Let Us Spend Our Poker Points!!
I see people bring this up throught other threads but thought this could do with one of its own. The points accumilation to get your cash back offer on sky is a good one. I like being able to gather money in this way as there is no rakeback deal available. However only being able to use poker points to enter a 25, 50, 100 or 250 point entry free roll which then has 1000 runners for a £250 prize pool and a few quid for first place isn't enough. I have a couple of suggestions of what to do with these which i've listed below but what are everybody else's thoughts on what Sky could offer for these points?
1) Open A Site Shop where merchandise can be purchased with these points
2) Offer sit n go entrys with poker points so people are not using there points up on the lottery of the 1000 runner shove fest
3) Offer tournament tokens in exchange for points XXXXX amount of points for an £11 token etc
4) Offer point only satalites into the open, primo, Bounty hunters and other regular large tournaments
If anyone agree's, disagrees or has better Ideas of what to do with them then please post. I for 1 am a little fed up with accumulating these things and not having anything with VALUE (I.E not the 1000 runner freerolls) to spend them on !

Definitely agree with Nicon though, I don't bother with the freerolls so my points are slowly increasing & gathering dust (so to speak)
My points stay as well and are building up, most other sites take the points away for cashback so getting to keep them is an added bonus.
Why should Sky let you keep them and give you free entry into cash tourneys when you have been paid for them already.
everybody is entitled to an opinion torry so don't worry about any ruffled feathers lol
For me they could take them if they like but the ones im left with i would prefer to be able to buy in to something worth playing.
I like this site but play on many others that do actually offer more value. not only for the loyalty points you acrue but have rakeback deals and point shops etc. The £5 you gt for 500 points really insn't great value when stacked next to things such as 33% rake back deals that i have on other sites. Don't get me wrong, sky is a great fun community but don't you think as a business they should try and offer as good a value package as the rest of the poker market?
Hi guys...ive been harking on about this for months... ive got 15k worth of poker points sitting in my account... ive done a few threads about it....but just getting fed up with it all now....hence y i dont play here as much now... on ladbrokes u use ur poker points for tourney buy ins... not freerolls... or can cash them to an equivalent... as u can on most sites.... ive had replies and "that we are looking in to it" and ive actually suggested ideas on how to use them up..... i.e. merchandise/tourney buy ins etc etc etc....but im afraid its all been swept under the carpet....and i cant honestly see an answer happening soon....
