    The £2 + £0.25 DYM's are now £2 +£0.20.

    So that a shilling per game reduction.

    All the low stakes DYM's also have reduced reg fees.

    Reasonable. But why are the Turbos the same rake as the regular speed?

    The games complete in roughly a third of the time.

    You would think this and age that 5p was insignificant. 
    We all know what a big difference this makes.

    That is a brilliantly great move.

    Unreal, You would rather pay higher rake and get an extra point?

    Hard enough for the micro stakes player to reach 500 points as it was. Even more difficult now.

    Think about it logically, you would pay an extra £12.50 in extra rake to get a fiver!

    Lol @ complaining about getting less points. Despite the way announcements go on here, I genuinely couldn't forsee 1 complaint happening on this thread... how wrong I was.

    Great news from Sky, wp. I played a random £5 BH the other day as well and noticed it was £5.50 instead of £5.75, has that been changed all across the board on £5 BHs now? Good stuff if so.

    Try looking at it this way

    Before, you play 250 £1 games, pay £37.50 in rake, recieve £5 

    Now, you play 250 £1 games, pay £25 in rake, recieve £2.30 token

    Which is better?

    Think about it maybenever.

    You used to play 250 games a week and get,

    £5 cash at the end of the week and 5 freerolls.

    Now you will get,

    A £2.30 token, 5 freerolls, and £12.50 dripped into your account throughout the week.

    I make that over £40 a month you will be better off. Happy days.

    Two points I wanna make

    1 - Well played Sky thats great news for us, the customers.

    2- I know this will never happen but this forum should be for people to raise issues or as some put it complain. I cant understand why people constantly attack someone for raising a query or issue here. Its like there is a mob stopping people from speaking up. Perfectly viable question to ask the points thing is it not? It doesnt necessarily mean the person raising it is complaining or not happy with the rake cut, seems fine to ask the query.
    This is not a personal dig at Snuffer or Lambert who I respect a lot and I know are good people its more a request to maybe not be so quick to create a mob stopping people from speaking up sontructively on the forum.

    I should have added that the same logic now applies to the £0.50 & £1 games which are now £0.55 & £1.10 respectively.

    Whilst I agree in theory, I also think if you ask an absurd question or raise a ridiculous point (like above) then you kinda put yourself up there to be shot down.

    Great news, especially as it consistent all the way down to the new 28p DYMs. 

    I do have one complaint - I am going to have to update my results spreadsheet now, 1st world problems ;-)

    Excellent news it's refreshing to see a site look after it's players I'm not used to this having coming from a site that systematically tries every possible angle to reduce rewards to players year after year.
    Great promo's, rewards and community feel here keep up the good work Sky :)

    on the advice of other i have been avoiding the smaller DYM for the reason that it is more than 10% rake, which once explained makes sense to anyone playing a reasonable volume of this format.
    i shall now start playing the smaller games once again.
    good decision sky

    Hi Mick,

    Think James was making the point that PLO DYM traffic is a little "thin".
