Freerolls - Free Poker Tournaments


Freerolls are tournaments with no entry fee, but although we usually think that freeroll is a free tournament, some freerolls can require players to make payments at some point in order to get a seat in a freeroll tournament.

However, typical freerolls are completely free. Unlike standard poker tournaments, where the prize pool is accumulated from the entry fees, in freerolls the prize pool is provided by the house, or sponsorship fees, or broadcast rights fees, or admission charged to spectators or any other source that wouldn’t require the participants to pay for their seats. Many online poker rooms and land-based casinos offer freerolls as bonus games for loyal members or frequent players. These are usually invitation-only tournaments for the frequenters.

Don’t confuse freerolls with play money tournaments – these two types of tournaments have to differences. First of all typical play money tournaments require a play money buy-in and the winnings are also play money, while in freerolls you shouldn’t pay an entry fee, but compete for real money prizes. Many online poker rooms running point reward systems require a payment of points. Sometimes you can buy a free invitation buy depositing money into your account. Besides of cash prizes, the winnings in freeroll tournaments can be player points, various merchandise, or free entries to standard tournaments.

I have set up a Freeroll Script to show all the latest freerolls, it is updated in real time. I also set it up so when you click a pokerroom, not only do you get to play in freerolls, you also get a free bankroll. Using this listing of freerolls you will never miss free tournaments, where you can win real money, entries to standard tournaments and other cool stuff!
