What the tile says - you can win a share of £100,000 by being part of THIS

Please read it all carefully, it's quite daunting at first glance, but it all makes sense once you've looked at it properly.

Any questions, fire away.
 
One thing you need to remember - you MUST enter the Promo Code.

wow so 400 players earn money for just playing. i read it twice and still not got a scooby doo so ill just enter a code and carry on as normal.

Crikey , hard to know what option to choose when you have no idea what the average points gained are by people on the site.

Tricky one, any hints available Tikay?

Cheers

Should be interesting to see how the tactics play out.

Think I will need to read that several times to figure out whether my questions are already answered.

Tikay10

Ha, no hints.

But yeah, its clearly a tactical choice.

Remember though, you can only be in ONE League at a time.
 
You play your poker, & you take your choice....

I will be the first one to say it (and probably get the flack from the usual suspects) but is this not a glorified cash for points race for the full time players?

Yes, I know some MTT/DYM grinders can and do achieve big monthly reward points/get into Priority, but at first glance it does just look like a cash playing reward scheme.

I also realise that this is a free promotion so please take my above comments as observations rather then just moaning complaints. 

Was there any discussion on breaking down the Leagues into say...overall point scorers/Cash point scorers/MTT point scorers/DYM point scorers? Maybe this would have given more players in different formats a leveller playing field (IMHO).

Nice work Sky

With 400 paid...

I expect any MTT player playing a fullish schedule will get money back from this.

DYM grinders certainly will. 

Top earners in the top 2 leagues will no doubt be cash grinders from the usual suspects.

I prefer this scheme that has an opt in and rewards play than the random team based version of premiership promos of the last 2 years.

An easier question....

Will tables be updated daily or just the once at the end of each week?

That's a nice easy one.

"....Step 4 → The leaderboard for each league will be updated daily and will be displayed in their drop downs below...."

(In theory).

I would imagine there was a great deal of discussion as to the format.
 
We  must remember that the vast majority of traffic is cash games, so that's part of the equation. Breaking it into 4 Leagues should, I would have thought, mean players will think tactically as to what League they have the best chance in.
 
There never has & never will be a Promo that suits everyone equally, it just not possible, but MTT'ers & SNG-ers DO get looked after with stuff like summer Series, UKOPS, & Happy Days.

Absolutely. My points still stand though. It will be interesting to see the 1st weeks spread throughout the different Leagues.

Is it a clean slate each week? so it doesnt matter if you didnt choose the optimal league for you the first week?

Obviously it can and will change as players switch each week.

Yup.

"Step 5 →  The top 100 players with the most league points at the end of the week will win a share of the league's prizepool."

Also note.....

"Q. Can I change leagues? 
A. Yes, you can change leagues at any time by entering the new league's promo code. Unless you enter a different promo code, you'll automatically stay in the previous league that you played in. You can opt in/change leagues at any time, although if you choose to opt in/change leagues mid-week, your points will be backdated for that day only."

unknown_username

do we have to enter a code each week?

Dozza

Premier League above Champions League? ;-)

I shall be entering neither - it's all about the lower leagues unless you grind at high stakes.

gerardirl

Yep so no mention of points carrying over from one week to another, so I can take it from that its a clean slate each week for all parts of this promo.

thanks

Looking at the pyramid structure of English football I think the "Champions League" title is a mistake and should read "Championship" - not a biggie though, just nit picking. Great promo! 

Itsover4u

Looks great... league 2 for me the way i am playing nowadays

IHadTrips7

I dont think sky vegas has anything to do with this promo mate

markycash

Nice promo, I went for the 'Champion' code but it wouldn't accept the code so I opted for league1.

liamboi11

I've been silly never read it correctly I try put in code for all leagues and it accepted all codes apart from the champions league one, so I don't know what league my points will go to lol.

Any ideas?

Hi Dozza,

Thanks for pointing out my shameful lack of football knowledge.

After a brief Googling session, I have come to the conclusion it should read 'championship?' 

I've updated it to that, thanks for pointing out.

Hi Everyone,

We are aware that the 'CHAMPION' code isn't working - we are rectifying this now.

Thanks,
