I have always been very dubious of these offers,there is always some catch

Curiousity got the better of me.

Can confirm after registering,£10,00 tournament token is credited to your account instantly.Can be used to enter multiple tournaments

You do need a valid debit/credit card to take advantage of the offer though

Hi bewilderedman,

I'm unsure about the cred/debit card to take advantage of the offer, but know a certain number of points need to be accumulated before the free £10 can be withdrawn.

We've had quite a few players go for it and no complaints so far!

SkyPoker is owned by bSkyb who could certainly be argued to be the biggest company involved in online poker. Read more about the company on their Wikipedia Page.

You can not complete registration without entering a valid debit/credit card

I tried to leave this blank,it would not let me proceed

Would never deposit any money on this site

No client,everything is done in broswer. Tournaments did not even open when started.Had to locate "launch tournament button"

Tile table function does not work,just places tables all over your screen

Sat down at a cash table,when i closed it money was not returned to balance.Had to reload the table,god knows how i got the money back to balance but i did somehow

There is a downloadable client available. It's not the best software but it's ok if you are just playing a few tables.

I did have one problem with 2 tournament tickets disappearing when I entered one tournament though, which I had to contact support to get back. So there whole set up is certainly less than perfect.

Just check your phone first to make sure rupert murdock hasnt tapped it

Thanks op I will check it out

Haha. Just saw this. Very nice!

All joking aside, it's a pretty unique room and worth most players checking out imo.

I have been with Sky Poker for a year now and can honestly say i trust the site 100% (which is more than i can say for some of the sites mentioned on this forum for sure!). Good TV channel too - SKY 861, jolly good fun and well worth a look.

If you plan to play there regularly, you'd be better off depositing your own £10 and going through a rakeback site.

I've always wondered do sites like these offer softer opponents?

One of the softest sites online but with one of the worst client online

lol shill 1 post

This is pretty funny, it is possible that it is a shill account. However as Jamie stated above I wouldn't let that put you off Sky. They are a good room who are going in the right direction poker wise.

Chris

What is the rake like on this site?

Obvious shill is obvious.

If I was shilling, Id say something positive and add things that everyone everyone knows already and you cant really bull**** on like " I been playing with Sky for over a year and nothing has gone wrong so I trust the site to be legit. Software could use updating but im perfectly fine with it. As an added bonus, Im hooked on their good TV channel also, SKY 861 something you all should look into.
