    Yeah and as usual 2/4p players are invisible, not even a response when you ask about happy hour etc, we may as well not exist!!!!!!!!!!!

      I am also a micro stakes player and usually earn around 14/1500 points per month, and having checked figures for 2011 would be 8 quid worse off under the new system. Will not make enough difference for me to move sites or have a hissy fit, but there again it is after all a BONUS and i personally would rather try and play profitably than sit and grind umpteen tables playing only premium hands and counting how many c4p i have earned.

    In Response to Re: New Cash For Points : Hi Jinglema, I'm not sure who Sky Adam on the priority line is, (obviously not me!) but I'm the product manager of Sky Poker, you have been completely misinformed here so i need to set this straight right now.  This has absolutely nothing to do with 'budget constraints' i have no idea why that comment was made its extremely misleading and inappropriate.  The only reasons why we have decided to make this change have been clearly stated previously, but in summary to reiterate: Our main aim in making the changes to cash for points was to make it fairer (you now get rewarded for each of the qualifying points) and clearer. We definitely are  not  trying to confuse or deceive anyone here - far from it. It is clear that there are certain examples where people will earn slightly more and others slightly less. Feel free to continue to discuss between yourselves Happy New Year and Best Wishes to all Adam

    Why can't sky just admit that they are doing this to basically make more money for the business ?

    Some will earn more and some will earn less, but lets be honest, around 75 percent will make less.

    I don't mean that.

    I mean we don't know without seeing how much collectively sky payout to all of the players each month.

    There are alot of players who got stuck between payout levels before who will now gain more money. Then there are players who will lose out.

    So none of us know exactly if this will cost sky more or save them money.

    I think this is what most people are missing and are getting angry about.  A lot of people are going 'well 10k/16/24 points is now worth less....and thats the amoung I grind/month.  The players only grinded to that amount because of the tiers, and if Sky had this more flexibile system in from day one rather than getting either, say 10 or 12k/month then they might level out at 11k/month which will even it out.

    the bonus on the old system was 100£ for between 5k and 6k

    if you get between 5k and 5.5k you will be slightly worse off.  if you get between 5.5k and 6k you will be slightly better off.  its only a few pounds either way.
