Sky Poker Overall

Sky Poker are the latest addition to what has fast become a bustling online market. They do however bring a fresh and innovative look and feel to the online game. Unlike many other sites, there is no download required and you can quite literally be seated and be dealt hands in ultra quick time. The site is owned and operated by BSKYB who also operate Sky Digital, a subscription television service in the United Kingdom and Ireland. More importantly, they are Britains' largest multi channel television provider with over 10 of their own channels. With the backing of an extraordinarily large bank balance, they have built a good quality site with a fast and reliable application and crisp interface.

The site also comes with all of the trimmings we would expect, in addition to a few added extras.

One of the most popular attractions are their televised tournaments which go out pretty much live (minus a very small delay) - and best of all are open to all users for a very modest buy in, which is affordable to all.

Sky Poker Presentation

First impressions are pretty good. The graphics are a nice cool color and not overdone. There is attention to detail throughout the site, with an appealing interface and a well balanced lobby which is easy to navigate through. Of course in using a Java based client, they are never going to be as appealing as some of the top sites out there. That said, for a no-download option, and the opportunity to play live on the box, this is a must visit.

Sky Poker poker Software

Sky Poker offers a unique proposition with a Flash based Java client. What this actually means is that you can be playing in super quick time after creating an account. There is no download so you won't have to install anything on your computer - the sign up process is very easy.

The site has all the trimmings you would expect, like player notes, statistics and find a friend. It also has some unique features, like their Hot-O-Meter. This is great for new players and when turned on, indicates the strength of your hole cards. Not only this, it also tells you whether to check, raise or fold. Of course this is only a guide and great for any beginner player. There are also 3D avatars available for players and the client supports a Casino, and access to SkyBet, SkyVegas and SkyBingo. A pretty impressive set up, all of which requires no download.

One negative we found was that they don't allow rail birds on any tournament games so if you are interested in taking a look - that is the reason that it won't allow you to view any tournament or Sit'N'Go game (unless you are playing).

Exclusive Sign up Bonus

There is one of the biggest sign up bonuses available at £1,000. The bonus amount paid will depend on how many poker points you earn within your 1st 30 days. You will need to earn 75 points for every £5. Earning 15000 points within 30 days will earn you the full bonus of £1,000. In contrast to other sites, points can be amassed pretty quickly.

For a limited time only - we are also offering a FREE £10 ($20) for all new players who register an account with Sky Poker. This is a no strings attached offer, so don't miss out.

Sky Poker Traffic / Popularity

This is one of the fastest growing rooms online. Having only just entered the market a short while ago, they are already seeing over 12,000 players at peak hours and this is set to keep on growing. Considering that they are closed to US players, this is a real achievement, especially in such a short space of time. The innovative technology offers a real treat to players. Players can watch live poker tournaments on Sky Poker from their TV or computer, or even participate in the tournaments, making wagers over the Internet, telephone, mobile or interactive TV.

Sky Poker Fishing / Fish Factor

There are limited games on offer and most traffic is based on Holdem and Omaha tables. For this reason, there are a controlled number of sharks around which makes for easy pickings.
