larger freerolls
I don't know about any of you proper regs on here but i know that this has been discussed over and over again and obviously been ignored by the powers that be
are you ever going to make it feasible to spend our loyalty points i currently have over 2000 and i'm not even a reg.
10pt freerolls which are rebuy tournaments (gotta be an idiot to get a rebuy in these tournaments min cash does not cover a rebuy) are absolutely ridiculous
can we please get some larger freerolls or a way to exchange loyalty points for cash
this would be an excellent way to get people to come back to your site

The current Mayhem Freerolls offer is worth, if my memory is not mistaken, in the month of May, close to £50,000 (FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS) of prizes. You do not pay to enter them, but you need to earn 25 points in each preceding 24 hours. Those 25 points you "pay" to enter are NOT deducted from your points total.
The Mayhem Freerolls are HERE
I'd have thought £50,000 in a month was a tidy rewardd by any standards, on any site. In addition to those, there are daily Freerolls with Roller Seats or Vegas Satellite seats on offer, these probably come to £5,000 per week, or another £20,000 per month. There are also other sundry daily freerolls.
Most of these, of course, require points to enter - that is so that the loyal regulars who play here most get the most benefit.
Many players, of course, only play a very small amount, but also play a lot of Freerolls. I'm afraid there won't be much sympathy for those guys from the regulars here.
and are these actual free freerolls or do you have to earn a certain amount of pts to be able to enter them if so then this is not an actual freeroll
thankyou for your reply tikay i used to enjoy watching you on sky 861 but i'm not willing to pay for the sports package just to watch a little bit of poker nowadays.
But a lot of players who only play a little bit still want to be able to try their luck for a reasonable ROI i have deposited on here a few times and personally think that a freeroll should be free without any sort of restriction like earning pts in the previous 24hrs
These sort of freerolls are excellent for your regs but the little people who like me lose a lot don't always have money to play but would still be able to spend our loyalty points that i have earned by playing on this site at the moment this is completely unfeasible unless i make another deposit which at the moment i cannot afford that is also why i asked about transferring the loyaltypoints into cash (even if it was like tournament dollars so people cannot withdraw the money they exchange).
What would be the point of offering them to players who do not earn points?
why cant i use those poker points to buy hoodies, poker sets, private jets?
until something is done about this i am boycotting all £110 main events.
now i'm not bothered about getting things like that over here but i would like to be able to spend my loyalty points instead of them just building up and building up with no chance of ever using them
all of the people who have ever deposited on any site should be treated with the same courtesy that your regs are you shouldn't treat people differently.
i have been a member since 2012 but not a regular player anywhere i'm a sucker for bonus emails and thats usually what makes me go to a site and play for a bit
i have absolutely no problems depositing if i have the money but what is the point of loyalty here if you cannot spend your points
at the moment with the 10pt freerolls you can min cash and that is NOT ENOUGH to play any real money tournament anywhere on your site
OK, let's imagine that Sky Poker offer a, say, £5,000 Freeroll with no entry criteria.
How many players do you think it would get? 5,000? 10,000? Would they be Sky Poker regulars? Nope, freeloaders. Why would Sky Poker favour those guys over their loyal client base?
Your accrued points have NO VALUE if you don't use them as you earn them. Forget those you can see in your account, they are worthless.
Use them AS YOU EARN THEM & they then have a value.
obviously their is NO POINT in being an irregular depositor or a bad player who just enjoys playing poker on here
i'm saving stamps by sticking them in a book with a long planned purchase in mind. not long now. i will take my carrier bag full of completed books to the big store on the high street and exchange them for a car radio cassette player with two speakers that i can place on the rear parcel shelf of my austin montego 1.6GL. if i have any books spare i can buy a pair of beige driving gloves with brown leather effect trim.
after this, i plan to cash in my sky poker points....
Sky has got some great freerolls, the top prize awards more cash than some micro MTTS. These freerolls deserve great credit. The problem is the site has changed the freerolls into a manner in which you'll be locked out until you earn a certain amount of points. That route of entry into the freerolls is fine but what is the point in having a points tally still sitting in our accounts when the only use is for freerolls which most would consider worthless.?
Why not have a store where you could exchange points like 10,000 for mini or 100,000 for free entry into a £33 main event, if not 350,000 for the super roller and remove all the points from our account so that your not handing out masses of gifts at the beginning.
Even if you are a small losing player in these games and say on average lose will lose £2 over 10 games on average at the £2.25 level. That's £2 it costs you for some great entertainment. And then you get entry into a freeroll with a minimum expected value to you worth £2 (£5k freeroll/2500 (max number of players) = £2)) So basically, you are playing for free! What's not to like?
and you can use your points to enter tourneys i'm just saying that these tourneys are not worth playing when a min cash does not earn you entry to anything not even a 30p sit and go all i am saying and all i have ever said is that the tourneys could be made a little larger by multiplying the amount of points required to enter and multiplying the prizepool by the same amount this would make absolutely no difference to skypoker whatsoever but would make a lot of players very happy so where is the downside
Just because you played an MTT in 2013 doesn't mean you should suddenly be entitled to qualify for all the promotions and freerolls ongoing in 2016.
Dear me.
at what point did i say that i wanted to use my points to enter promotional freerolls i am ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE 10pt FREEROLLS the amount of points required by these and the prizepools could all be increased
even if i have the time to play every 10pt freeroll that you have on this site (4 a day) then it will take me 2 months to get through my 2000 pts
i'm not a reg so i don't play every freeroll because personally i do not think they are worth the hassle and this is what i am going on about
i understand that the promo freerolls are for current and regular players and i would never assume that anyone should get a seat into one of these for free
They are the basic level entry freeroll, followed by the weekly Rewards FR, then stuff for UKOPs and main events, with VLV at the top of the tree.
These are the freerolls on Sky. Don't like it, don't play here.
