What do they do in those 5 working days ?

Could we get our bonus money straight away but only be able to play with it and not withdraw until the 5th working day if that's so special.. like held funds


EDIT: I am still a bit drunk so use small words please

    This is one of the reasons I was thinking of, yet they could/should give us iot as non-withdrawable money until the 5th working day

    Tikay has said before, but basically it's a manual process the system of dishing out C4P to everyone, so it does take a long time to do. The alternative is to earn 10,000+ points, then you can have it straight away (or even early) cos you'll be special :)

    Lol is this a slight moan about the fact you can't play the HU final til Donk gets his C4P paid? If so, that's not really Sky's fault lol

    The idea that Sky keep the C4Ps cos of the interest in a bank account is ridic.

    The amount of interest earned in 5 days will be tiny.

    If Sky were to pay out the C4Ps instantly then they would probably see more of a benefit from the increased liquidty on the site for those first fiew days.

    FWIW when Sky was a much smaller site the C4P used to be paid out within 3 days I think.  Its just because of the workload associated with the process.

    I would imagine that the figures are done manually as any kind of error on an automatic process could potentially be very costly.

    That's a good point, maybe when they get more confident in the points widgety thing they'll eventually pay it out quicker

    Would Wonga.com take the C4P payday as security on a 5 day loan? #AskHoggers

    We can assure you this has nothing to do with interest - lol.

    It's simply because it takes time, especially when there are linked promos.

    We're up front about when we pay this and we pay it (on the 5th business day).

    If we don't do this, we get many people asking when it's going to be paid, which you might have noticed some people still do. What we have is the best solution all round and lets everyone know in advance and so you dont need to ask.

    C4P it one of many great offers we do and it's there to reward not annoy people.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks

    Don't Just Expect it........Embrace it - it is a bonus - we know when we are going to get it every Month, so just deal with it.

    I'm sure with the amount of players that are entitled to C4P - Whether it it be Automated or manually collated it still takes sometime to authorise and transfer the funds.

    GET A GRIP - If you rely on your cash for points bonus to play your poker, then you seriously need to take a look at your bank roll management.

    You could always try and qualify for the Priority Club. :)

    I don't, I just think it should evolve to an automated process.

    I disagree that it is a bonus, we earn it, and without it a large chunk of the player base switches sites instantly.

    Oh and LOL at telling me to "GET A GRIP" <3

    But will it ever be automated?

    It's not the best solution, that would be paying up at 0:00 on the first of every month ;)
