| I don't want to start a new topic... On Party poker, I should make a deposit first, and only after that play o freeroll.? |

| Yes I think that on Party you have to have a 'real money' account before freerolling. I've had a lot of arguments about this, and this might be another... I think freerolls SHOULD be locked for none depositing players. Firstly it'd cut down on underage players and multi-accounters (card details verify age and confirm personal details). Secondly, as a depositing player, I think that freerolls should be a perk for people willing to support the site in question, not just leech free games. The FT freerolls used to take ages to fill up, now they fill within a minute or two (and at 3x the size they used to be!) and now that the 4 badge system has come into play you can see just how many are none depositing players. Its a bone of contention for many, but its my personal view. I'm all for extra players on a site, but not just to soak up the slim perks and put nothing back. Make a $10 deposit and you can play as much as you like, but until the first deposit, all except play money should be locked. |

The purpose of the freerolls is precisely to attract new players to the poker world and a fair amount of these players will eventually give in and just deposit which is obviously good for the poker economy. It's like advertising. As for rewarding players who support the site by depositing, there are depositing bonuses and freerolls for new depositors (with a much bigger prizepool). Isn't that enough? |

Most sites run a one off 'first depositors freeroll' with a decent prizepool which I completely agree with. I missed my FT one, but won $350 in my Ladbrokes one. The problem is, it ends there. After that one its a free-for-all (excuse the pun!) with depositing and none depositing players all vying for a place. Maybe if the registration was 1 hour, and it only opened to none depositors in the last 10 mins, that would be ok. I enjoy the Omaha freeroll and don't really bother with the rest, but its a prime-time freeroll, which fills quickly with Euro and US players, so unless I'm waiting for reg. to start I miss out. Its frustrating when I have put a couple of grand into FT and someone who's just downloaded the software and never deposited has as much chance to play the freebies. Pokerstars have the right idea - bronze, Silver, Gold etc freerolls depending how many player points you've earned in a month, meaning none depositors don't get a sniff. I'm all for freerolls, I'd just like to see a few more geared towards loyal depositing players with smaller fields. |
