Sky Poker Reviews 382

Get dealt 2 black kings, raise it and one player re-raises. All the chips ens up in the middle and the cards are turned over, he is holding 2 red kings. 4 running diamonds and I lose a massive pot!!!!
This happened live NOT online so bad beats happen, it is a fact of life, if you cannot handle it then stop playing poker.
The notion that Sky Poker is rigged, fixed or corrupt is a joke. No online platform gives you fully the experience of live play, the RNG's do not fully replicate the deck of cards, accept it or log out.
Yes I can lose game after game but I also go on hot winning sessions, its called variance or downswing and happens in live play as well.
As for the bad beats consider this, people play looser online than live because especially at the lower buy-ins if they get knocked out there is another tournament starting immediately, you get knocked out live that is it until the next day or week.

I’m a level headed person but the more I play on this site the more I’m convinced it’s either rigged or something is wrong with the cards. Poker is an odds game, the hands I’ve seen dealt and been beaten by and seen others win/lose by are unreal. Hands that come up are .01% that you see time and time again. Just now, had full house 7’s A’s, go all in against someone who ends up with full house A’s 7’s. It’s like that all the time. If there is a hand that can beat yours, it’s guaranteed someone will have it. It’s like a bingo site. It’s crazy. 0 stars avoid at all costs.

Rigged against you. If you win, their software slaps a "loose" algorithm on you. Ofcourse there are bad runs which are normal, but these pond-life scum employees of sky clean you out to zero without even hiding the fact they obviously see your cards. Completely undermined as a random card generator site and simply a legal scam destroying the game. C**Ts

Joke playing heads up tables on this site. Benc is on all day every day and nothing but cooler hands against him. Dealt pocket kings he’s got pocket aces. Dealt queens he’s kings. Every single time I play him. Obviously just a sky employee.

I would give this 0 stars if I could. I would also warn anyone who has signed up to this game to reconsider and keep your money for something useful. Once you start these #**** will take everything you got. The players in the cash games all work together, same names, day and night. They chip away at you with high raises with no cards, minute you call they go all in. These people are also rewarded with runs, runs that cant possibly be beat no matter what cards you get. I’ve never witnessed poker like it, in the real world these people would get done in. Stay away, there is no customer support, no customer service. They tell you poker is a skilled game. If I could help stop one person playing this game I have done someone a good turn. Please think twice about everything I have said before signing up to this scam. If you got money in your account they won’t stop until it’s gone no matter how big or small. I would love to meet the #### who made this game and are profiting from poor peoples money. God bless you all.

Rigged unless your staff. Been playing on sky for years and it i impossible to get ahead and build a decent roll because the bad beats are ridiculous and demoralising, bad players are rewarded and solid play gets you nowhere on sky poker. I once put it down to bad luck but eventually you realise the game on sky is rigged against you and so it is pointless playing there.

Sky Bet and Sky Poker are both decent sites.

Sky Bet is enjoyable for the Free footy 6, ITV seven, fantasy football, and you can also take on Jeff who is a great ambassador for the brand SKY.

The poker is decent with smaller fields to play, and you have Neil Channing who is a great pro, but also a good guy.

Bigger sites may have better graphics but the fields are so large in the MTTS. Sky have kept the graphics basic, but i feel this is the right approach . Overall 4 stars.

After reading some of the below comments I see I am not alone. I know the game is chance but their is skill involved. Bad beats are part of the game but when the same players hit from between 2 outers to 5 on the river calling any bets and hit every time is a joke yet you could have 13 to 17 outs and miss every time. I did enjoy this site at first but over the last month it has been the same players on any table playing 5 or 6 tables a time regularly winning. I will not be playing this again and would tell everyone to give this site a wide berth. Bingo playing donks any 2 cards all in pre flop with total rubbish will beat you every time money grabbing cheating site.

where to start, raise with jj get 2 calls, flop j 6 4 ,so i pot bet and get called by 1 player turn card k i pot bet got called river 7 went all in got called other player turned over 5 8. absolute joke.
next tourney kk i raise get called by 1 player flp[ k j 6 i went all in in temper got called , other player turned over a q , turn card 4 and you guessed it river a 10. i can recite countless times this has happened and odds on it happening time and again are huge. i play a lot of live poker and yes you get the occasional bad beat but this site is just an absolute joke for the ammount of times it happens. stay clear and look elsewhere to play your poker

I’ve just given up on this site. I cannot believe the algorithm is not rigged to make play. You flop trips, someone else flops a straight. You got pocket pairs - someone else did too - often several people. You been artfully managing the betting? Watch 4 suited cards come up. Get to the river? Just note how almost every time there is a straight, flush and a full house on the cards. It’s like playing poker in a James Bond movie. Thats leaving aside some of the incredible river bad beats you get against folks who just ignore your massive raises even with rags only to romp home with you stack on some crazy unlikely turn of the card. I don’t believe it anymore. I believe the decks are stacked to raise the action.

This site just gets worse and worse for ridiculous bad beats and outcomes that just do not happen in live poker. Case in point, I played 4 tournaments today, low level, and flopped a set 4 times, once per tournament, I go all in and every single time, the river gave someone a bigger set. How can ALL the aces, jacks, 10s etc., be dealt when only 6 people are playing? So many times, all four cards of the same number are dealt. And how many times is the pot chopped as two people have the same hand? Absolute joke of a site and I cannot fathom how anyone wins on it. I notice the list of winners of the recent guaranteed tournaments and several people won more than once, or at least came 2nd, 3rd etc. Awful 'bonuses' as well. A £2.30 tournament token every week or so?? Atrocious. Yes, we all have the option to take our business elsewhere, and I will.

Very bad avoid read the reviews then you can see how the site ripps you off :)

Avoid at all cost may aswell call the site sky poker river , because you get beat time and time again

This site bears no resemblance to ‘real poker odds’ Having played online for nearly 10 years, Sky Poker has now become unplayable. The hands that are thrown up make it impossible to play seriously. Don’t get me wrong, you’ll always get occasional crazy hands dealt, but with the regularity that it happens here is just unreal. Avoid if you’re a after a fair, decent, realistic game of Poker.

Where to start?
I've played an awful lot of Poker over a 20 year period and have never seen such a blatantly rigged RNG in an online platform.
Not just my hands, but others on said tables would get bad beat after bad beat - yes I understand variance, but also fully fully understand poker mathematics and the associated odds.
Case in point today - my final day on this platform - where I've sat here calling the card that would beat me - the RNG searched for it in the pack and finished that game off. Time and time again.
Just unbelievable really.
I know how to play flawless non error poker and this site just will not let you play that way, you can only seriously play after the river - what sort of poker is that????
Any bets made pre-flop, flop or turn are just wasted as you'll get a call and get out-drawn more often than the sun comes up.
Over pairs to the flop get called by trash and see runner runner trips against them.
The number of times I've flopped trips is laughable in itself, but then equally laughable is the runner runner flush cards.
Its rigged the point where you worry about playing premium pocket pairs as you just know you're going to get out-drawn by garbage.
I've seen some astonishingly unbelievable single card bad beats first hand in the last 48 hours - yes they do happen, but not this often and when you can sit there and call a cards coming on both turn and river it's a non starter.
Sat there laughing in the end pondering how to play more perfectly and it wasn't possible.
The site is rigged for action and/or clear numptys who need all the help they can get.
If you know what you're doing most likely you'll launch your laptop at the wall.
If you take your online poker very seriously then please please avoid.
How Sky Poker haven't been investigated I honestly dont know.

very abusive players and customer services do nothing about it! racist remarks reported and yet players still chat and if you complain too ofter they chat ban you so you cant bring it up in the forum. i noticed some players just change names ( same person a diffrent family members payment type) such as ROY695 IS NOW JONJOE1908 LOL chnage the name use the same attitude after a huge ammount of years i have decided to leave not rigged just mad play promoted too many bounty hunter/spin up capped games to change now
happy poker guys

The amount of traffic this poker site gets says it all , stay well away.

very dated software compared to other poker sites, nothing has been updated for many years. Customer services is embarrassing with very little knowledge of the game with standard answers like "clear your cache etc" for every issue going. Commonly known as Skyjoker.com it is teeming with "bingo" types who get rewarded due to their software being programmed with a bias towards new players who benefit from unreal run-outs to hoodwink them into playing more !

I have been playing sky poker now for just over a year, I've most definitely had some good time & some bad. Seems to me as though i can make £200 from £20 then i will have times where i play no different but i lose every single hand and high hands are absolutely worthless 'AA - AK - KK - QQ'. I accpet everyone can make bad decisions & get unlucky alot if you're an active player one a table but... At times i do feel like it is heavily rigged due to the fact i play no different to how i did yesterday but i still lose every single hand. Until another £100 of my money has gone in then it starts to feed me some back... personally, id stay away.
