The Billy winner - & with it the Vegas package, & a £1,100 UKPC seat was.......

....."safron".

It was on a £2.50 - £5 Spin Up Table, & he won the hand against "Alvez11".

The other players in the hands were.....


launder

Applelight

darkmind


So, safron wins a Viva Las Vegas package worth up to £4,000, plus a £1,100 UKPC seat. The other 4 each win a £1,100 UKPC seat each, assuming there is no T & C conflict.

I'm gonna guess it was a pretty "clean " hand........

Alvez already has a seat due to him getting like 2 million points last month and getting it via a priority promotion. The only reasonable thing would be to send me the seat value in cash as i was 3 off the billion. Look forward to recieving the money TY

You have to register yourself, Danx3, if you are struggling, and have met the point criteria, speak to CC.

There's no rush, it does not take place until tomorrow.

TIKAY sorry for OT but I couldn't register either, having got the 50 points and had to go through CS in the end.

I wondered if the points aren't counting as it hit at 00.30 and maybe they are reset at 00.00???

Just wanted to let you know to save tons of players contacting CS.

The live on the pulse drama of the Billionth hand will have to wait for ....authentication......

Phantom66

All sorted for me via CC. They are aware of the issue and will check and manually register if you qualified.

Apparently it was...

" due to the time the hand was played, as the system was generating the information for the previous days points so some customers have been missed as it was supposed to be an auto registration

They re double checking poker points for all customers who come through having this issue and manually adding them if qualified."

Thanks Rafa,

Good thinking, but I just tested it myself, as I logged off well before midnight, and it accepted my registration. (I then de-regged).

Speak to CC please. If still no joy, post again in the morning and I'll have a word with a higher up.

I refer you to my earlier answer....

Contact Customer Care and they will manually register you

dandandan1

customer care sorted it...thanks

Hi P66 and thank you P66.

I read dandandan1s post saying he couldnt enter. 

And yours saying how you fixed it. 

And Tkays on what to do.

I wasnt sure If I qualified or not. And I like posting

Not wanting to bother CC on asking why I couldnt register without trying first. 

And not wanting to  bother CC if I dont really need to either.   

I honestly didnt disreguard what others had said before me. 

I just felt like adding my voice to the throng of people that couldnt register. Thinking that maybe something might get fixed and eventually  CC wouldnt be bothered needlessly .

unknown_username

i was told by cc this morning about 11:30 am that they are manually entering players as i couldnt reg even tho i earnt 90 pp

i was also told they would notify everybody which hasny happened, sigh

Your welcome

Glad it is all sorted and CS were very helpful.

Can I just say the Billionth hand promotion was very generous and exiting. Great fun! Missed it by 045 and 047 here. The freeroll tonight was a very nice gesture.

And congrats to the winners too.

Well said Rafa, thank you.
 
And yes, it was great fun, I thought, & with £50,000 of prizes on offer, a pretty good deal for the players, imo.

Human nature is such a strange thing, & I'm struggling to understand the way some think these days.
 
The site is doing just great, it really is. And yet players are all over the Sky Poker forum right now, "it's not fair" sorta thing, almost daily, & even suggesting that Sky Poker don't have the right to decide how to spend their own money, & are spending it unwisely. Good constructive criticism is great, but it's usually incredibly rude. Why rude? Because they KNOW The Business & myself are not allowed to respond in kind.   

Meanwhile, a player started a thread to say how good the recent Promos have been, as it's been, since November, the most intensive period of Promos & Frerolls ever, & included some 70 odd £1,100 UKPC seats given away, & even a £4,000 Vegas Package, more Freerolls than ever before, "Double" month where there was some cracking value on offer for ALL payers.    

It said.......

"Wow,  freebuys, freerolls galore and double points, what a week, brilliant, can we do it again next week?"
 

Guess how many replies it got? (excluding me)

It got exactly......

ONE REPLY

Here's the thread HERE

Strange times.

^^^ Just add a like button. I saw that thread and agreed but didnt think I could add anything. It's the sort of post I would naturally "like". Sometimes I will chip in with a +1 post but usually when it is supporting an individual who has got a good result or been thanked for doing something positive for the community. 

Unfortunately if team chunter start a thread it encourages more chunterers to contribute and community regs to defend sky if they don't agree. Then the thread is seen to be popular and so everyone chips in and it kind of snowballs. Such is life in social media.

Tikay10

That's fair comment Phantom, & yes, it seems to be easier to moan, or see the bad side of things, sites or people than to see or say the positives.

It's an age thing I guess.

Move on, nothing to see here.
