Not sure what that means, sorry, I'm not very IT-ish.

If you mean is there a "regular" Download version, yes.

It was introduced about a month ago, & so far, the number of players who have downloaded it is well into 5 figures. It is not exactly 'Stars, and has a lot more development left in it (!), which will feed through during the early part of this year, but I believe it's perfectly fit for purpose, all things considered, & is very smooth compared to the Flash-based version. BOTH versions remain available, & a surprising number of players have expressed a wish to stay on the Flash Client, which is fine, as both will run permanently & in parallel.

Rebuys.

It's all going so ell so far today, thank you, so now I' going to spoil it, but I may as well bite the bullet & get it out of the way.

Rebuys (& Add-ons) on Sky Poker are raked, 10%, exactly the same as Reg Fees. Not to everyone's taste, that, but it won't be changing, so if that does not meet your approval, best to swerve them, as I don't see the Policy ever changing, be it right or wrong.

Only one of the nightly Main Events is a Rebuy - Friday, at 8pm. Only one TOTTY is a Rebuy, (and it is a LIMITED Rebuy) also Friday, this one at 8.30pm. For me, it's "Rebuy Night", & I actually find it good fun, & very profitable. Except for these, all the Tourneys I listed earlier are Freezeouts.

The Sky Poker methodology for Rebuys is.....

A Rebuy can be taken as soon as a single chip has been lost. The Add-on is at the first break, & has 50% "bonus chips", so in, say, a 2,500 chip Friday night TOTTY, the Add-On is 3,750 chips, & in the Friday Night Rebuy Open, which has 2,000 starting chips, the Add-On is 3,000 chips.

What does that mean, please? Other Networks? Hell, no! It's 100% standalone.

I'll discuss liquidity in the various Formats later, but I have to go out shortly, so it'll have to wait for now.

I just opened it up - it's fine for me.

I also get the IT Incident Reports for the whole of SB&G which reports any IT-based issues immediately, & it's greened-out today, the last one I had was 30 minutes ago, so no reported issues.

I'm afraid my IT-skills are only about 95% optimal, so I can't help further, sorry.
