At the beginning, lets define the term of this word. Freeroll - free-of-charge poker tournament, where players, not risking their money, can win prize money. And now about this but at more clear language!

Poker rooms announces, that there will be free-of-charge poker tournament. You come, registered on tournament (freerolls) and when it begins, sit down at the table with few-thousands of other players (players, naturally sitting at different tables, on 9 personas at each one).

Each player receives an equal quantity of virtual money on which he plays. To pay for this money to the player it is not necessary.

On a course of the game, when players leave it, you can automatically replace for other table to equal quantity of players behind tables. The most successful players, for instance, the last 30 persons, receive monetary prizes from poker rooms. These are money per excellence on which you can play behind tables with real money. Though here are some nuances, about shall see them further.

All freerolls can be divided into 2 categories:

1. Freerolls, the prize with which at once is enlisted to you on the real money account. You can cash it or continue to play on this money. We shall name these tournaments - freerolls without requirements.

2. Freerolls, the prize with which still needs to be won back. For example, to win back 1 dollar of a prize, you need to play 10 hands behind a table with real money. Sometimes, after such “wins back“, there is nothing left from the prize.

In some poker rooms is authorized to win back a prize using a prize, in others - the prize is located on the bonus account and is listed you on your current account, after you satisfy all requirements. In the second case you have to make the deposit. It is possible to carry to the same category such freerolls, on which it is possible to get, only if you have already played on tables with a real money (so, have already made the deposit in poker room) and have strummed the certain quantity of hands.

Here concern freerolls, the prize of which does not demand “win back“, but take away your money you can only, if will make the deposit in poker room. We shall call all these tournaments - freerolls with requirements.

Now let’s examine all pros and cons , and is it true, that free-of-charge cheese happens only in a mousetrap.

With the second freeroll category everything is clear. The player has already made or will make the deposit, plays on real money, and such way bring to poker room a profit. Freeroll in this case, is as encouragement for constant players of poker rooms.

And with the first category of freerolls there are some questions. Why poker rooms give the money, to those people, who at all have not made the deposit, and is quite possible, will not make it? Everything is very simple here. Many of those players who play and win on freerolls, soon develop a level of freerolls and start to play on real money. And it without any pressure from the side of poker room – say statistics!

Notice, that on freerolls people, who has been playing poker for a long time wins, so, will quite possibly, soon want to play on money. Besides many of those who never won on freerolls, often make deposits. Thus, even giving the players of thousand dollars every day, poker room receives profit from it all the same. Its all due to marketing. In summary, we wish to note two significant disadvantages of freerolls:

1. A plenty of tournament participants (it is usual more than thousand). That makes a victory over tournament is difficult reached even for decently playing players.

2. In a view of the first lack, there is the second - such tournaments too long last (from an hour till 4-5 o’clock). Not everyone presume to spend to themselves so much time for entertainment.

So sum up everything. On many freerolls it is really possible to win real money, not risking thus the savings. But to consider them as a source of bank roll updating, it is not necessary. But to spend your free time here learning to play (especially to last half an hour tournament) without special nerves – nothing comes amiss to you!
