THANK YOU SKY POKER for my birthday bonus....appreciated

In Response to THANK YOU SKY POKER for my £20 birthday bonus....appreciated:
just thought i'd give sky a little mention as they gave me £20 yesterday as it was my birthday. all i had to do was deposit £20 into my account,which i did. it's not very often that i or many others have good things to say about sky poker so on this occasion i thought that it was worth the mention.

    Happy birthday for yesterday and congratulations on the £20 bonus.

    It was my birthday in august and sky gave me a £5 bonus which i was very happy with at the time but now i've seen your bonus i'm thinking i've been the victim of a cleric error.

    Surely sky value all of their customers equally and i can expect the second part of my bonus to arrive in the next couple of days.

    I'll be looking out for the e-mail.  ;-)

    ps well done with your dym grind.

    Do Sky do this for all players, or is it based on recent Cash 4 Points etc., as I recieved nothing on my birthday (but did receive a £5 deposit bonus over the weekend)?
  • edited September 2012

    It is not done for ALL players - no.

    It is a gift, & as such, they give it voluntarily, & it is not part of any Terms & Conditions.

    I'm guessing there will be a VERY complicated algorithm to work out "Birthday Bonuses"  It'll be something like..... 

    How long on the site + (net deposits-net withdrawals)+ rake paid+C4p (- No. of tourney victories) +posts on the community (minus bad beat posts!) DIVIDED by age next birthday+ factor depending which area of the country you live in. (e.g. There will be a rather large London "Weighting" allowance).   ;-))

    Lol well this is a pretty stupid reply.

    I've earned sky thousands and thousands of pounds over the years, been in the priority club for roughly 2 of the last 2 and a half years.  I slip out of the priority and instead of recieving £50 like priority members, i recieve nothing.  Well not nothing, a free £5 if i deposit £5.  Why would i deposit £5 ???

    I then find out other people are receieving greater sums .  e.g Dev  £20

    I'm pretty sure Dev has never been in priority and creates much less rake than i do for Sky.

    When in priority i was very greatful to recieve my £50 bonus last year, and was very greatful to recieve a nice gift around xmas time.   
    But...     If i was in Tesco and a nice lady was handing out £20 notes to people (Who shop less than me), and then gave me only £5.   I would soon shop elsewhere .  Catch my drift.

    Well yeah, definitely a fair point from your point of view. In my previous post, I was more referring to the people who get £5 and are generally small recreational players. Like I got £5 on my birthday once, and I wouldn't complain because it's just money for nothing and I pay a pretty small amount in rake, but yeah if it's a tough one if you're spending much more on rake.

    But on the flip side, as Tikay said, it's not in any Ts & Cs and is all discretionary so no-one knows how they work it out, or even if there's a system, and it's free money after all.

    EDIT: Didn't know you got a little Xmas pressie + £50 on your birthday for being in priority :P  Something to look forward to I guess lol... when I've moved up the levels in cash, I should find it alot easier to make priority.

    hi 1267
    you make some good points m8
    you are right,i have never been in proirity.
    beggining to wish i'd never put this post up now,as it is obviously becoming a sore talking point for some.
    as for myself,i never asked for this bonus and as it goes it was more by luck than anything that i spotted it on my e-mail as i can sometimes go weeks without reading them.
    also when i 1st joined sky i didn't realise that i needed to sign up to receive c4p and i missed out on £15 bonus there because of it.
    so in a way,i perphaps see this as some sort of retribution.
    best wishes
    :)
