Sky Poker Reviewed by Pete Kaminski – Feb 9th, 2012

Sky Poker is a UK-focused online poker operator that has been steadily gaining traction in the last few years, thanks largely to their major TV presence in the UK and the popularity of their no deposit offer.

Sky Poker £10 No Deposit Bonus

Getting £10 free from SkyPoker.com is easy. You just have to meet two conditions: 1) You must not have made a Sky Poker account in the past, and 2) You must be from one of the follow countries: United Kingdom, Ireland, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Finland, Gibraltar, Greece, Sweden.

Meet both? Sign up using this link and use the promo code POKER at sign up. You also qualify for a £1000 bonus that you can earn playing at Sky – and no minimum deposit is required for that, either.

Sky Poker Software

Sky Poker is Mac compatible. There is not a mobile version of the poker room available at the moment.

Sky Poker has a solid poker software package that is easy to use and visually appealing. New players will quickly feel at home in the Sky Poker lobby, where you can quickly find the games you’re looking for.

Sky Poker Games / Traffic

Speaking of games, Sky Poker has a medium-sized player base, meaning you’ll see enough traffic to support games around the clock, but will find the selection to be the best around peak times – generally in the evenings and on the weekends. Most of the games will be in the low-to-mid buy in range, and NLHE is the most popular game in the Sky Poker lobby. Other available games include:

Limit Texas holdem
Omaha Poker (PLO and Hi/Lo)
7 card stud / 7 card stud Hi/lo variant

Tournaments at Sky Poker are also available in a number of flavors, from freerolls that require no buy in to play to tournaments with buy ins in the hundreds. The average tournament entry cost is right around £10.

Sky Poker Bonuses & Loyalty Programs

Sky Poker offers a points-for-cash system as their VIP program. The rewards are actually quite generous, and can exceed 50% rakeback at various points in the program.

New players can receive the no deposit bonus at Sky as well as a generous £1000 bonus that they earn on top of their points-for-cash bonuses. What’s best is that bonus is NOT a match bonus – no matter what your deposit, or if you even choose not to deposit at all, you are still eligible to earn the bonus.

Sky Poker Deposits & Withdrawals

Sky accepts just about every payment method you can think of. Primary payment methods include VISA, MasterCard, Maestro cards, Neteller, Skrill, Laser, Visa debit cards and more.

For those wondering, yes – you can deposit at Sky Poker using Paypal. Policies on all banking may vary by country, so please confirm with Sky Poker before playing.

Sky Poker Safety & Customer Service

You’ll have the option of getting support via live chat, email or telephone at Sky Poker.
