Can we expect any changes to Skypoker with the new UK gambling regulations coming into affect on 01/

Are we going to lose auto rebuy like Uk players playing on Jokerstars?

Is there going to be any other implications we should know about?

I just had a response from Sky:   Hi,   I hope you're well.   I've been notified today, that we will also have to remove the auto rebuy and auto top-up functions. As you may have read, the reasons behind it, are that it is considered to encourage gambling.   This does seem to be something that will happen across all UK Poker sites.    On the up side, you may have seen that some sites are looking to reduce marketing spend. We have no immediate plans to reduce this, and our loyalty scheme will remain the same for the near future. We are however, looking into the possibility of changing the current rewards scheme, but once again, we have no plans to reduce spend.   If we were to change the rewards scheme, what would you like to see?

Hi!

I just signed the petition "Jenny Williams (Commissioner and Chief Executive) Gambling Commission: Let UK poker players keep automated rebuys and top-ups" on Change.org.

Here's the link if anyone's interested in signing:

Can someone from sky confirm that auto rebuy will be available next month as the gambling commission now seem to have issued clarification that auto rebuy is allowed if the site puts in place other measures to monitor problem gambling

We are in discussions with the UKGC at present and nothing has been confirmed. Rest assured we will relay information once we have it.
