SKY MOBILE POKER - £10 COMPLETELY FREE
|
SKY POKER INTRODUCTION
DOWNLOAD & WELOME BONUS
If you're new to Sky Poker there's an exclusive “newbies” deal just for you - £10 free and a 200 percent first deposit matched bonus up to a maximum of £500. As always, such deals come complete with conditions. The £10 actually consists of four Sit & Go tournament tickets: 2 x £2.20 tickets and 2 x £3.30 tickets. The tickets can be combined to provide entry to more expensive tournaments if you so wish. Your deposit bonus is released in £10 chunks every time you amass 250 poker points while playing at Sky Poker. You earn six points for every £1 earned playing ring games, and ten points for every £1 you spend in tournament fees – both MTTs and Sit & Gos. You have 30 days from being awarded the bonus to claim as much of it as you can.
INTERFACE & FEATURES
When you've logged into the website, you can pick from three poker variants, namely Hold'em, Omaha (Hi) and Omaha Hi-Lo. Oddly, there are no tables with more than six places available – indeed you can only play 6max or Heads-Up. Players looking for 9max or greater will need to play on the desktop site.
You have two ways of finding a suitable table at which to play. You can find your way into the Sky Poker lobby and browse around the tables that are available. The browser function within the app is actually pretty neat. Alternatively, you can just set up your game type, table type (6max or HU) and stakes (Micro, Low, Medium or High) then press the large pink “Play Now” button. The app will then find a free table for you which matches your chosen criteria, and you can choose to be seated if the table is to your liking.
The app still has some issues – the biggest being that the whole poker experience via mobile is conducted in complete silence. This is a bit of an issue if you want to play poker while doing something else as well, as you need to alerted when it's your turn to act. Additionally, the poker client is not yet optimised for tablets, and players have complained that once you enter a MTT or Sit & Go via the app it can be hard to actually get to and sit down at the table.
Sky say they are working on these issues, but you can't help but feeling they would have been better placed to make a more functional app before releasing it to the poker playing public.
TABLE MODE & COMPETITION
The table display is fine, and the fact there are only 6max and HU tables available means that the table display never becomes cluttered. The cards are easy to see and if you are playing on a smaller mobile screen you can switch to a four-colour deck. The interface is less easy to use on smaller mobiles, particularly if you want to micro-manage your bets down to the exact cent. Players on mobile screens may have to be content with the default options of ½ pot, ¾ pot, pot and all-in as even small fingers have difficulty in using the bet-size slider, which can lead to random bet values being played.
The game play is pretty slick, although there is just a hint that the players are a little slow to react. Some players have complained of more bugs, such as the first round of betting started without the cards being dealt, and the app freezing completely at times. Again, a little more beta-testing might have been a good idea from Sky before the app was released.
One other point – once you're seated at a table you cannot “nip back” into the lobby without quitting the current table you are playing at.
COMPETITION
On the other side of the coin while the Hold'em ring games at Sky have plenty of players, the MTTs, Sit and Gos and Omaha variants do not. If you are looking for anything other than ring games, then you'll probably find Sky Poker a little frustrating.
VERDICT
Whilst Sky Bet isn’t the biggest online bookmaker in the world, they do have the backing of one of the biggest companies in BskyB. The television broadcasting company have managed to add another string to their bow in terms of betting. The latest addition to their site comes in the form of the beautifully designed Sky Betting app.
The betting app allows punters to access a host of betting markets; in fact the app is basically a diluted version of their ever increasing betting site making it an ideal addition to their portfolio. There are few companies that have the readymade marketing options that a company like Sky Bet has, mainly down to the integration of their huge satellite television company.
Free Mobile Bet
New users to the Sky Bet app can take advantage of one of the best free bet incentives in the industry. A £10 free bet is on offer for all users which requires no deposit whatsoever. All you need to do is follow the link below, register a new account and this account will be credited with a £10 free bet to bet on anything you choose. Any winnings from the bet you keep, but you do not get to keep the original stake. For players on a limited bankroll then is a great way to start your Sky Bet experience with no outlay.
On top of this you can earn an additional £5 free bet when you deposit and place a bet of at least £5. If you place a £5 bet every week then Sky Bet will give you the same free bet for the remainder of the English football season. On top of this if you bet £10 a day you will earn loyalty stamps. For every 5 stamps in the calendar moth you will receive a £5 free bet up to a maximum of £20 per month.
Phone and Software Compatibility
Sky Bet Mobile App Free Beta
The betting app is available in some form on pretty much all smartphone and tablet devices. iPhone and iPad users can download the app directly from the Apple storewhilst other users on Android, Blackberry, Nokia and Windows phones can simply go to www.skybet.com and they will automatically be redirected to the Sky Bet betting app.
Interface
For those of you familiar with Sky and in particular Sky Sports, the betting app definitely follows that sort of glossy, 3D effect theme without ever being brash. There’s only a couple of colours –blue and white – throughout pretty much all the app which actually makes it very simple to use.
Simplicity is definitely the key word with the Sky Bet app and it’s this that makes it so easy to use and keeps loading times at a minimum.
Features
One of the best integrations with the Sky Bet app is the inclusion of Racing UK allowing you to stream live horse races through a 3G/4G or Wi-Fi connection. All you need to do to get access to each race is have a minimum bet of £1 for that specific race.
Whilst the betting app is great to use it’s the fact that it links in with so many Sky Sports products that makes it feel a lot more than simply a betting app. You can easily access the likes of Sky Sports News, Football Score Centre, Cricket Score Centre and even Sky Go straight from the betting app.
Verdict
Sky has worked hard on producing a betting app that is going to compete in a competitive market place. They have managed to do this with great success and their betting app is easily one of the best in the market. To be honest, anything less from Sky Bet would have been a disappointment given that they likely have more resources than the majority of big betting sites.

Simplicity has been the key with this app, but it’s taken time to get it right. The colours look superb, usability is up there with the best and, possibly more importantly, market coverage and sports are also excellent.
