This week we’re talking about Sky Poker, a standalone poker site with its own software. Sky Poker is part of the BSkyB group so has a very well known and solid foundation. A bonus of this is that the action on the Sky Poker tables is shown by the television arm almost every day. Sky subscribers can even use their remote control to login and play from the comfort of their armchair.
There is nearly always action at mid to low stakes but you may struggle for a game beyond that. Play is in GBP which is strangely comforting for a lot of UK players but also, in conjunction with the TV coverage, seems to make the tables quite loose. Without hordes of rakeback players the experience is more rewarding on Sky and you might argue more fun. With the emphasis firmly on short handed play it certainly seems more profitable.
