Sky Poker Points Reward Scheme

Sky Poker values all of our poker players and therefore they have introduced a player reward scheme. The scheme works by rewarding every player with 'Poker Points' based on their real money gameplay. These points are rewarded every time a player plays in a Real Money Game as well as Sit 'n Go's and Multi Table Tournaments.

To get you off to a good start Sky Poker will automatically award 500 Poker Points to each new customer. Using your Poker Points will add to your fun as you will be able to use them to buy entry into selected tournaments rather than paying cash!

How to Earn Poker Points

Every time you participate in a Real Money Game you will earn valuable Sky Poker Points. This will be based on the stakes of the table below.

A raked hand is defined as any hand in which you are dealt hole cards and a minimum of 1 pence in rake is taken.

You will also earn Bonus Poker Points for buying in to any Multi and Single Table Tournament. You will earn 10 Poker Points for every £1 in entrance fees paid, for example, if you enter a £10 + £1 tournament, the £10 is your contribution to the prize fund and the additional £1 is the "fee" that you pay. This means in this example that you will earn 10 Bonus Poker Points. All loyalty points earned will be credited to your account at the end of each hand or tournament and can be viewed by going to 'My Account'.

Redeeming Poker Points

Earning Poker Points is easy but cashing them in is more fun. You can use your hard earned Poker Points to enter selected Multi Table Tournaments called freerolls. Instead of paying cash, just look for these Tournaments in the lobby and use your Poker Points to buy your entry.
