    I am a bit different, my aim is £100 a month profit from freerolls.

    I kinda break even on rake and then jump from site to site playing the best promos to make the profit on each site as needed

    • Could we please have the token set up so we can choose when to use them please.  At the moment they are used as soon as you reg for a touney and you can't save them up as promised above.

    In Response to Re: New Sky Poker Rewards:
    Hi Thanks for all the feedback. Just three things to mention... Firstly, we know from experience that it's very difficult to make changes to things like this to make everybody happy. Some might be a bit worse off, some better off and some the same. It is natural for people to say what it means for them but we design these things to reward people correctly and fairly and appeal to the most people possible. Also, this scheme is not set in stone forever. We and you will learn from the changes and depending on how things go, it's possible future tweaks will be made to make it the best we can for the benefit of the most people on the site overall. The new weekly model gives us more flexibiity on this. Finally, remember there will be more cash and prizes available to people to add to or compliment this scheme - like the iPads in June. There will be more things like this in future so watch this space as we annouce more. Thanks Sky Poker

    The Promotions page says this about tournament tokens...

    "Poker Tournament token - Go to enter a tournament. As long as the token can be used for the tournament the token value will appear on the buy in screen. Buy in to the tournament as normal, your token will be automatically be used to enter the tournament.If the tournament value exceeds the token value your own funds will be used to make up the difference"

    Which is exactly what happens. I would expect some extra coding would be required to allow the optional use of tournament tokens instead of cash desposited and to set the limit to 6 months instead of 1 month. 

    Hopefully it will be sorted soon as I really want to save mine up and keep them separate from the cash.

    It seems they already have the technology it just isn't applied to poker tokens yet.

    1. For sports tokens you are not forced to use tokens, you can click on the "use sports token" at the point of completing a betting slip
    2. For vegas tokens if the value of the spin is less than amount of the token it just deducts the amount of the spin from the token value.

    Hopefully wont take too long to put tournament tokens on a level playing field.

    If the aim of this recent change to the Rewards system is to alienate most of the semi-regular lower stakes players, well done Sky you've done an astounding job!

    This new reward scheme sucks, it's got worse and worse over the years. I don't want tournament tokens I never play them as I only like cash games. I don't have much time to play maybe 4-6 evenings a month but even then I could get my bonus money upto £15-20 and that was worth it.

    It seems that whatever u register for , including a 30p dym that sky will automatically take your token... so it cannot be saved up as it takes it with no warning...absolute fiasco imo.....live chat will refund you this time but there stance is this. Simon K: Yeah they will not expire. This doesn't mean that if you play it does not take your token though. All it is saying is that you can save your free tokens for up to 6 months and if you get more than one you can add them together to buy into a bigger tournament. But, as I sai I will add you this £2 back on as credit for you to buy into a game now for you, okay? Simon K: Thanks again but this still does not say it will not be used if you play. I am offering to credit you this money as cash I don't understand why you keep sending these snippets?

    i was sending him sky kirstys updated rules and also sky_jps comments saying quite clearly they can be saved up...how can they be saved up if they are taken automatically with no warning?

    Earnt just over 50 points last week.
    Won £3 in the freeroll last night, which is more than i used to get back in a month.
    With the fiasco going on with the tokens, i have no incentive to get to 100pts a week.
    Carry on as normal.

      This was an error where a player was manually entered. It was quickly noticed and resolved with the player de-registered.

      I originally didnt like the new rewards structure but now I like it more than C4p.

      I have already got a £2.30 token which is the same as cash for me as Im gonna use it for dyms. If I get a couple more of them it will result in £6 or £7 which I never achieved in C4p. 

      On top of that if I cash in any of the freerolls thats extra, plus I get free entertainment for playing in a tournament that I can win cash in!

      This new promo is also helping me play more.....which is what sky wanted , this on top of Stuarty117s 1k challenge!

      Thanks Sky!

      Erm, am I understanding this right...


      I want to play a dym and I want to save my tokens for a bigger game but I can't because if I register for a dym or small MTT it takes my token away?

      Come on harry. I think these grumbles are well warranted on this occasion. No, it's not a crisis, but it is certainly an example of poor customer service.

      People are well within their rights to air any grievances on here. Just because something doesn't bother you it doesn't have to mean that it shouldn't bother anyone else.

      Hope you had a good time in Vegas btw

      Yeah, its poor on Sky's part that the new rewards promo stuff hasn't been set up correctly. But it does amuse me when people use words like ''victim'' and ''fiasco''.

      There is some truly awful stuff going on in the world, perspective. I'll leave it at that.

      Good time, thanks. Was looking into going on a 6 month round the world cruise next, but don't wanna miss out on my 2 quid MTT token so soon scratched that idea.

      Yeah agree with you there, but it certainly is annoying, a bit like you, but I still talk to you so I will still continue to play here too.

      Glad you had a good trip mate

      I am actually with you on this ger, i cashed 4 quid in the 1st free roll last night and although my token is gone by accident (im sure it will get sorted by next week) i got the 2 quid refunded. so instead of c4p where i woulda got 2-3 quid a month i am actually double that after week one...so yes when its sorted i i will agree 100% i think its going to be better for me personally
