Punta Cana FAQ
If you have ANY questions as to the "Road to Punta Cana" Promo, please ask them on this thread.
I don't know any more than is on the Promo Page, but I probably know a man who does, so fire away.

The Promo Page lists these FAQ's.......
Where can I find the satellites for Punta Cana?
If you click on the 'Tournaments' tab in the poker lobby, we have added a 'Punta Cana' filter. All satellites can be found under here.
I won a Punta Cana package, what happens now?
Congratulations! You will be contacted by our third party partner through email within 48 hours of winning. They will contact you on the email address registered to your Sky Poker account. They will collect and confirm your personal information and preferences and reserve your package. They will also inform you of all the important information required for travel.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your Sky Poker account contact information is current and accurate. We will then credit your Sky Poker account with £1,400 cash or the equivalent of this depending on your account currency. This cash credit is so you can book a flight and/or use it as spending money in Punta Cana. You are responsible for arranging your travel documents including all applicable passports, visas, etc. to travel to and from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
Can I exchange my Punta Cana package or tournament buy-in for cash?
No. All prizes are non-refundable, non-transferrable and cannot be converted to cash. You must go or forfeit your seat and package.
What if I win a package but am unable to go?
By participating in the Punta Cana satellites you declare that you are ready and able to travel to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic in order to play at the event, on or around 3rd November 2015. This includes any and all documents or visas required for travel to the destination. There will be no cash equivalent given if a player declares their unavailability.
Can I win more than one package?
No, this promotion is limited to one package per customer. This applies to winning a package via multiple methods, you may still only win one.
Can I bring a guest?
Yes, you may bring one guest. The accommodation is for two people, and the £1,400 that will be credited to your account should be used to purchase flights for you and your guest.
Will I be given any additional spending money?
As part of the package you will be credited with £1,400 to your poker account. This must be used to book flights for you, and a guest should you wish to bring one. It is also to be used as spending money in Punta Cana, and can be used to arrange any applicable travel documents such as a valid passport or visas.
Who is responsible for booking the flights to Punta Cana?
All winners of the Punta Cana Package are responsible for booking their flights to and from Punta Cana. Sky Poker and our third party partner will not manage any part of the flight/travel bookings.
What airport should I fly to?
There are two main airports that players can fly into, but Punta Cana International Airport is the only one we will provide transfers to and from because it is only 30 minutes away from the resort. Santo Domingo International airport is the second and is around 4 hours away, the cost is about 600 dollars and this is not part of the package transfer deal.
How will the airport transfers work?
Our third party partner will need your flight information ASAP, so the transfers can be pre-arranged with the hotel. A minimum of 24 hours does need to be given, however the more advance notice the better. Please see above in respect of applicable airports and transfers.
Will I need a Visa/Travel card to travel to the Dominican Republic?
Yes, you will need to purchase a travel card prior to arriving in the Dominican Republic. You can find the full details here: http://www.dominicanembassy.org.uk/Touristcard.html
The tourist cards will be delivered directly to your address and players will need to allow for 7 days’ notice.
Please read the T & C's on the Promo Page. There is a drop down section for T & C's.
There is nothing unusual in them, but it's no good qualifying & then claiming you were not aware of the T & C's, it's too late then.
I don't actually know, to be honest, but it officially starts on Monday, so we'll know better then.
It reads to me that it is satellite qualification only, but hold off until I can find out better, please.
It is good to see it back though, I agree. Sky Poker are building a nice portfolio of these sort of things now - Viva Las Vegas, Punta Cana, UKPC, & maybe some new stuff in the pipeline. I was particularly pleased to see that players in the weeknight Rewards Freeroll get a shot, too, as that opens it up to a far wider range of players, especially the pure recreationals.
There's plenty that Sky Poker could do better, but they do plenty of good stuff, too. In that regard, giving the "little guys" a shot at these things tops my list.
Good to see this back, I doubt I'll try as I can already picture the reply if I ask work for a week off in November, but good luck to those going for gold.
If any winners want help with flights just give me a yell
Anyway, I'll ask what the position is.
If so, I can start playing the quarters.
Cheers,
Graham
