There’s Nothing Chilly About Sky Poker’s Winter Games Promotion

Sky Poker Winter Games PromoAs you will know if you have read these pages previously, no deposit poker offers are relatively common and we do our level best to bring you the newest deals each week.

Most often this means scouring the top poker sites for news of offers and promotions, but occasionally one site will have a big promotion release that deserves a blog post all of its own.

This week, that site is Sky Poker and in particular, its fantastic £28,000 Winter Games Promotion, in celebration of the imminent start of the 22nd Winter Olympic Games in snowy Sochi, Russia.

It won’t just be the athletes seeking top prizes of Gold, Silver and Bronze over the next few weeks as some of Sky Poker’s top players battle it out for a host of fabulous promotions.

Let’s take a look at them in a bit more detail.

Sky Poker’s Winter Games Leaderboard

During February, Sky Poker will run two Winter Games Leaderboard promotions, each with a prize fund of £7,500 (for a total prize fund of £15,000).

The top 300 finishers on the leaderboard in each promotion will win a prize of free entry into the qualification-only Winter Games Freeroll (see below) with the top 100 finishers also earning a cash prize.

On top of that, the top three in each promotion will win Gold, Silver and Bronze medals, along with prizes of £1000, £700 and £300 respectively. Players finishing 4th to 100th will receive cash prizes of between £200 and £25 depending on their finishing position.

The competition works in very much the same way that Sky Poker’s other leaderboard based promotions have done.

Players must register for the promotion by clicking a link and entering the word WINTER into the promotional code box. Once registered, a player then needs to earn Poker Points between the 1st and 14th of February (for the first promotion) and then the 15th and 28th February (for the second).

The more points you earn, the higher up the leaderboard you go and the higher up the leaderboard you go, the bigger the prize you will receive when the end date of each of the promotions is reached.

Your points total in the competition will reset automatically when the end date of the first tournament is reached, so that every player starts the second tournament on 0 points and only points earned in the qualifying dates qualify for that specific tournament.

If you are a Sky Poker Priority Club member then you are ineligible to take part in this offer, which gives smaller stakes players an even bigger chance of landing a decent prize.

Sky Poker’s Winter Games Freerolls

In addition to the Leaderboard competition, Sky Poker are also running a seies of four £2,000 freeroll events over the course of February, with the games slated to take place at 2pm GMT on the 9th, 16th, 23rd February and the 2nd March.

There are basically two different types of freeroll events available, two that any player can qualify for and two that are invitation only.

Once again, you need to register for these events by entering the code WINTER on the site, but once you do (and meet the qualification criteria for each event), you can play in these freerolls.

Winter Games Freerolls on 9th and 23rd February

These freeroll events are open to all Sky Poker players who enter the promotion and who earn at least 10 Sky Poker points between the 1st and 7th of February for the freeroll on the 9th, and the 15th and 21st February for the freeroll on the 23rd.

Once you have been confirmed as passing the criteria for entry, you’ll be allowed to register for the event and a chance to earn a share of a £2,000 prize fund.

Winter Games Freerolls on 16th February and 2nd March

The two freeroll events on these dates are invitation only freerolls to players who finished in the top 300 places in each of the Winter Games Leaderboard competitions held that month.

If you manage to snag one of these places, you will be allowed to enter the corresponding freeroll and a chance to win part of a £2,000 prize fund.

Sky Poker’s Cash Game Championship

It’s not just tournament players who can get in on the fun as if you register the code CASH, you can take part in Sky Poker’s £5,000 Cash Game Championship.

Running from the 15th to the 28th February inclusive, all the Poker Points you earn playing cash games on Sky Poker will accrue and you will earn yourself a place on the leaderboard. If you finish in the top 50 places you win a prize of between £25 up to £1,000 for the winner.

And of course, the top three positions will also win coveted Gold, Silver and Bronze medals too!

It is important to remember that only Poker Points earned on cash tables between the 15th and 28th of February count towards this promotion. As such, if you have a budget for cash table play, it may well be beneficial to focus playing towards the end of the month to see if you can earn a bonus from this promotion.

Unlike the Winter Games Leaderboard promotion, the Cash Game Championship is open to all Sky Poker players regardless of their Priority Club status.

This trio of promotions under the Winter Games banner means Sky Poker have announced £28,000 worth of prize money for a host of free to enter promotions, for the month of February alone.

Remember, you can join Sky Poker today and take advantage of all of these offers when you do. In addition, you’ll qualify for an excellent £20 no deposit bonus, plus up to $400 free cash when you make your first deposit!

So if you think you have what it takes to land Gold, step up to the plate, strap on your Winter Woolies and join today. You will immediately be rewarded with a free Sky Poker no deposit bankroll.
