I asked about that too.  Think they just hold it for 24 hours to ensure everything is above board.

Here you go.....

Sky Poker has the right to hold any, and all, of a Player's funds indefinitely as a precautionary measure whilst we perform routine checks for fraudulent activity. Fraudulent activity may include, but is not limited to, stolen credit cards, transfer of funds to other Player Accounts (chip dumping), forgery, collusion and the provision of false information.

As a precautionary measure we will hold all Poker winnings for a period of 24 hours. During this time you will not be able to cash out these funds, nor will you be able to use these funds on any other Sky Bet product. However, you may use any, or all, of these Held Funds at any time to continue playing at Sky Poker.

I'm not sure m8........some of the higher cash game players will be able to tell you

They must have an equation set into the system. If you win x amount of £ within x amount of time it holds it. Chances are you weren't playing very long and won a decent amount.
