However, new for 2016, Sky Poker are offering players a chance to earn the crucial Sky Poker points at an increased rate thanks to their Jump Start promotion and here is exactly how you could be earning your Sky Poker points more quickly.

What is Sky Poker’s Jump Start offer?

Sky Poker are offering players that play at real cash tables with three players or fewer at the table (including the player) the chance to earn double the number of Sky Poker points for their play as they ordinarily would.

It is important to note that this offer is only available to players playing at Sky Poker Cash Tables; Sit & Go tables and Multi Table Tournament tables are not included as part of the offer.

So for example, if you load up a cash table and play against one or two other opponents, then all the Sky Poker Points you earn through your contribution to the rake in each hand will be subject to a 100% bonus, in effect doubling the amount of points you earn through your play.

Remember, you earn Sky Poker Points at the rate of 6 points per £1 of rake paid in cash table games, which means that for every £1 you pay in rake fees at a table with three players or fewer, then you will earn 12 points for that cash, as opposed to 6.

What do I need to do to participate in this offer?

To take part in this offer you first need to be a Sky Poker customer and secondly, you need to be opted in to the Sky Poker Rewards program to participate. If you have not already done this, you need to visit the My Account section of the site and in the Enter Offer Code section, enter REWARDS. This will opt you in to the program.

Once you have entered you can then find tables with one or two players sat at them and join them to start earning your rewards. Alternatively, you can create your own table at your preferred stake levels and wait for people to join you at the table.

Remember, if you join a table with one or two other players and then other Sky Poker customers subsequently join and play at the table, it is only the play when there are three players or less at the table which will earn you double the amount of Merit Points. As soon as there are four or more players at the table, then you earn your merit points at the usual rate of 6 points per £1 paid in rake.

Conversely, if you begin playing at a table with 4, 5 or 6 players and over time, the number of players drops to three players or fewer, then for each hand when there are just 3 or fewer players at the table, then you will earn Sky Poker Points at the increased rate.

Remember, you can easily see how many Sky Poker Points you are earning by checking the counter in the accounts section of the site. This updates almost immediately with all the points that you earn ensuring that you know exactly how many points you are earning and have earned in the course of a day, week or month.

Why should I seek to earn as many Sky Poker Points as possible?

The reason earning Sky Poker Points is a great idea on the site is that if you can earn enough in a qualifying week (just 50 points is enough to get you qualified for at least a prize), then you will earn a reward as part of the Sky Poker Rewards program.

Here you can earn free entry into £1,000 Rewards Freeroll events each week, tournament tokens and even a stated amount of money for each Sky Poker Point you earn in a given week. All of which is paid to you at the beginning of the following week for you to enjoy on Sky Poker immediately.

That’s not all however as if you are a player who earns a lot of points in the course of a month (10,000 points or more) then you can also qualify for the Sky Poker Priority Rewards Club, which offers you a host of different benefits and boosts, on top of what you already receive from the weekly rewards promotion.

In essence, whatever Sky Rewards award you qualify for, the more points you accrue in a week or month, then the greater the value of your reward will likely be. As such, anything that boost rewards is something players should take note of.

Is there a time limit on the Jump Start offer?

There is no time limit stated on Sky Poker’s Jump Start offer, which means it should be available for the longer term. However, one thing worth noting is that Sky Poker have stated that if another promotion is available which affects the tables for the Jump Start offer, then only one bonus will be applied to the account, rather than two.

The good news for players who access Sky Poker from a mobile is that you can participate in this offer fully from your choice of mobile device.
