New cash for points levels - kind of a joke
Well done Sky. You have increased the bonus for maybe 4 players on the whole site to 1.5k/40k points
As I have said before, you ran a 2k/30k points, so therefore your margins are there to offer it month on month.
I was in the top 10 of the cash players on Sky this month and I think my bonus was £150 this month, considering the amount of rake that I produce this really isn't on.
You probably have the most loyal customer base of ANY poker site in the world; how about you reward that loyalty with a more fair bonus system.
Thank you.

Surely they deserve a greater proportion as they are playing alot more?
I haven't checked the rest of the thresholds, but what I have described seems a bit, erm, daft.
Im speaking in terms of sit n go/ scheduled games where its 10 points for ever £1 in rake btw. I don't know how the cash points work.
It is a fair system, more rake you pay better deal you get. Its called bulk buying. I pay thousands in rake every month at whichever site I play. If you want a better deal play more.
If everyone just played the 30p/ 60p games, sky poker would'nt exist.
Its totally fair that those earning a greater number of points are compensated with higher rakeback.
I play on other sites too, and while I don't play on there as often as I do on Sky, I still receive a far better rakeback payment.
Of course it is impossible to know the actual amount of rake that we are paying on Sky without tracker software, but I can't imagine that the current rakeback system is worth more than 10-15% of ACTUAL rake.
I also know that certain players on Sky get a 20% better deal - a friend of mine who plays on Sky gets a rate of 24k poker points/£1000 bonus.
He plays similar volumes to me; but alas I'm not eligible....
I totally understand this sir, and as someone who has played all the way up to 1000nl here I'm not exactly a small time player either.
What I do have an issue with is the actual PERCENTAGE that is given by Sky.
i do not fully understand what rake is on cash tables can someone tell me please i know that if i play a 30p SnG i get 1/2 point so if i play a 1000 in a month i get £5
many thanks
