    Yes... The "freerollers" on the site take the 'P' imo ... yes we all have to start somewhere and the odd game is fine, but people who only do FR's and never pay anything to sky is redic.

     All these "invitational" tourneys all seem to be the freerollers or new player.. But surely us regulars are the ones that need to be rewarded?!?!

     A freeroll for around 3000 points will make sure only regulars play in it. I dread to imagine how much rake iv put into this site, but i rang up Sky around a yr ago and they said to me on buyins iv put around 17k on (i think i had won 18k back) so just me alone last yr would of spent around 1.7k just on rake!!!  (and this was a year ago)

     Some sites offer up to 50% rakeback (some even more). Yes i know we have cash for points but like many others have said they are such a small % of what has been paid.

     I just feel its time the rugulars get "Thanked" for all there time on the site... Lets face it I alone have probably paid some1's wages for a couple of months now!!!!

    I agree flash, seems bit unfair 2 players go in that 3 roll with 150 quid for 1st and primo seat.

    The same happened in last weeks 3 roll, 2 players and the best bit was 1 of the players was away. So the winner got 150 quid primo seat for just blindin the other player.

    Nice tournys if you can get em though, lol

     Elaborating on that slighly (without mentioning names) I have a friend who plays fulltime, he does sit n go's on a site that... well lets say it has its own card room in nottingham.. He gets i think 50% rakeback AND free entry every month into their £300 deepstack weekend!!!! He says "because of that i wont play anywhere else" .. Can Sky say they do anywhere near that good offers?? ... Well I probably played nearly everynight last month doing 25/50 cash and tourneys, and i got £15 back.... thanks
