Sky Poker Avis 

It's the bad beats that get you. You go in with the best and 90% of the time you will get hammered. You can sit for a while waiting for a reasonable hand to raise like KK and you find yourself up against AA all too often. I quite liked the STT but it's the same player base each time and it's just boring. Cashed out never to return. Player base is just way too small. I'll stick to Pokerstars.

Played on sky poker for 12 years and have just tried to log in to my account only to be told it has been permanently closed and is irreversible till 3019. Was told since sky gaming has been bought over by flutter and I have excluded myself from one of their sister sites years before they even bought over sky they have automatically closed my account without any consultation. Played on here for 12 years mostly regular and dont play on any other site so have been a loyal customer made friends and got to know the regulars, contributed to the forum only to be treated like this. Since flutter took over there has been absolutely no investment in the poker side, the software is outdated and crashes all the time, guaranteed prize pools are way down, player numbers have been diminished, i believe they now only have 2 staff members on the poker side so waiting times for live chat and phone calls are very legnthy. There will be no site left the way they are going and I think this has always been their plan. Absolute disgusting way to treat a loyal player of 12 years just because he excluded from a sister site years before they bought sky over........Midnightma

I should add if it wasn't for the flutter (stars groups) acquisition in 2020 of sky poker which has been devastating for the poker side of sky gaming in lack of funding tech updating, staffing etc... it's like they only want the betting and Vegas side of the company and will soon disband the poker and fantasy football side. I would give the site a 4 star rating as for me what they do have going for them that other sites dont is.....
1. Tikay
2. A great community of players, some players stream so you get to feel like you know them, most players come across as nice guys who make you feel part of the small community, a lot of players are friends with each other out with the site and meet up at spt's
3. The forum.... is a good place to have others advise on how you played certain hands and help to improve your overall play as well as just some good old banter
4. Smaller player numbers (only uk based players) make it easier for tourneys to finish in a managable time frame and not run for ovet 10hrs
5. All tournaments are 6 man tables
6. Feels more like being part of a club

1 star under flutter and 4/5 stars without flutter

I hope one day flutter will move on the poker side to someone that can run it properly and save it from ruin

Been on the site for over 3 years now, with over 17k games played (heads up and tourney). It’s a smallish community and the regulars know how the others play and know how to identify the fish (like me).

I play the £2- £11 games. Tried moving to the £33 tourneys and got butchered.

Would recommend for rec players.

Had a great experience at first but the last few months have shown me how terrible this poker site is. Really poor players get rewarded so stay away

Hadn’t read the reviews until after i have cashed out and uninstalled the App and I can now confirm the site is rigged in the favour of bad players.

It happens in poker; you can get called by a donkey with A rag vs KK and they can luck out but bad beat hands after hand in the favour of bad players is demoralising. The final straw for me was being called all in pre flop by 94 against my 88 (on the bubble both short stacks) and him hitting a 9 on the river. These kind of hands consistently happen on this poor site and I’m writing whilst I’m ahead and won’t be back.

Not been here for a while and after 50 hands i can remember why..... Poker sites are always under fire for the deals and can often feel targeted as a player.

This site is very frustrating after playing poker online and offline for over twenty years (both are very different experiences).

Most of the time your dealt a hand like 6 2 off suited and cant do very much with this deal, then you have a decent pocket and you can guarantee the river will deal out the best card for the donkey. You can have a set or even a straight but the person gambling it all with nothing wins every time on the river and this is the constant.

I dont play online to get rich but to pass the time and play on numerous sites, this is the worst site tilting and it seems some of the players know how to work this too their advantage and wine with a 3 2 off suited or such like every time.

There are other sites who's algorhtyms are not quite as aggressive, online poker will always have an element of doubted trust (as someone who is familair with API's etc i know how this all works) But when your constantly losing to the worst hand post river you have to wonder how this is so consistent and why....

I will let you make apply your own theory to keep the review in line with conditions, I cam here due the dollar being weak but actually playing the dollar elsewhere proves to a much better playing experience. The sites with little population have to be aggressive with their algo's to make their profits hence it why it feels more aggressive as opposed to other global sites with ten times the population and less need to manipulate to deal to increase profits.

Remember the site needs you to play but they dont want to pay you in the long run.... you do the maths ;)

The software and game flow is great but little tables as people who play here invest small and dont stah for long.......for obvious reasons ;)

What a bent poker site this is......stay well clear of this site....you will never win in the long term AVOID......
Bots Bots and more Bots

After a month thought I’d give it another chance, nope! Players chasing seem to get rewarded, maybes sky likes their money more? Are they putting more in? To many flushes - had a player call with 10/8 because they were suited - and guess what? Flush turns up. Chasing a run? Sky will oblige

very bad! unreal piattaforme you don’t see the privies hand the costumer service don’t answer to you seems like you playing vs same kind of computer sky poker 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

7 pocket aces in 4 days,lost every one,3 to 3jacks 2 to runs,2 to flushes. J3,j7,jj,fixed?

Worst poker site ive ever played on ...i will As or a high hand 90% of time will get called with weak hands n get beat
Eg ..tonight i had AQ went all in got called with pairs of 3s..flop comes A Q 2 NEXT 2 CARDS 4 THEN A 5...really got lost sky u need to be investigated quick i for one will be reporting ur bot players...enter one torney at a time yet on heads up 10 of the games got same player ...how your getting away with it..oh i know how cos of who you are ...cheating scumbags

First of all, I am biased, I am down £1000. I am a decent player. In person and on poker stars I consistently make profit, some losses but on the whole, very much a profit. Like I said, I am good, no professional by any standard but good, better than 95% of people.

I do not want to say it’s rigged because obviously it’s a mixture of skill and luck but what I will say, is that poker consists of one deck of cards. Therefore, it should be impossible for two of the exact same card to come up. Except that happened to me and when reported to sky and photographic evidence shown, they stated it was an error and the wrong symbol showed up… This was days ago and millions of people have played and they have errors like that after years? That should make you question things.

Also, any real poker player knows that sky poker shows better hands than real poker to keep people interested. The amount of Royal and straight flushes, flush’s, 4 of a kind is just absurd and therefore it makes the experience different to real poker and other better sites. It tricks you into thinking you have a good hand to put more money down but everybody has a better hand then usual because they want you to make more money.

Lastly, there are some players which are on the higher value tables all the time (blinds of 2 and 4 +) Daily. Eg.chucksnuts. Again I do not want to make accusations but this player in particular goes all in and raises with awful cards and wins almost every time. There is skill and luck involved in poker but this player has gone all in with 2’s and 3’s of different suites and won against pocket K’s. The amount of times I have seen this player so this and make 1000’s is absurd and completely unrealistic.

This is just my observations so take it with a pinch of salt. Observe yourself and make your own observations. My advice, if you insist on playing on this site, stick to low value. Anything above 50p big blind, go to a more reliable site, or even better a real casino.

Everyday experience of mind blowing beats, but hey that's poker. But tonight has done it for me, BB sitter who has been out for 3 rounds I'm in SB call all in to take his blind, BOOM he magically appears with AK and throws my 2 hours of hard work out the window. Never again with sky poker and I'm changing to another account completely.

bad beat kings pokerstars have took over skybet/poker ect .ENOUGH SAID!

Get it in with the best hand, lose 90% of the time

Don't know how they do it, compare it other sites it stands out a mile how this set up. Something should be done about it. I come off there mesmerised quit stunning and in your face blatant fix. Will never go back. Corals not Brill but it's fair f~6 u~7 sky.

Sky poker is the best poker site I have played on, and I have played on many. Once you have got used to 6 handed games it's almost impossible to go back to 9 or 10 handed. People say the graphics are no good but I disagree. There is no clutter and fancy gadgets it is just basic and easy to use when multi tabling. I sometimes play pokerstars and 888. But get really bored with the huge fields and 9 handed games mean you can't play as many hands. As far as I am concerned, Sky Poker is the best of the lot.

I play on sky but it is rigged to fk 1 hand me trips and 2 full houses me least chips all in Jj kid top chips Jj you no what happened then table disappears and there is never no explanation I no you can have bad beats but if there trying to get numbers down on torneys they give you and hand but if someone calls with more chips your out if someone watched they wouldn’t believe chip leader it’s what ever they need on river

Never seen so many bad beats in my life, I raise pre flop, flop and turn with pocket tens, no 7 2 9 board, 6 turn, I raise, he goes all in on turn, I call, he shows pocket 4s and hits his two outer on the river, absolute shambles
