How Does The New Sky Rewards Program Shape Up For UK Mobile Customers?

One of the first things you realise as a mobile customer, which was certainly true a few years ago, is that not all sites with UK no deposit betting offer mobile customers the same opportunities and deals that you would get if you played via the website.

Indeed, even until very recently some of the very best sites in the UK offered a slimmed down service to customers who wanted to access their sports betting, poker, casino, bingo or indeed any other form of gambling service, via mobile. Some still do.

However, that trend is now changing as an increasing number of sites start to offer mobile customers the full range of features and services that a player via the website would receive.

Last year Sky Poker became one of the companies to offer mobile customers the same opportunities as those who access the site via the web so when we learned that the Sky Poker Rewards system was going to be revamped, we wondered how accessible this offer would be to mobile customers.

Well now that the new Rewards Program has been rolled out across Sky Poker we know the answer and we think mobile users are going to be very happy.

The Sky Poker Rewards Scheme updated

We have already looked in detail at the changes to the Sky Poker Rewards scheme and we gave them a thumbs up in our review which was published early in July 2015. So we are not going to go over this in great detail once again.

The main points of the upgrade to the service are that:

• Sky Poker Rewards are now given out weekly to users, rather than monthly (although those who use Sky Poker a great deal still receive a Monthly Cashback bonus on top of the rewards they receive on a weekly basis).
• The Rewards system has been extended to incorporate more users that may not play as frequently or spend as much on Sky Poker as the old scheme, which tended to require players to play on the site a lot longer.
• Promotions such as the “Rewards Accelerator” promotions make it easier than ever for players to accrue enough Sky Poker points to earn at least the first level of weekly awards.
• The Rewards Scheme now offers entry into specialist freeroll events as a prize as well as tournament tokens and a cash back initiative for the higher levels.
• All cash games that you can play on Sky Poker are included in the offer. So if you are playing any type of real cash game on the site, including from your mobile, then your play will earn you Sky Poker points.
• You can still use your accrued Sky Poker Points to enter the daily £20 GTD freerolls on the site.
• Higher level players with much larger bankroll can receive cashback on their playing of between 10% and 20% depending on the monthly status level that they reach.
• The Daily Freeroll event takes place at 30pm each weekday from Monday through to Friday and any player who attains a weekly level in the Rewards scheme will be granted entry to a week of these freeroll events as their first bonus.

It is obvious that Sky Poker put a lot of thought into ensuring that their Rewards Scheme was not only workable for them, but attractive enough to a broader range of players to encourage them to participate and on that score, the Sky Rewards Scheme update has really hit the mark.

So the question is, how accessible is this reward scheme for mobile players?

The verdict for UK mobile poker players

The great news for mobile users is that with the upgrades to the Sky Poker service for mobile users last year, this new revamp means that you can access every aspect of the service and the offer in full without any deterioration because of you accessing the site or app via mobile.

Essentially, this means that if you play Sky Poker via an iOS device or an Android phone or tablet, you’ll have the exact same opportunities as you would have if you played via the website from a PC or laptop.

This is in marked contrast to just 18 months ago when Sky Poker didn’t have a mobile option at all and Sky Poker players had to participate in this promotion (or indeed any promotion) from a PC. Indeed, you could not even play poker via your mobile (just use the casino sites and sports betting).

As such, the future for the mobile player on Sky Poker looks rosy and initiatives like the Sky Poker Reward scheme revamp just means that more players now have a good reason to continue to play with the site, either via their PC or via their mobile and that can only be a good thing.

As such it is fair to say that while they may have been one of the slowest UK based gambling companies to get their mobile service up and running, Sky Poker’s new mobile poker service is arguably one of the best, if not the best, option you can find in the UK alongside the likes of the also revamped Bet365 Mobile Poker service, 888 Poker and Pokerstars.

Alongside that, Sky’s new Reward Scheme is also as good, if not better than any similar scheme listed on the sites above.
