About
Sky Poker is a UK-focused online poker room accessible to players in Great Britain, Ireland, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, and Gibraltar. According to its website, it offers No Limit Hold'em, Pot Limit Omaha, multi-table tournaments, Twister Spins, and Sit and Go formats. The site claims access to the iPoker Network and promotes a VIP programme with up to 40% rakeback, though these are marketing claims from the operator rather than independently verified facts.
The site is operated by Bonne Terre Gaming Limited, a company incorporated on 7 August 2024 and registered at One Chamberlain Square, Birmingham. The operator received its UKGC licence on 18 November 2024, giving it just over a year of licensing history. It holds Remote Bingo and Remote Casino licences. There's no record of regulatory enforcement action against the operator.

What Users Say
Sky Poker holds a Trustpilot score of 1.2 out of 5 from 376 reviews, which is very low. This places the brand among the more poorly-rated gambling sites on the platform. The review volume is substantial enough to be considered meaningful rather than a small sample.
Common Themes
Without detailed topic breakdowns available, the very low average score suggests widespread dissatisfaction. Common themes on similarly-rated poker and casino sites tend to include account restrictions, withdrawal difficulties, and customer service complaints, though specific themes for Sky Poker are not available in the current data.
Regulatory Context
Bonne Terre Gaming Limited has no UKGC enforcement history, so there's no regulatory action to directly cross-reference with user complaints. However, a Trustpilot score of 1.2 from 376 reviews is a meaningful consumer signal that warrants caution, regardless of a clean regulatory record.

UKGC Licence Status
The operator Bonne Terre Gaming Limited holds two active UKGC licences, both granted on 18 November 2024. It holds a Remote Bingo licence, which permits online bingo products, and a Remote Casino licence, which covers online slots, table games, and similar casino products. Notably, the UKGC register does not show a dedicated Remote Poker licence under this operator, though the Sky Poker brand presents itself as a poker-focused site.
Regulatory Actions
Bonne Terre Gaming Limited has no recorded regulatory actions from the UK Gambling Commission. Its enforcement score reflects a clean record since licensing began in November 2024.
Site Assessment
Licensed Operator
Bonne Terre Gaming Limited is the UKGC-licensed entity behind Sky Poker. The company was incorporated on 7 August 2024 under company number 15883599 and is registered in Birmingham. It's an active company under UK jurisdiction, which means consumers have recourse through UK courts and the UKGC complaints process.
The operator is categorised as mixed, covering bingo and casino licences. With just over a year of licensing history, it doesn't have the long regulatory track record that more established operators carry. That said, an operator trust score of 85 (Grade A) reflects a clean record so far, with no enforcement history dragging it down.
