Reduce rake for DYMs. +1 it if agree

TWRAMYEP

Please reduce the rake for DYMs to about 5% in line with HU stts, pokerstars did it after getting loads of requests from players and a 2+2 campain and realizing they award prizes like HU.
 
The ROIs for DYMs are really small even for the best players and reducing the rake to 5% form 10% will increase alot of winning players ROIs by more than 100% and turn alot of losing/breakeven players into winners.

I just think 10% rake for DYM stts is unfair and should be brought into line with heads up sitngos.

Thats a very good point with traditional sngs the rake as a proportion of the prizes is much lower and doesmt affect roi as much.

Particularly at the lower levels as the rake is higher. I've been playing the £2 DYM's recently & the rake on those is 25p

Too right, 10% is excessive.  Also bring the smaller DYM's Into line with the other DYMs.  Why should low stakes players have to pay a higher percentage than the higher stake players?

Totally agree OP

The fact that we are paying 10% rake for these shows a hugh inconsistency in skypokers sitngo rake structure.
Half the players double there money and half losers there buy in exactly like a Heads up game that charges only 5% juice.
I remember playing on stars when they ran double or nothing STTs and charged 10% rake then after a few complaints from players they reduced it in-line with heads-up rake and I think skypoker should follow there good example.
Paying 10% rake is a rip and I wont play them for that reason reduce them to 5% and I'll play them all the time.

Come on skypoker, do the right thing and get the rake down in DYM.

In what way have you "been there done that"? It Dosn't make sence.

If enougth players voice there opinion on the forum, like in threads like  these and send emails off to skypoker then there is a chance that skypoker lisens and reasons with its customers and players can get a  fairer deal on there DYM tournies.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, we cannot reduce the rake here as it would not be viable to us. At the end of the day, we are a business and we need to ensure that we don't lose money and, in this case, that means the rake.

We regularly review our tables, however, so if we can find a way round this, rest assured it will change.

Thanks again,
Jordan

Thanks for the response Jordan.

However as a slight side issue, can you tell me why some of the lower level DYM games charge more than 10% rake? Surely the £2 games should be £2 + 20p but they're £2 + 25p. I know it's only 5p but that's not the point plus it all adds up over time. People play this level of game for a reason so is there any chance that these can be brought into line?

Also for the lower buy-in Bounty Hunters. £2 and £5 Bounty Hunters charge 15%, while £3 Bounty Hunters charge 10%. #inconsistant

10% should be the maximum on any sort of tournament.

I like turbo/hyper HU STTs but I mainly play them on other sites where the rake is much cheaper.

barnsie

cant believe people are playing at this rake pretty much industry high

at the end of the day all the time they fill sky arent going to lower the rake are they?

Hi guys,

This is just what we charge for playing on Sky Poker. As explained previously, we are business and this is what we charge for playing our games.

While there is a demand in these games, we will not be changing the rake I am afraid.

Thanks,
Jordan

rofl,  Cant blame sky these games are running so much atm, whats the need to change the rake? Also as he said they have to make money.

Me and a mate used to sell doughnuts when we were at school, and would sell them for about 4 or 5 times what we bought them for, so pretty extortionate. But we'd be sold out by the end of first break every day, so the prices were never gonna go down. It's the same with the rake I'm afraid.

Well it looks like the decision not to reduce rake by sky has bit them in the bum. There has hardly any action at all on the dyms today. Its all very well making a commercial decision, but if your consumer is price sensitive they will buy another product and your revenue ends up being less than if you reduced the rake.

So in other words, if people STOP playing the games completely, and boycott the DYM 10% juiced up rake Sky will have no choice but to change the rake system? 

You have to be an extremely good player to profit over time if your betting 10 and winning 9 each time

+1 in support of fairness

STEVEMAX

    +1 for the reduction of rake on
low end DYMs.
But if people stop playing them won`t
Sky just do away with them altogether?.
