Ian JohnIf you are looking for a bumper selection of promotions then this week you should head over to Sky Poker, where there is not one, not even two but three outstanding offers and promotions to participate in.
We’ll take a look at each of these exciting offers in more detail below including a look at two different promotions aimed at boosting the amount of Sky Poker points you earn this month. But first we’ll begin with the announcement that one of the UK Poker scene’s biggest summer events is back for a fourth year and you can qualify for it from the comfort of your own home at Sky Poker.
Sky Poker 6-Max UK Poker Championship Promotion
For the fourth year in a row, the biannual Sky Poker Six-Max UK Poker Championship will be contested once again at the elegant Dusk Till Dawn Casino, based in Nottingham, England. A 
city once famous for Boots the chemist, two football clubs and the legend of Robin Hood can now boast one of the summer’s premiere poker tournaments amongst its wealth of attractions.
Sky Poker are the sponsors of this superb event which takes place in August (19th to the 22nd inclusive) at the casino and the site has stumped up a guaranteed prize fund of £250,000 for the main event, plus a number of other smaller prizes for other Six-Max events that will be contested during the four days of action.
You can’t buy in directly to the main event on Sky Poker this year. If you want to pay the £550 buy in, then you need to visit the casino and enter the main event that way. However, on Sky Poker you can satellite your way into this huge event, potentially from a starting point of paying just £1.30.
Of course, that starts you on the bottom rung of the satellite ladder, but you can opt to pay more to buy in at later levels, right up to the £120 buy in that you would need to contest the UKPC Final, held every Sunday at 9.15pm, with 15 seats in the Main Event guaranteed at least, with additional seats available at the rate of one seat per five competitors.
From Monday to Saturday, there is one satellite schedule in place, offering players the chance to play and progress through the satellites at various times during the day. There is a daily quarterfinal and semi final played each day at 7.15pm and 9.15pm with satellites into these events happening throughout the day.
On Sunday, the schedule is altered to include another way to earn a place in the weekly final, via the LR Sat and LR Semi. You can still use the same satellite schedule as you can throughout the rest of the week on Sunday, it is just that there are two additional satellites available for a fast track option through to Sunday night’s big final.
If you qualify for the big event in Nottingham in August, then the action beginds on the 19th with the 6-Max High Roller event, a £1,650 buy in event, with a £75,000 guarantee. This event is then completed the following day. The 20th is also when the 6-Max Main Event starts with staggered Day 1’s to allow for as many competitors to play as possible.
Those that qualify from the staggered Day 1 entry, will enter Day 2 on the 22nd August, with the Final day slated for the 23rd August, when the winner of the event will be crowned.
The 22nd also sees the start of the Six Max Mini event with a £50,000 prize, which is completed the following day and on the 23rd there is a 1-day Six Max tournament with a £165 entry and a guaranteed prize fund of £10,000.
As you can see, there is a huge amount of poker to be played over the coming weeks to qualify for one of this summer’s biggest poker events in the UK. Your best chance of earning a seat cheaply is with Sky Poker, so why not join today?
New UK players will receive the Sky Poker free deposit bonus deal just for creating an account.
Happy Days Double Rewards Points on Sit and Go games
Of course, before you decide to try and satellite your way into the Six Max UKPC, you may want to get some practice in and what better place to do it this weekend than with Sky Poker?
That’s because from midday on Friday 12th June, through until midday on Monday 15th June, all players who play any sit and go game (including Six-Max games) on Sky Poker, will earn double the amount of Sky Poker Rewards Points for playing.
This is to celebrate the launch of the brand new, weekly Sky Poker Rewards scheme, which is offering more players more chances to earn free tournament tickets, freeroll entry and cashback on their spending on the site.
All Sit and Go’s count and remember, as part of the promotion for the new Sky Poker Rewards scheme, players who earn enough points could win an iPad Air 2.
There is no need to opt in to this promotion, simply play any Sit and Go game on Sky Poker between the dates and times shown and you’ll be earning double points when you play.
Cash Poker Points boosted with Sky Poker every weekend in June
The third and final offer from Sky Poker this week is another linked in with the release of the excellent new Sky Poker Rewards scheme, which is now a weekly scheme paying out players every week, rather than a monthly one.
To celebrate the launch of the new scheme, Sky Poker is hoping players will collect more Sky Poker Points than usual and to help them, they are running a series of promotions and the Rewards Accelerator is a great way to help players achieve this.
Over the course of each weekend in June, at various times on each of the three days of Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the poker points earned in the stated hour will be subject to a multiplier of either 2x, 3x or 4x the amount earned.
The offer began last weekend with poker points boosted between 6pm and 9pm on each of the three days.
Week 2 sees Poker Points boosted from 9pm to 10pm (x2), 10pm to 11pm (x3) and 11pm to 12pm (x4) across each of the three days of the coming weekend.
Week 3 sees the points earned boosted from 11pm to 12am (x2), 12am to 1am (x3) and 1am to 2am (x4) on each of the three days.
Lastly, Week 4 sees poker points boosted from 4pm to 5pm (x2), 5pm to 6pm (x3) and 6pm to 7pm (x4) across each of the three days.
All cash poker games are included in this offer, which means you can play at any of the cash tables on Sky Poker at this time and be involved. Play on Sit & Go games or Multi Table Tournaments are not included.
