    The wednesday one is semi decent.

    Has anyone noticed how the points come off your monthly total and not from the 500 they give you after registering ( located in 'total poker points' )? Hence its more difficult to earn your bonus money!

    I'd just like to provide some clarity on the statement made by Supa_Phil on the issue of poker points usage.

    The poker promotions currently available at Sky Poker are all awarded on the basis of points earned, and not on the amount of points kept.

    So if you register for a freeroll for example and 10 points are deducted from your overall total then this does not affect the bonus you are working toward like the points for cash or welcome bonus etc.

    So theoretically you could earn 500 points in the points for cash promotion and use them all on freerolls during the month. This does not mean that you would now not receive the cash for points bonus because the 500 points are supposed to be deducted at the end of the current month. If there are no points to deduct then we won't take any. We won't give you a negative credit which results in you owing us points.

    All points earned are kept on record and if you are unsure as to how much you've earned thus far then this information is available from customer services.

    Also the 500 points given to you for free do not count toward any bonus. Again, the bonuses are based on points earned.

    Freeroll entry is of course "charged" to your total points balance and therefore would not distinctly show where it was taken from. It's taken from the balance as a whole. There isn't necessarily a difference between your free 500 points or accumulated balance in this context.

    I hope that this provides the necessary clarification however, if you are still unsure about anything on the website whatsoever, then the terms and conditions are listed on the site or alternatively you can get clarity from the customer care team.

    Thank you.
