    I've had an email informing me that Skybet wanted to give customers more of what they want, which means they have to reduce the Skybet Club offer to a maximum of £10 free bet.

    Apparently Skybet know their customers prefer more price boosts and money back offers.

    I appear to be an exception to the majority, as I was very happy with the SkyBet Club and have never been particularly attracted to the price boosts Sky offer.

    Now if you are correct and say the Sky are offering you £20 per week in the SkyBet Club, whereas they are offering me a maximum of £10 a week, that would be even more disappointing for myself.

    Of course its a free market, for the last few months SkyBet got it bang on right for me, if their revised promotions don't suit me, no problem, there are plenty of other companies ready to take my money :)

    I didn't always get the £50 free bet, but up until Sunday April 26th, I was able to earn up to a maximum of a £50 free bet.

    It would appear that the SkyBet Club, membership differs for each person.

    Reading 'term 8' it is quite clear this promotion will in fact differ for each individual, which just makes me a tad annoyed at the email I received informing me of the changes:


    At Sky Bet we’re always looking to give our customers more of what they want. Due to popular demand we’re going to offer bigger value Price Boosts and even more racing Money Back specials, this means we need to make a few changes to invest in the extra offers

    As part of these changes, we will now be offering you a maximum free bet of £10 every week as your Sky Bet Club reward.


    So there you go fellow punters, Sky have reduced my Skybet privilege's by up to 80% so they can give you bigger value price boosts and more free bets.


    Don't mention it, you are welcome :)

    Consider yourselves lucky guys.

    The maximum I get is a £5 free bet, and I never get emails from them telling me anything.

    I was getting £50 free bet until now. I never received any info telling me different. I too will bet else where. Sky Bets loss. The way I bet, means price boots and all the other stuff does not matter to me.

    I lost my regular £50 a couple of months ago and have been on £20 since, despite still spending lots.
    Mentioned it here on the site and others were saying they still got £50 so (as said above) it must be tailored to individuals.

    I still got £50 this week, although for next week it shows i can only get a £20 free bet

    i definitely prefer a freebet to any of the priceboosts, because over 90% of the priceboosts sky do, the prices are matched or bettered on at least 1 other site

    This does take the p*ss, making out its due to their popular demand for price boots ect. They should just be honest and say you've been limited, rather than bluff you making out its changed for everyone cause of a mass demand for priceboosts lol..Mine has gone from £50 down to £20, and no doubt if i continue to win with the £20 i'll be in the £5 club..I spend around £300-£500 on this site weekly mainly on skybet, and its good to get that £50 back on a monday..Still at least we get something back, some sites dont even reward loyalty.

    i was getting £50 up until last week now its been reduced to £20 as for the reasons why they have done it i dont really care,i never avail of the price boosts.
    Im sorry i think its a really bad show on sky's behalf because the first ive heard of this is the email telling me its happening as an indivdual i was not asked my opinion.

    So where was this so called consultation with the masses of skybet?

    The consulation with the masses of skybet was in the same place as the pink unicorns lol..It's a false email cause some people have been limited to a £5 free bet ages ago cause of this 'mass demand for more price boosts'. Like a guy said ealier on the thread the price boosts are normally boosted to a price freely availble at other books anyway.

    Is it coincidence that your bonuses have been reduced around about the time the skybet freerolls are happening?
