LARSON7

Hey Steve I just heard about it 5 minutes ago, should you not be asking why it is only £2.25 to enter, ss opposed to why it is not free?

i think the £8500 prize pool has summut to do with it,great value

Tikay10

Quite simply it made sense to charge for it. They are awesome value.

That is because, as I have stated twice before, these are not aimed at Sky Poker players, it is a Bet Promo, so I would not be communicating any info about them here on Sky Poker.

WellI I think if you play on Skypoker everyday ( like he does) and maybe dont have time to look for past posts then he deserves to recieve the benefits of a promo over say someone who just jumps in for the first time.

This and the same for any regular face....

I wouldnt mind so much if I recieved a single promo Email from sky but I never have even after multiple chats with live chat.... adjusting all settings multiple times and even Tikay kindly sending the matter upstairs.

Either way thank you very much

If you are self excluded from Sky Bet, you may not even qualify for any prizes. I have not read the T & C's, but please be careful.

I am not saying that is the case, but that is dangerous territory. 

Please be careful lads, and DO NOT POST THESE PASSWORDS ON HERE.

Thanks.

The post with the password on has been deleted. 

Any further similar posts will be deleted.

Please do not post these passwords. 

Thanks.

I would have thought the desired effect of this particular promo would indirectly benefit any winning mtt player more than being able to play an added value tournament would benefit them directly.

Ding, ding, ding....we have a winner!!!!

£8,500 prizepool

1,055 entrants x £2 = £2,110 invested in buy-ins

Overlay £6,390

Entering this tournament would have been a no-brainer even if the buy-in was £5.00 + 50p

Can anyone tell me what the criteria was for entry?

As far as I know nobody was invited, I certainly wasn't. But I do know it promoted prominently on Sky Bet, including on the front page, all day yesterday. It was also stickied at the top of the tournament lobby here.

I'm a fairly heavy Sky Bet user and I got a text message invite. Unfortunately I couldn't read it because I didn't have my reading glasses. Sort it out, Sky!

Hi Darty,

There was no entry criteria, & nobody was "invited".

It was strongly promoted on Sky Bet, users of Sky Bet should have seen it promoted there, or may have received an SMS. 
 
Should it be repeated, the process will be the same - it will be headlined on the Sky Bet site, & promoted by them, but not on or by Sky Poker.
 
Sky Poker players are perfectly entitled to play it, no problem at all, but only if they obtain the Password from Sky Bet. That Password will not be made known on Sky Poker, & any posts which publish it will be Deleted.

If Sky Poker players want to play these, my advice to them would be to log in to Sky Bet frequently, so they will see the Promo, or use Sky Bet more frequently, & that would maybe trigger an SMS reminder.

I hardly play any Mtts fwiw... Yes new players is great.... even better was the ability to play a mtt that can fit into my work / life balance
