    Out of interest, if the new regulations are aiming to reduce sites encouraging people to gamble too much (ie banning auto top-up), does that also mean that the current Punta Cana promo will be the last time Sky will be able to invoke a rake race... given that the whole premise is to encourage people to significantly increase how much they gamble (or any other volume-based promo that has been considered previously or in the future)?

    The latest promo appears to be a hands race not a rake race!

    Hi shakin,

    I don't think we can assume that, no.

    The various legislations currently being enacted are extremely complex, & involve a mix of directives, & advice. In many cases, it is open to interpretation by the sites as to how they implement certain things. "Responsibly Gaming" is at the heart of much of it, & Sky Poker will presumably continue to encourage that, & comply in every way possible with the legislation, in both practice & spirit.
