Sky Poker forums will be temporarily unavailable from 11pm Wednesday July 25th.
Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
evening. thought i would post this as slightly frustraited with support atm,
i won a £17.00 ticket to the vegas quater final tonight, through a freeroll which started at 16.00
it said top 6 would get ticket in the tournement description but when you click on the blinds and prize structure it showed as noone getting paid so i knew it was going to be an issue even before game had finished,
so i get on to support rather than post on here, and this is a copy of convo i had with support i have removed names to protect identities (i know the guys/girl at support have hard jobs but i mean come on) this went on for like 90 mins
*: Hi, you're through to *.
*: Hi * i have just finished playing a freeroll which awarded a $17 ticket i finished 5th and top 6 should of been paid but the tickets have not been awarded
*: Top 6 places win seats into the £3.2k Vegas Quarter Final tonight at 8.45pm. Unlimited Rebuys available for the first 60 minutes, one 8,000 chip Addon during the 3 minute break for £0.50. Earn 10 Poker Points in the past day to register.
*: Have you looked in ''My SkyPoker'' and tables, it should show in there
*: no one at table has been entered
*: and when u look at finishing positions on site ..where it normaly says what prize u won it has nothing showing
*: the next freeroll is showing exactlythe same
*: It may be that the game is yet to finished, so once this has finished it will show that you have won a seat
*: no its already finished it automaticaly finishes when top 6 is decided
*: as the prize for first is the same as 6th
*: i have won tickets a few times this way and i knew before it ended that it was going to be a problem
*: So it's not showing under My Sky Poker: My table ?
*: no
* Would you mind if i logged in as you to have a look and see if i can find it?
*: u can but i know it isnt there
*: Sometime us logging or logging in on another device triggers it, I'll have to change your pin but once you log back in it'll ask you to change it back is that okay?
*: yeah
*: Thanks, do you have the table id please?
*: sorry * i dont it was the 16-00 freeroll
* Can you go into 'My Account' and look for that table ID please?
*: 5812085889
*: I've passed it on to my supervisor and he is dealing with the issue, sorry again for the inconvenience *
*: np do i wait here?but i beleave when you guys were setting up the lobby someone forgot to add the prizes
*: If you just wait here he won't be too long i wouldn't have thought, thanks for being so patient
*: np these things hapen
*: He has just got back to me and it seems that you don't win the £17 that is the price of the seat you won in the free roll tournament
* yeah i know that
*: but i want awarded anything
*: wasnt rather
*: for example the one that started at 17-00 if you look at that mtt lobby
*: and look at prize structure it says no prizes
*: so those guys are going to have same problems as me
*: but if you look at the tournement overview it says top 6 win seat into the game at 8.45 tonight
*: That's right - so you will win the seat into that tournament - not the monetary value of the seat
*: yeah but it isnt even awarding the seat prize
*: i have never once said that it would award 17.00
*: OK, let me ask the Poker team. One moment
* like i say you are going to have problem with the next game aswell
* now the lobby on the one that has just started is correct
* can u see the difference in the two lobbies?
* Thanks for waiting, i've spoken to the poker team and they have sorted the issue, you are registered for the 8pm tournament tonight, sorry for the inconvenience
*: they cant have as i am already manualy regestered
*: They haven't added you, you were already there they had issue with the tournament itself but it has been fixed now
*: no *i paid to enter the game as this issue wasnt resolved
*: so the issue hasnt been fixed *: dont mean to be rude but getting slightly agreeved with this now
* I've had a look and i can see that you paid to enter the 5pm tournament
*: no i manually reged at a cost to ME of £17.00 for the game i was supposed to win ticket for
* and the game starts at 20.45
*: The tournament i can see you paid for was the 5pm , you didn't pay for the tournament that starts at 8:45
*: i was supposed to get ticket from freeroll but as you guys didnt give me my prize and enter me i manualy reged
*: 07 May '15 at 17:05 Poker £3.2k Vegas Qtr £-17.00 £0.00 Poker AIR client Hand History
*: its for a game that starts at 20-45
*: Okay i've passed it on to my manager and he is in the process of dealing with the issue and will email you shortly, i can only apologise for this issue tonight *

OP, stop being a tart. Frustrating? Yes I'm sure. But give them a chance to resolve it.
I've said it before, perhaps tongue in cheek, but I'd love to see Sky sack off all freerolls for a month (more?) and give the equivalent £££ to charity.
If I was CC for lawn green bowls, and someone won a free game for 20.45 but this hadn't been credited, and when asking me 'where is my token?' I look and see they are down for a game at 20.45, this would frazzle my tiny brain.
It wasn't said in jest btw.
You've C and P'ed a chatlog onto a forum with someone who was trying to help you, which serves no purpose whatsoever. Granted, the person at the other end might not have been as helpful as you'd hoped, but it's not an easy gig, and as others have said, these people aren't specific to poker enquires and thus if they don't play the game then it can be hard to follow whats going on. Perhaps a little bit of perspective eh?
If defending the anonymous CC agent makes me a ''troll tool'' then so be it, I don't care.
You're still acting like a tart btw. Again, not said in jest
I'm guessing male, but I don't really care either way. If tart offends you, feel free to replace it with any number of other appropriate words; plank, fool, idiot, clown, mug.
Honestly, just get a bit of perspective. Perhaps if you'd come on here saying 'I've been to CC but they couldn't assist, can someone from Sky help?' or w/e then maybe it would be more warmly received.
My subtle attempts at humour are obviously not coming across, so I bid you goodnight, and I hope you get your MTT entry tomorrow evening.
Oh, are you back from your hols then HH?
