One of the most revered poker sites that you can find right now is one owned by the huge Sky Broadcasting, Sky Poker. Thanks to being part of such a successful broadcasting company, Sky Poker has benefited from having their own dedicated advertising across Sky channels. Originally just a web-based service, Sky Poker is now available across PC and can be downloaded as a mobile app.
How to Download and Use the Sky Poker App
iOS and Android
You’ll be glad to hear that currently, Sky Poker offers an app for their customers to download for both iOS and Android users. For ios users, you need to simply head over to the Apple App Store and search for ‘Sky Poker’ and you’ll be greeted with their mobile app. For those of you using Android devices, you can download their available app through the Google Play Store, or by downloading the file via the Sky Poker website. The download should only take a few moments to complete with the app being small in size. If you happen to own a device that can not support the Sky Poker app, then rest assured as you can access all their services via their mobile website.
Whether you are using the app or website, your first port of call should be registering an account with Sky Poker which can be done by selecting the green ‘Register’ tab found at the top of the homepage. After filling out the required details you will have successfully made an account and can now enjoy all their services.
Sky Poker App Features
Whether you are using the web-based version or the mobile app, you’ll find the same deep blue theme across their entire platform. From the top of the homepage, customers can access different parts of the Sky franchise including Skybet, Sky Vegas and Sky Casino. Players can select either the ‘Join’ tab or ‘Login’ button to create or sign in to their account with Sky Poker. Sky Poker’s menu can be found on the left-hand side of the page, where customers can access the following services home, Sky Blackjack, Sky Vegas, promo code, new player offers and Sky Poker Rewards.
Sky Poker features a range of tournaments including cash games and sit and go tables. Customers can find a helpful schedule from the provided toolbar which contains all the information on the current tournaments taking place. If you are new to Sky Poker and poker in general, you can improve your understanding of the game with Sky’s ‘Sky Poker Strategy’ help page.
Sky Poker Promotions and Offers
Sky Poker does not offer a long list of bonuses and offers, but customers can expect to find a couple of promotions that can be claimed an infinite amount of times when they meet certain requirements. Below is their current welcome offer.
New customers can get their hands on £10 in tournament tokens, plus another £40 in tournament tokens. To qualify for this offer, customers are required to first register an account with Sky Poker before making a minimum deposit of £10. Once these requirements have been met, customers will be credited with their bonus within 72 hours.
Sky Poker Payment Methods
Sky Poker does not accept a huge amount of payment methods with only the following accepted when making deposits and withdrawals; credit card, debit card, Neteller and Paypal. Withdrawals typically take around 2-5 days when using credit and debit cards, while e-wallets can be processed within a day.
Sky Poker Restricted Countries
Sky Poker and all their other services are only available to be used when operated in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Sky Poker Customer Service
When in need of support, Sky Poker customers have a couple of methods of support at their disposal. Your first port of call should be with their live chat service which is available 24/7 to those of you who hold accounts with Sky Poker. Other than this, customers can get in touch via their telephone helpline.
Sky Poker App Summary
With a huge bank behind them, a smooth and well-functioning app was expected and we encountered no problems when using it. A range of tournaments can be enjoyed from your mobile device, including sit and go tournaments. One of the few drawbacks to using Sky Poker is that it has very limited payment methods and can only be accessed from within the United Kingdom and Ireland. Overall, we highly recommend giving Sky Poker a try if you are currently in the UK and/or Ireland.
