I'm not sure if I have this in the right topic, but I finally saw where to start a new thread...
Here goes
Has anyone encountered the new game schedule - freerolls in Full Tilt?
It would have been nice to get a bit of warning - even an announcement on their site ..
Like " We are cancelling all the $150 Freeroll games, and we are cancelling all the individual country freerolls.. etc."
Boy have they ever cancelled a lot of freerolls, not to mention changed the prize pool structure on the ones that anyone has won tickets for !
All this without one word of warning... anyone else noticed?
Better yet anyone have any idea of why and what they are planning? I feel I missed something huge here !
I look forward to any answers or opinions for or against their changes.

I am also very suprised Iv had started my bankroll from FTP 150$ Freerolls and Im very sad to see them change it, But I guess it wasnt helping them as they thought it would and they realized they are just wasting money for no return and wanted more people to deposit instead of building bank rolls from freeroll, thats just my opinion , maybe im wrong and their is another reason

That is a bit of a drastic change. Like you say they must see them as just losing them money, which is fair enough. Maybe there are some replacements coming soon ? With everyone trying to build a bankroll from freerolls who the hell is depositing anyway ?

I would advocate freerolls for newbies only..Players have to deposit sometime otherwise the sites would lose to much money.

Full tilt poker freerolls Suspended ,New changes

The full tilt poker freerolls have been suspended right now.
The $150 & individual country freerolls have been cancelled .

And in the Round 1 freerolls , instead of starting with 1500 chips , players start with only 300 chips .

So whoeve playin them , this is some sad news . But they got a reason as these freerolls are not helping them and actually effecting the Players who deposit money . For the site , this is a good move .

But there is a possiblity that new set of freerolls will soon be initiated on the place of the old ones so keep an eye :)

Really sad changes for me. I wasnt playing 150 freerolls. But Freeroll for slovak players was one of the most favorite freerolls for me. And it was great and relatively easy way how to improve my bankroll. I miss it so much. Hopefully they will change their mind in future and bring some more freerollls back.

Buddy there is a little fault in the system therein the site which can be over written easily .
And these freerolls are one of the main causes .
I cant say it here but the fault can induce huge loses to the site .
This has to be stopped .
So with immediate affect , the freerolls have been cancelled .
Possibily they will correct it and bring back your freerolls dont worry :)

I didn't play the $150 freeroll that much as there were too many people, I loved the UK freeroll

I seriously doubt they will be bringing them back :)

What?!?!?!?!

Freerolls help the sites by bringing in new players who might otherwise not play.
Many will enjoy the experience & then make a deposit. Those who win some 'freeroll money' & do not deposit will still be paying rake.

I would think they have cancelled those freerolls because they were giving too much money anyway, which is understandable :)

I liked playing in the canada freeroll, but for the most part, playing huge huge fields in the other freerolls with only top 27/45 payouts...and taking 5-7 hours to get there...was a big waste of time usually.

I like the fact they are making them turbos and super turbos now, not as big of a waste of real time, but they'll turn into that much more of a donk fest.

I'm happy to see the CC freerolls continue, they were always a better go.

PokerStars bought Full Tilt and paid the US government enough money to cover US player balances.

The US government chose not to allow PokerStars to reimburse FTP players directly, so now we are waiting. There is good news, in the poker news forum here you can find a thread about the payment processor starting to accept claims September 16th, but US players are far from paid.

The point, though, is that current FTP owners (PokerStars) did everything they could to pay US players.

This is off the full tilt's page on facebook:


We apologise for any inconvenience caused as we make alterations to our existing tournament schedule. We do not offer Country Specific Freerolls and the $150 Freeroll anymore.

Our new schedule offers Freeroll tournaments four times a day in a variety of game types. Each Freeroll awards $50 in Tournament Tickets or Ring Game Tickets.

Two weekly No Limit Hold’em tournaments take place every Sunday with $250 in tickets to be won in each – satellites run daily.

They are not bringing them back :)

Thank-you everton - I did not see the announcement from FTp on their FB page, I was looking for an announcement on their site - course none there.
I can see I am not the only one who will miss all those freerolls, and I have built a small stack in FT.
So I will now see what they have in micro tourneys , although I think poker stars is the best for those too!!
Must wait a bit and see before transferring my funds to Poker Stars.
I am leary to - because when FT went down - my small stack went with them, but I got it back as soon as I was able to log in ...
Will wait and see what they will come up with.

I also like PS for their micros, I play the 10c bi 360 man. I am hoping to cash in them soon, that is my next challenge :) PS have way better micros than FTP, with them being run together, you would think their games would be similar :)

I still love FTP tho, PS and FTP are by far the best poker sites :)
