Sky Poker Online Review - 2024

Because Sky Poker is one of the leading poker rooms in the UK it has become known at an exclusive club my many players who have abandoned more International sites for the local operation. This should not in any way discourage new players, but rather figure into a better opportunity to play and win real money. Sky Poker was designed with the UK player in mind.

Even the home page found at SkyPoker.com is stellar and embraces a very masculine, yet cosmic, science fiction vibe. This immediately equates to high-tech as well as high energy. But along with the great futuristic vibe is awesome Texas Hold’em tournaments and some serious real money winning.

It is so easy to play at Sky Poker. All one needs to do is to open a free account and whilst doing so choose your method of deposit. Sky Poker accepts all the best methods of payment that poker players have come to expect at all the bigger, longer established poker rooms.

The great feature that sets Sky Poker apart from the rest is that they show tournaments live on Sky Channel 846! Special live TV Sky Poker tournaments take part from 9pm and can be watched through sky or online on the Sky Poker website. This is a neat unique feature that is helping to grow their poker site to a real force in the industry.

Software

The Sky Poker website offers a new download version. Alternatively, you can choose to play the no download flash based software direct in your browser, allowing you to start playing as soon as you’ve registered a new account at SkyPoker.com. The Sky Poker software is well designed and has everything you’d expect from an online poker site. The lobby at Sky Poker is easy to use and finding the game you want is fairly simple. However, unlike other sites, while the lobby shows average pot numbers, you won’t be able to see hands per hour. The table design is fairly attractive and your hole cards remain in view until the hand is over, whether you play them or not. There is a also a function at Sky Poker that will tell you how strong your hole cards are, though this is only really any use for new players.

Sky Poker is only available presently for iPhone and iPad users. While this may be a bit disappointing to many Android users, no need to worry too much because there is a flash, or instant version that other smartphone user can automate via their browser. Mobile users can anticipate all the same wonderful cash games, sit n’ go’s and literally be playing against thousands of players while on your mobile device. You can deposit and withdraw real money, go to poker school and have a great time knowing you are playing on with a great UK focused poker site.

Game Selection and Tournaments

The Skypoker.com tournament schedule has several guaranteed tournaments including the £25,000 daily primo event which has a direct buy in of £55 but has satellites for just £1.35. The main game on offer at Sky Poker is Texas Hold’em in No Limit, Limit and Pot Limit are all covered with plenty of buy in levels. Omaha Poker has also been introduced recently to the Sky Poker games offering. There is also a good range of sit n’ go tournaments running at all times.

Our Conclusion

We were impressed with Sky Poker is a nice attractive site with a reasonable level of traffic.
