Sky Poker’s popular online festival, the UK Online Poker Series, returns Oct. 28 for a 43-event spectacular where more than £350,000 is guaranteed will be won over the course of 10 days. Sky Poker is fast to set up with no download required. When signing up you will be invited to play a freeroll where you can win up to £500 without even putting a deposit down - this game is totally free! To view your current months points look at the points display bar on your Sky Poker homepage or go to ‘my account’ and then ‘poker points and league’. Also every month you should get an email from sky telling you the status level you have reached.
Rewards will be calculated on points earned in each calendar month. Players who earn over 10,000 points a month will earn membership in the Sky Poker Priority Club and be paid on a rakeback basis.
How To Get Poker Points On Sky Poker Online
Points are awarded at the rate of 6 per £1 of rake paid at cash games and 10 per £1 of rake paid for tournaments. Rake paid for the purpose of earning points is calculated using the weighted contributed method where points are allocated according to the share of the money a player has put into the pot. Points can be tracked using the Sky Poker Rewards points toolbar in the main lobby.
The rakeback percentage for Members of the Priority Club depends on the total points earned in a month. Players that earn between 10k and 20k points receive 20% rakeback, those that earn between 20k and 30k get 25% and accumulating over 30k points registers 30% rakeback.
