes, eh?
Morning Tikay,
Lets test you!
As its re entry, could we say qualify online and win one through the promo so we had one bullet in reserve?
If this isn't the case, Where there are a set number of seats and someone wins one who has already qualified would their seat go to the next on the list or is it lost?

BEST OF THE BEST
This is an ROI-based MTT Challenge, & runs for the whole of May, starting NOW.
Details are HERE
The TOP TEN all get a Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC PACKAGE, worth £1,500.
So, £15,000 worth there.
Remember to read the T & C's, of course.
The answer to that is very simple indeed. I just don't know it......
Based on the T & C's, it would appear NOT, but I'll have to ask that man I know, & get back to you.
I will sort of collate all the questions daily, & send them up to that man once a day, to save making too much of a nuisance of myself.
Hopefully, I'll have an answer by tomorrow morning, or someone from the Office will reply themselves.
Here, just for you, & the other Stoke City supporter, is Sir Rodney Marsh, cleaning the boots of the Stoke City players.
In short, I think the answer is NO, (explanation follows) but I will check for you, & get back to you shorty.
OFFICIAL CORRECTION
My Previous Post contained an unfortunate Typo, it should have read.....
In short, I think the answer is NO, (explanation follows) but I will check for you, & get back to you shortly.

If this problem persists please contact customer services.
In an ideal world, yes, that'd be a great idea, though I suspect the Admin might be a bit awkward, & hence it has not been offered.
Worth noting that ALL the 6-Max UKPC seats won on Sky Poker.com, either via qualifying, or Promos, are for DAY 1C, which is the third & last "Day One".
1A & 1B are both "Re-Entry" days (A can re-enter on B, B can re-enter on C), but C is a proper FREEZEOUT.
It is for this reason that all the seats won on Sky Poker are for 1C, as most of those who win a seat here will not be funded to re-enter, & so may feel disadvantaged if they play 1A or 1B.
I'm sure, however, that DTD could be persuaded to move any qualifier from C to A or B if they specifically request it.
6-Max UKPC Challenge.
This is a weeky Promo, which will run for 4 consecutive weeks.
Details are HERE
It is a SNG (any 6-Max SNG or DYM £5.50 or more) ROI-based challenge.
The top 6, EACH WEEK, will play a televised SNG on the Sunday Evening (dates as per promo page) for the following prizes;
WINNER - £1,500 6-Max UKPC Package (Seat, + £500)
2nd - £1,000 6-Max Seat
3rd - £220 "Weekly Final" Seat on SkyPoker.com
4th - £220 "Weekly Final" Seat on SkyPoker.com
5th - £48 Semi-Final Seat on Sky Poker.com
6th - £48 Semi-Final Seat on Sky Poker.com
So I make that close to £4,000 worth per week, x 4 weeks.
Remember, please read the T & C's.
6-Max UKPC Races
Two qualifying periods, & two seperate "races", spit into those who have more or less than 5,000 Reward Points in April.
Details are HERE
Prizes?
For EACH race.....
1st Place – 6-Max UKPC Main Event Package (£1,000 buy-in to Day 1C + £500 travel and accommodation credit)
- 2nd Place – £1,000 buy-in to 6-Max UKPC Main Event Players that finish
3 - 5 - £220 buy-in to £500k UKPC Final (18th May at 9:15pm)
Players that finish 6 – 10 - £48 buy-in to £500k UKPC Semi (18th May at 7:15pm)
Players that finish 11 – 50 - £10.50 buy-in to UKPC Quarter Final (18th May at 5:15pm)
Players can only win one 6-Max UKPC Main Event seat.
Players that place 3 – 50 have the option of playing their satellite at a later date but need to email or contact customer support prior to May 18th.
So that is just under £4,000 per "race".
Please read the T & C's.
So it looks like every single player, big or small, MTT, SNG & Cash, has an opportunity, with the minimum threshold being 10 Reward Points for each of the 4 Freerolls.
A lot of players cannot afford to play the main Events, Rollers, etc, but the ideas is that they have the same chance as everyone else.
