What is Sky Poker’s Priority Club?

Sky Poker’s Priority Club is an extension of the Sky Poker Rewards program. Whereas the Rewards program is aimed at rewarding players who spend between a certain amount of money on the Sky Poker site each week (starting from those who earn 50 Sky Poker Points and upwards), the Sky Priority Club is only available to those who spend considerably more on the site.

In the real world, Priority Club members are the online equivalent to the ‘high roller’ type of player who are the ones that seem to receive all the additional complimentary benefits from hotels and casinos in places like Atlantic City, Macau and Las Vegas.

Of course, in an online environment it is difficult to reward players with the likes of free meals and drinks, complimentary rooms and free tickets to shows, and the amount of money players spend is generally scaled down to the multi-millions some of the whales spend on one of their gambling sprees.

So the good news is that more people can experience what it is like to be an online ‘higher roller’ by spending enough at Sky Poker to become part of the Priority Club. When you do then you are eligible for additional rewards above and beyond those that you receive as a member of the more accessible Sky Rewards program.

So what is the threshold I need to reach in order to become a Sky Poker Priority Club member?

The first thing you need to know is that the Sky Poker Priority Club is not a weekly rewards system but is instead a monthly one, which does give players added time to earn the required Sky Poker points to qualify for membership.

To qualify for the club you need to earn a minimum of 10,000 Poker Points throughout the course of the month. Once you have qualified for Priority Club status, you need to earn 10,000 points in each month afterwards in order to retain that status and to keep receiving the special benefits afforded by the club.

Refresh my mind, how do I earn Poker Points again

?

You earn poker points with Sky Poker by playing in real cash games on the site. You earn them at the following rates:

• Cash Games – 6 Points for every £1 contributed to the rake.
• Sit & Go – 10 Points for every £1 paid in tournament fees
• Multi Table Tournaments – 10 Points for every £1 paid in tournament fees.

Remember, that if you enter a tournament that is advertised as £10 + £1 to enter, then the £10 is your prize fund contribution and it is the £1 that is the tournament fee on which you earn your Sky Poker Points.

That seems a lot of points I need to earn to become a Priority Club member each month…

Yes, that is why it is a Priority Club. The point is that it will only really apply a select number of Sky Poker customers that earn the required 10,000 Sky Poker Points or more each month. For most other Sky Poker members, they can receive rewards from earning Poker Points via the Rewards programme.

Priority Club members will generally be the players that populate the higher stakes games on the site at the Cash Tables, Sit & Go games and in Multi Table Tournaments, such as the Super Roller on a Sunday which is a £110 buy in (£10 of which is tournament fees, which over the course of the month equates to £40 in tournament fees, or 400 Sky Poker Points alone from this tournament).

What are the benefits of Priority Club Membership?

There are numerous benefits available as a Priority Club member. These are listed below to see what the biggest spenders on Sky Poker can expect to receive from the scheme.

• Entry into special events for Priority Club members only, such as the Priority Big Cash Game, which offers six Priority Club members the chance to play for a £9,000 prize fund completely free.
• Access to £3,000 worth of freeroll events exclusively for Priority customers each month.
• Your own Personal Account manager who will deal with all aspects of your membership
• A special treat on your birthday every year
• A ‘Sick Day’ Allowance which can be used to maintain membership of Priority Club in the event that you may not earn the required 10,000 Poker Points in a month.
• Bubble Insurance when playing in the 8pm Main Event, where if you go out on the Bubble Sky Poker will refund your tournament buy in. The amount of places on or adjacent to the Bubble where you receive this bonus increases the higher you climb with your Priority Status (Bronze, Silver, Gold and then Platinum).
• A Jackpot Boost on the Final Table Jackpot bonus payment of between 5% and 20% extra if you manage to win a prize.

The biggest benefit however is that each month you play with Sky Poker as a Priority Club member you will receive Rakeback on your monthly spend, as part of the Monthly Sky Poker Priority Rewards program, alongside entry into each £1k freeroll, held every weeknight (Monday to Friday).

The rakeback rewards available are outlined in the table below:

So if you are a player who is likely to spend a considerable amount of time and money playing poker either professionally, semi-professionally or even as an enthusiastic amateur, then Sky Poker Priority Club is well worth a closer look. This is due to the numerous awards it offers players in addition to the smaller rewards available on the Sky Poker Rewards scheme.
