'Kings of Cash' - £20,000 of cash on offer...
Hi everyone
We wanted to let you know about our 'Kings of Cash' promotion for October.
The promotion will be split into 3 tiers, ‘Lower, Middle and Upper' and are based on cash games played at the following blind levels:
Lower - Small blind 2p-10p with £2,000 of cash prizes
Middle - Small blind 15p-25p with £5,000 of cash prizes
Upper - Small blind 50p+ with £8,000 of cash prizes
You can qualify for a prize in more than one tier too.
On top of that, there is going to be a £5,000 Freeroll for people who earn 1,000+ poker points (on cash, MTTs or STTs) in the month of October.
See here for full details on how to take part etc.
Start now by entering the promo code KING
Good luck!

ok first confused question
are poker points and cash for points the same thing ?
Glad you like it.
Poker points are what you earn (and are shown on the homepage 'widget') and Cash for Points is how we reward / pay people for the points they earn each month.
Thanks

Important note - you MUST "Opt-IN" to be part of the "Kings of Cash" thing.
If you do not "opt-in", you will NOT be eligible.
You can opt-in NOW, if you wish - so you don't forget on Monday - but you don't have to opt-in yet.
It will start at 00.01 on Monday.
There is nothing to prevent you opting in NOW if you wish.
To Opt-In, go to "My Account" & enter the Promo Code "KING".
If you Opt-in AFTER 20th October, it will NOT count.
The only other points were league points and I don't even think they exist anymore.
EDIT: Already on it Tikay, I'm in!
ok ofc, cash is paid out based on the number of poker points you gain
Not to be confused with league points :S
I just win money - points just confuse me tbh, initially I was getting league and poker points mixed up but now my mind is clear and my boots are empty - fetch me a beer and I'll show you a good time baby !
I though maybe this "KING" was based on league ppoint but it's not so...... BONUS TIME !
i was taking a break til nxt friday when c4p were paid but thats now out the window.
like the fact that theres been a split into different levels and should give most players something to aim at
I reckon to scrape in the top 20 for the low stakes you probably need to earn abuot 4,000 poker points, 10k will probably be a win.
EDIT: TinTin to win the low stakes one if he puts his usual volume in and does it at 10NL.
Maybe worth paying action tables
If TINTIN does same volume at NL20 - looking at 13,000 points
Thats some sick volume though - think I will aim for about 6,000 if I am lucky -
Be intrested to know what points a 6-8 hour a day grinder gets at NL20 -
How many raked hands an hour - about 20 ?

I saw 10p and assumed that was the BB not the SB. Oh well, that means, it's gonna be a bit tricky for me to get in, but hey that won't deter me from trying, and at least getting ni the 5k freeroll minimum.
So yeah 10k-ish is probably needed to get in the top 20
R.I.P sit and go's .
i emptied pretty much all my account on tuesday as i had several things crop up with i needed my funds for short term wise, hence why i was gonna wait til my c4p dropped into my account nxt week before playing again.
i think i will be able to make a small deposit on monday to get me going til friday comes around but even then i would have a skinny roll to attack nl10 and tbh i would need to run good in first few days to feel just slightly comfortable with the number of buyins i would have. i really doubt i would even venture near a nl20 table at any point in the month.
i made 10k points playing 6 tables a few months back and know if i can get comfy at nl10 pretty quick and with the abilty to play 12 tables now (thanks new pc) then i could pass the 15k mark. i have no idea what nl20 grinders could acheive but there must be a few who can do that and possibly more.
i will of course give it a try, but who knows what kind of start i will be giving people
Great Promotion, n1 Sky Poker
I think the triple tier + freeroll for all is a great feature.
o no you didn't )
