the guarranteed prize is put up by skypoker, so if it is in lobby as £50 g'teed that is the amount skypoker is donating to prize pool.
any rebuys or add on fees are then added to prize, so just say for example there were no rebuys or add ons the prize is  still £50.

    ok,  i dont mean to sound rude, i love skypoker. however the new 'freerolls'   have garenteed pots, this means that we are paying for the pot with our rebuys, sky is not paying anything towards the tournies. arnt our poker points supposed to be rewards for playing here to get some money back for the rake and fees? pls leave your thoughts.
    ps i know there has just been a freeroll festival.

    no quiet man, your wrong. money is only added to the pot after the garenteed amount has been paid for in rebuys, hense why i posted this. check it out, tell me if im wrong sky.

    you are absolutly right in what you have said. i have been playing these freerolls and i do not rebuy at all simple becuase 1 its a freeroll and 2 the £50 that sky put in has to be paid for before any money is added on which meens it is not a freeroll.
    but there you go :(

    the freerolls are just stupid imo, plus they're not technically freerolls with the addons, why dont sky introduce some decent freerolls. 

    once a week....freezeouts!

    £500 freeroll 1000 point buyin

    or 

    £1000 - 2000 point buyin

    mayb 2-3 times a week....

    £100 freeroll 300 point buyin


    you wouldnt get 100000 runners each time, thus leaving a decent prizepool and also sky and we are getting value for our poker points

    yep these freerolls very deceptive, i never rebuy if i play

    i definitely think the freeroll setup needs to be reviewed,, when i first started playing on here 5 months ago or so they were MUCH better,, where are the ones where you could win seats to larger events. there  used to be a couple a week at one stage.

    agree with you nirvana i do not like the rebuy freeroll, but as rich says have a look at the team poker event coming up  - the premiership.. if its half as much fun as the TKO then its a freeroll well worth playing

    The freerolls are a joke, I don't see how they can call them freerolls. I'm not sure money is even added to the pot pot once the guaranteed amount has been met

    The other sites I have played on do add any rebuys/add ons to the guarantee, whether the guarantee has been reached or not. Was lucky enough to win 2 of them in August and 3/4 cashes, I think, since. The 1st prize on one them was over the one published in the tourny lobby, so it does appear that for a £100 f/roll if they collect £110 it is distributed. That said Sky promotes itself as the friendly site yet by not doing this it seems to have rattled a few cages! The Premiership is good, but cmon Sky make freerolls completely free, just points to rebuy add on if we have to this option in them.
