And sky, I am still waiting on a reply to my question about freerolls?
Will the 5 x £1k freerolls replace all the current freerolls you currently run/will run, or will it replace them totally?
That will make a big difference imo
Firstly I would thank SkyPoker for opening the debate and staying with it - I am sure Tikay is appreciative of not being "stuck in the middle" on this one.
From the perspective of how does this effect me - probably doesn't - maybe worse off. On current volume for the last couple of months I havent even made 100 points. Generally when I am playing it would be between 200 and 500. The most welcome change on here for me was when the threshhold for rewards was reduced from 500 to 100. This feels like a reversal.
I assume the thinking behind the change is to encourage volume?
Weekly limits encourage volume but does penalise the average rec like me.
Having more steps in rewards also encourages players to keep going for the next level.
Tokens rather than cash - obviously means the reward has to be put back into the site.
I probably will lose out - slightly - c4p is not what keeps me on this site.
I do wish the tokens were cumulative and valid longer - I would love to be able to build up tokens towards a large main event - thats the dream for a rec like me - get in a big event cheaply and get a big payout.
I think the whole imbalance in the rake itself for all microstakes and for dym v 6-max and for B/H v freezouts is a bigger and thornier issue which I would welcome some discussion on with SkyPoker peeps in a thread like this.

Sounds like you are saying these cuts are too help pay for future promotions!
Or at least a bit less 'meh' than swapping £20-£40 of monthly rewards to take to the cash table with a bunch of tournaments you won't often be able to play anyway.
My understanding of it ypou play 50 points a week and you receive 2.50 token and entry into 5 freerolls. What are the freerolls worth ?. from truly56
100 points a week gets you a £2.20 token + freerolls
500+ you don't get token, you get cash but still get freerolls
What I meant was, will they replace all the other freerolls (which would mean the same as we are getting now and this not new), or will it be in ADDITION to them.
It needs to be in addition to them imo.
click on the very first post in this thread. its points to a link explaining whats what and its not ambiguous.
really its not.
this thread wouldnt be half as long if people actyally read it.
I just saw this table on Facebook. Has this bloke got it wrong or does it turn out that most people are better off?
Cos the money I'm going to save not playing on SP
will probably now be spent on fast foods
Hello guys,
Following some excellent feedback, we would like to inform you of a few changes that we have made to the new Sky Poker Rewards.
1. We have increased the Tournament Token from £2.20 to £2.30.
2. We will look to review the Rewards Freeroll payout structure after a couple of weeks of them running.
3. We are making the £2.30 Tournament Tokens cumulative, so that you can save them up and buy into bigger games.
4. The expiration date for the Tournament Tokens has been increased from 2 weeks to 6 months - giving you longer to save up your tokens and spend them on a variety of games.
Our customer’s experiences are vital to us. We value everyone's feedback and use it to make Sky Poker a more rewarding, better place for you to enjoy your poker. Many thanks for your suggestions, please do let us know if you have any others.
Sky Kirsty
Thank you very much.
And realistically speaking, most people wouldn't stop on 90 points+ (or maybe lower), but will grind the extra 10 points just for the £2.30 token, which is £1.30 more value now than if they earned just 100 points.
If you are at work, you can't play the earlier times people are asking for anyway
