What to do with poker points

edited May 2017 in The Poker Clinic
Hi there,
Been playing on here for the last few months, I now have loads of poker points. Can I only use them to buy into the lousy freeroll? (£20 gtd.) Or can I use them for anything else? Would be great if you could use them to buy tournament tickets like other sites, or satalites. ? Or am I going to need to enter 100 freerolls to use them?

    Must get this question every other week on Sky don't understand why they just don't remove them.

    Your points are worth nothing other than to enter the freerolls if u earn say 500 points you receive £5 from sky for them but the points just stay in your account so you've been paid for the points.

    Sky ain't going to let you buy into other tournaments with those points as they would basically be paying you twice for those points.

    The ? Is because if he does that he will then have his reward. There is nothing you can actually do with the points as has already been explained

    Personally, I don't see the issue with having points. Use them. It's that simple. You say lousy free-rolls but there are a lot of free-rolls. Get enough to enter the weekly nightly free-roll and then get some more to get at least the tournament token each week, then use that how you want. And if you do get the chance then play the other free-rolls during the day along with whatever else you are doing.

    Maximise the points usage. You are missing out if you don't.

    I didn't realise that there is a nightly freeroll what is the gtd.?, I play mostly during the day. But will try to check it out, thanks. And yeah I said lousy as even though the return for the winner is good for the amount of points invested, the time between them and speed of play makes them not good to play, for me at least.

    The Rewards Freeroll has run every single weekday night since the Rewards Scheme was revamped 2 or 3 years ago.

    It awards a MINIMUM of £1,000 in cash prizes EVERY WEEKDAY NIGHT, so that's £5,000 per week (= to £260,000 per year) for several years now.

    Most weeks it awards ADDITIONAL prizes, too. This week, for example, it is awarding an ADDITIONAL £680 per night in Viva Las Vegas satellite entries.

    So the Rewards Freeroll value this week = 5 x £1,680 = £8,400.

    Players only need to earn 50 poker points in the previous calendar week to be eligible. I'd say that was a pretty good deal.

    And it is those Freerolls that are the answer to the thread title - "what to do with poker points".
       

    Might be worth you having a look at the Rewards Scheme, which can be viewed HERE

    heres the deal mate.  Sky pay you for the points youy get which is a great free pro mo.  If you manage to get 10,000 points in a month you qualify for the priority club.

    Priorty club pays you an extra £100 for reaching 10k points. Every extra point you earn is paid extra money as well.  On top of that you get other benefits.  2 free tournies each month which are just for prio. (decent money in them) plus other befits.  Just look under priority tab to find all the benefits.

    Hope that helps.  Skys loyalty points is a great bonus, I hope you also opt in to their tablet giveaway and the mayhem tourney each night plus there are vegas seats up for grabs for free in the mayhem and free roll tournies as well.
