Joining bonus

Poker BonusThe welcome bonus provided by Sky Poker is arguably one of the very best available and offers new customers £10 worth of tournament tokens and a 200% first deposit bonus up to a maximum of £500.

The £10 worth of tokens are immediately credited when a customer signs up using the promo code ‘POKER’ and as tournaments are available via the app these can be used by both mobile and desktop customers.

The 200% deposit bonus (£500 max) can only be triggered once the £10 of tokens have been used and is released in £10 increments per 250 ‘Poker Points’ earned by the customer.

Those points are awarded at a rate of six for every £1 rake on cash tables and ten for every £1 spent on tournament fees, and each customer has 30 days to release their full bonus amount. The bonus released can then only be withdrawn once the total bonus amount has been played through at least once.

How to Play

As the current version of the Sky Poker app is available in-browser through your mobile device, there are just a handful of easy steps to take in order to start playing poker on the move:

1. Click or tap here to get an account, £10 in tokens and a 200% deposit bonus!

*The Sky poker website advises that Google Chrome is the best browser to use but that the app will also work through others.

2. Tap the clear and obvious ‘Join Now’ link from the home page and complete the registration process that will then become apparent.

3. Choose from the ‘Cash Games’, ‘Sit & Go’ or ‘Tournament’ lobbies.

4. Join your favoured table or tournament and begin playing poker on your mobile.

How Good is Mobile Poker at Sky Poker?

It is all very well finding out if you can access the Sky Poker app and how to get playing if you do choose to give it a try, but what you will really want to know is just how good the app really is.

The best way to evaluate this is by taking a look at the three key components that are the services compatibility, the app’s software and the other promotions that are available:

Compatibility

CompatibilityAt the present time, the Sky mobile poker app is actually web browser based, meaning that there is download necessary and the app can be accessed simply by visiting skypoker.com on your mobile device.

The web app is compatible with both iOS and Android devices and the company state on their website that they are working on a dedicated poker app ‘with a delivery date in the near future’. They also recommend, for the best possible experience, that users use the Google Chrome browser. The app will work in all browsers though.

Software

SoftwareThe web based nature of the Sky Poker app makes it easily accessible and user-friendly features like the three separate lobbies with tabs at the top of the screen make it really functional and simple to use.

The overall appearance of the app is a little underwhelming however, and the relatively early stage of its development means that some bugs, such as the less responsive nature of multi-tabling, are present.

The signs are positive though at Sky Poker for mobile users and we look forward to the future given they have already created one of the best poker apps we’ve reviewed.

Other promotions

There are a number of ongoing promotions offered by Sky Poker, most of which involve the award of ‘Poker Points’ or tournament tokens.

As the full range of games and tournaments that Sky Poker offer are also available to mobile users currently, this means that these promotions are accessible and redeemable through the app.

For the majority of poker apps this is not the case so serious kudos to Sky for this.

How Does the Sky Poker on Mobile Compare?

In spite of Sky Poker not yet offering a dedicated mobile poker app to download, the mobile poker service which they provide is undoubtedly one of the very best around.

Mobile customers can enjoy a full selection of tables, tournaments and sit & go games, which is not the case with most apps on the market, and can do so using pleasantly user-friendly software. That excellent range of tables and games are also easily navigable thanks to the nicely formatted nature of the app and user-friendly features like the three separate lobbies.

The joining bonus provided by Sky Poker is also amongst the most generous and easy to understand on the market and is currently fully accessible and redeemable by mobile customers through the web based app.

All of those benefits therefore, make it much easier to forgive the handful of issues and bugs that are present within the Sky Poker app, such as the less than ideal responsiveness of multi-tabling and some minor limitations attached to tournament play.
