i've found it frustrating trying to find sites to play freerolls in. i play at america's cardroom, but they only offer $10 freerolls that only pay 10 players off, so IF you can manage to beat 400 or more players, on average, you only get pocket change. all of their larger freerolls require a password. (that's why i joined this forum, so i could FINALLY enter cardschat $100 games) it's easy to get jackpotfreerolls passwords for ACR too (under winning poker network) but those are infrequent and any other passwords seem difficult to impossible to get.

a lot of sites like 888 poker & tiger get suggested here, but they don't do the USA. bovada gets recommended for freerolls and advertises them, but they don't have any, so it's a waste of time creating an account there too.

i started playing at betonline, who actually have a lot of $50-$300 SCHEDULED open games every day, but from what i've read from other members here, good luck ever cashing in on any stacks you build freerolling there, so i quit playing. it's sad because at 6:00 pm my time, i can play 2 x 900 player limited $50 freerolls at the same and 3 x $100 again (usually around 1,000 players) at 8:00pm with 40 spots getting "paid" more than 10th at ACR, but it's pointless if the winnings are still play money.

so, what are the best sites that you can play freerolls at anywhere in the USA that don't steal your winnings? i'm especially interested in sites that have $50+ games, but it'd be nice of you to share ANY legit sites that US players can join so we don't waste our time joining all of the sites besides ACR i've wasted my own time on. any other info you can share like quality of the interface, or how the locals play is appreciated too as some sites attract annoying kamikazes while others have really stiff competition and still others have easy lightweight creampuffs for competition.

I play freerolls on ACR and BetOnline right now, I don't know about sites stealing winnings, as my very small winnings are still there on both sites. I assume you can't really washout till you payed enough rakes on the site yet.

a member here built up a $600 stack from freeroll money at betonline and when he tried to cash out, they refused to give him his winnings because he never deposited money, even saying "you expect something for nothing?" and i've seen other disparaging comments about betonline so i no longer waste my time there as it's pointless if they're not going to pay me

WOW! is this thread dead or what?

Don't forget the leaderboard or the ACR $10 freerolls.

i don't know what the leaderboard is, but i play $10 ACR freerolls and pretty much hate them... hours at a time wasted for 10 chances at pocket change. that's why i'm looking for USA friendly sites with other freerolls in the $50+ range, especially if they pay more than 10 spots.

for the same effort one puts into an ACR $10 freeroll, it's a lot easier to cash in on one of their jackpot freerolls that pay out to 40 spots. 400 people competing for only 10 spots that start out at 55 cents, if memory serves me right, is a really tough gig. a person could make a LOT more money flipping burgers for the time wasted in just ONE game, when the cards finally stop being hostile which adds 20x wasted time for half a buck the rest of the time.

since i placed 3rd about a week ago in an ACR $10, i've been drawing dead in coolerville left and right, like the 2-3 weeks it took to get an actual playable game after my previous win before thatr. it's a LOT of effort for a pittance of payoff.

if i make tomorrow's $100 jackpot freerolls, and i'm still not being dead drawing punished for trying to parlay freeroll winnings on table play, there's a MUCH better chance i'll get a few pennies for my efforts there. i've cashed in BOTH jackpot freerolls i've played.

$10 freerolls just aren't cutting it for me. if they weren't a scam site, i'd put most of my efforts into betonline $50-$300 freerolls where it's about 10 times easier to get paid, except when you do "get paid", you really don't as it's just a bait and switch scam where you've just won play money posing as actual

BOL Best Freerolls

As far as BOL and working up a bank there through the freerolls, I'm certain it's possible. Also to cash out on too. I have a friend there that worked up around $400 bucks with freerolls and micro MTTs and they only required a $50 deposit through Western Union to withdrawl. I mean what's 50 dollars when you can turn around and get it right back from withdrawling? Lol.. Anyways, I believe BOL is your best option, soft games, best Free Rolls, and they DO payout. They've had thier issues in the past as we all know, but since then have been resolved. hands down BOL is your best option. I also play on ACR and it's true, working up a bank through those freerolls is damn near impossible, that is if you don't have LOADS of time for weeks and months on in. You've got Sportbetting Skin for BOL's network too. BCP, ACR, PH, TP all are on the WPN network. I can't think of or haven't found any other networks besides Chico (BOL) and WPN (ACR, BCP) that offer Freeroll play for U.S. Residents (Unless you live in NJ). If you find one, let me know and I'll be playing there as well :cool:

Why don't you play in CC Freerolls?
if you're asking me, that's the very reason i joined cardschat, and i'm still waiting for "full membership". it's been over a week since i applied. that was the main reason i logged on, to see if i could play tonight's CC freerolls. i'm annoyed with ACR because i wanted to play today's jackpot freeroll, but couldn't log on an hour or two ago. i missed the start, but might have been able to get a late entry there.

back to betonline, i just don't trust them. i've seen multiple replies naming them as a scam, and that player who CLAIMED they refused to pay him his winnings made me reconsider playing there. for a time, i only played at ACR when there wasn't a game at BOL, but i'm not going to play at a cheat site that holds my money hostage nor am i going to EVER give ANY site a penny out of my pocket.

otherwise, they're not freerolls, but give us your money sucker-rolls.

ACR & BOL can't be the only two games in town.

Dear Acehigh562 I would be VERY wary of Bet Online. I personally believe it is the worst site I have ever played on. I, as well as others, were constantly being disconnected. I managed to get around $25 through freerolls then started playing cash & ran that up to $600 & they refused to cash me out. Their excuse was since you NEVER deposited how do you expect to cash out. I still remember their line to me, "How do you expect to get something for nothing". I told them that is the very definition of a freeroll being something for nothing. Play at Bet Online at your own risk, although I seriously would advise against it
by expert member CSINSC @ https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poker-rooms-10/best-site-freeroll-274408/index3.html

i've never seen such complaints raised against america's cardrooms, which seems to get near universal praise, often as "the best", but $10 the freerolls are a waste of time for the amount of effort you have to put in for pocket change that might not even be enough to take to a penny table, and you really need enough savings for a FEW reloads at their penny tables as it's very easy to get bullied by $3+ stacks if you only have a dollar and get wiped out quickly getting pot committed to just 3 or 4 hands that flop dead.

if it weren't for that particular review, i WOULD play still at BOL because it's a lot easier to bank there AND the penny table play there is a lot softer, but what good is that if you can't collect your winnings?

Well, I like BOL. I've heard good things lately about them. Their customer service has always been helpful when I've needed rollovers reset or have had any questions to ask them. In addition I do know people who have made profits from BOL's Freeroll MTTs. Need to deposit after a $600 run? NP, min $50 bucks play a couple more games and cash out. still a $600 profit. It's not like they can deduct your winnings from you. You earned them, your time was spent. All sites have their conditions. I'm just viewing your quote of CSINSC's situation logically and that's what I would do. And I'd be happy to have made something from nothing.

I'm a freeroll player too and I love to hunt down good game, thats why I play on BOL mostly. ACR too, I run both at the same time so I can poker fiesta my screen with freerolls trying to last long enough to build up 8-10 tables. Fast lane fun. And a bit on the plus side for ACR, thier Freerolls occur more frequent than BOLs.

If this was addressed to me, I don't know how yet. Works been crazy. Work sleep work sleep. BUT when I get a couple days off I'm going to look into it. I joined here for the forums + info. :deal:

i just don't like the idea of handing money out of my pocket to get money that's already mine. it's like that online spam scam where some saudi prince needs your money so he can unlock his fortunes and make you rich for your help.

yes, ACR does have $10 games 24/7, but late at night, you may need to wait over an hour for a new game to fill up, and even if you get seated instantly, you're going to have to invest 3 hours for no more than $2.50 IF you can even KO up to 600 or more players. that's a lot of time and effort for little chance of a piddly payoff.

to me, if i didn't have issues with BO's shaky rep, and CSINSC isn't the only player saying that here BTW, i think they have MORE freeroll opportunities for primetime play. in my timezone, register for BOTH 900 player limited 6:00pm $50 games, then enter up to 3x$100 games a couple hours later for A LOT of chances at better money with better odds.

me? i don't like playing more than 2 tables at a time. 3 tables moving fast drives me nuts.

i'm annoyed that i missed today's ACR jackpot freeroll. i've gotten paid both times i've played those. they pay out to 130 spots. i'm still waiting on my CC full membership so i can start playing those $100 games.

i hate $10 games though. a lot of work for little chance to get paid pocket change if you do. i like bigger games where you stand a better chance of getting paid and can make a lot more too if you win. that's why i'd like another place or two to play.

i've been waiting 1/2 an hour by now for an ACR game just for the player count to go from 102, if i remember right to 146.
