Love Sky Poker but.........
Having been playing online since online poker begun and having played on many platforms, good and bad, I feel I have found my home again with Sky. It does seem a bit nostalgic.
But, I don't get the Poker Points. Most weeks I earn a £2.30 tournament token and can enter the £1000 daily freerolls. I'll take that, thanks, but what can I spend my points on? I see a £25 freeroll with a couple of quid to the winner, but for me, playing 15-25 tournaments with buy ins from £10 to £110, this really isnt rewarding me,
It would be great if these points could be saved for say a decent montly freeroll or used to buy into point satelites for the big weekly or the special live games.
Finally, is there ever a re-load bonus offered? Ive never caught one if there is. They exist elsewhere!

so you earn say between 100 and 499 points you get a £2.30 token but your points just stay in ur account so what your saying is sky give you a free mtt for the points which have already been rewarded for.
If u get 10000 points make priority you receive £200 and rakeback but those 10000 points will stay in your account so sky aint going to run special freerolls mtts for the points that they have already paid out for?
I have over 100k points but that's only because they don't get removed when ive been credited my rewards
Pretty much what others have already stated.
You HAVE been paid for those points already, & now they have no value.
If we earn 50-99 points in any given week, Sky Poker give us free entry into £5,000 worth (£1,000 per day) of Freerolls.
If we earn 100 to 499 points in any given week, they give us access to those £5,000 worth of Freerolls, AND a £2.30 Tournament Token.
If we earn 500 or more points in any given week, they pay us cash the next Monday, at 1p per point, which rises to 2p per point depending how many we get.
And that's it, those points have then been paid for, & have NO RESIDUAL VALUE.
I would agree with you totally, really Sky Poker ought to remove them. But they don't. Don't ask.....It does not change the fact though, those points are already "spent", as we have been paid for them.
Some of us have hundreds of thousands of them. But we've already been paid for them once, so we can't expect to be paid again. The system is great, but leaving the points on our accounts does make it look wrong. But it's not.
Reload bonus - no, Sky Poker don't generally offer reload bonuses. Instead, they rely on a wide range of Promotions every month, as well as the Rewards Scheme (paid WEEKLY) & each month is different. These can be seen on the Promo Page, HERE (See the left hand sidebar).
I'm gonna feel a bit stupid if it's not you, but you write in similar vein to the Gent I know. It'll not be the first time I've felt stupid, mind.
I also remember you - if it's you - as you were one of the very few players older than me......
I have just one thought to add.
Without wanting to sound ungrateful, as I appreciate anything for free is a bonus, the £2.30 tournament token is not the ideal gift for all. Would it be possible to give the option of receiving a £2 cash gift instead of the £2.30 MTT token. This would also actually save SKY some money.
No, that's not going to happen I'm afraid.
I'm guessing The Business want you to spend that £2.30 on Sky Poker, rather than give you £2 cash which you spend on a round of drinks at the pub.
It would not save money, either, as the £2 cash would be "lost" to Sky Poker, & clearly they prefer you to spend it here. And everyone does under the current system.
Well rather than £2 cash how about a £2.30 token for ring games.
I really don't see the current Token system changing much, to be honest.
