From the Betfair thread;

I emailed on this regard several days ago - I've had no reply.

95% of my play is in tournaments - I passed the requirement in this regard on the 11th November, yet I've heard nothing so far. Could you enquire please?

User name is same as forum name.

Thanks,

Zakky24

I am in the same boat, Kiera said she was looking into it. SHe is waiting on a reply from the manager there

It took about 4 weeks from me finishing the bonus (also mainly in tournies) before I recieved my books today.

<< bump >>

Still awaiting an answer to either this post or my email.

I'm getting concerned that as I only opened this account due to the free books offer...

Please respond.

Regards,

Zakky24

When I hear anything new from Sky Poker on this I will let you know.

I have received confirmation today that tournament fees are not included in the £2 rake required to receive the bonus from the Sky Poker offer. I have updated the bonus page accordingly. For anyone who has signed up prior to December 13th, and has not already claimed your book bonus, please contact me at bonus_support@twoplustwo.

Email sent early on 14th December...??

Yes, I sent your player name to be assessed by our SkyPoker affiliate manager on Friday. At this point it seems like you will be eligible for the bonus but I will let you know as soon as it is confirmed.

Keira,

Many thanks for sorting this out - a great new year's present!

Cheers,

Two qustions here.
Sky Poker does not have a sign in bonus other than the books ?
How is the player rake amount tracked to know when its requirements are cleared ?
Thanks...

first Question im not sure.

second Question, I dont think there is a way (apart from emailing SkyPoker and asking how much rake you have generated).

When I signed up to there, I just played some SNGs, so I knew how much I had generated. But now ONLY cash games count

Thanks for the reply...
But since Skypoker do not deal with Neteller it makes pretty awful to withdrawal later from Brazil.

Will have to Skip these one.

Thanks anyway.

Wow I am absolutely disgusted, I just deposited 30 pounds to Sky and now I find out that for any withdrawals not to the UK they only do bank transfers with a transfer fee of 27 pounds. This is absolutely sick and you guys really need to print this fact on your bonus page. What a disgusting policy. I basically just gave them $60 CAD, since there's no way I can get it back now. I don't even think they do p2p transfers.

If there's anyone that knows how a Canadian can withdraw without paying that ridiculous fee please let me know. Perhaps a Brit who can withdraw from that site would be willing to do a transfer with me to a different site? I have funds on FTP, Stars, Party, Everest, PokerRoom, and Betfair.

I recommend that nobody outside the UK does this bonus, because it will practically cost you the full price of the books anyway if you can't withdraw.

This charge has got nothing to do with 2+2, I was charged it too. Try to win $$$ at skypoker and then cash out?

I know that, I wasn't blaming 2+2. I'm just saying it would have been nice if the charge had been more prominent so I wouldn't have to waste my time and money.

Anyway, nah I'll just chalk it up to a loss. I absolutely hate their software and don't want to play 1 more minute than I need to to clear the bonus. It is very slow, and they have almost no traffic. Very disappointing . Maybe I'll just take it all to one table and see how far I can run it up.

Their rake structure and Card policy.

I suppose even playing at the smallest blinds, a two pound rake is quite easy to obtain ?

Does anyone know if the withdrawal fee affects users in the U.K.? If any Brit who's completed this promo could comment on their experience that'd be fantastic, cheers

I did this bonus in the UK. There was no withdrawral fee.

Am i right that skypoker doesn't use moneybookers, neteller etc at all?
just credit cards?
I'm just confused, cause thats an easy way to keep all the costumers away.

you are 100% correct,

and the will NOT issue checks, which means roughly a $50 withdrawl fee for anyone outside the UK

i really think that should be pointed out somewhere...

it is pointed out on the Skypoker site. once again it has NOTHING to do with 2+2.

Stay away from Sky it sucks, bad software and non UK residents seem to get shafted!

Sorry i placed my last post on this thread in the wriong place, didn't mean for it to refer to sign up bonus,

Sweet, ty
