I think from scratch to build a solid bankroll is practically impossible, but in this life everything is possible, good luck!

I started from zero and now I'm playing 3,50 SG without making any deposit. It's not so easy, to be honest, you need to play a lot of freerolls to do it. Tip: Cardschat's freerolls are the best.
My BR is kind of frozen last months because I have no time to play. I just play a little bit for fun right now. But I intend to get back in my regular schedule.

I think it's quite possible if you have experience, enough knowledge and somewhat skill, otherwise I don't think so. Even if you win a first place or whatever it's very possible scenario you will lose your winnings very quick. If you're willing to go through this path a couple times and gain an experience, I think you will make it eventually.

I am also trying to do the same thing. I suggest signing up for the poker school online through PokerStars and doing some reading and studying and passing the quizzes because you get free school pass tournament tickets. Then you could win spinning go tickets and Big Bang tickets Good luck.

It works! I played poker for a long time before giving freerolls a try and once i put all of my poker study together into my game i was able to build a 100$+ bankroll from never depositing

Ever since pokerstars took away the freerolls every 2 hours, it's so much harder to win money from scratch. Only way to try is sign up for pokerschool and try get some "school pass" tickets and play their freerolls. Join the leagues, from high school league you can start winning some money pretty easily.

on PokerStars I can not win much, many ordinary players, but on unibetpoker on freerolls I get to the top places and to 888 too.

It's very hard to build bankroll from just Pokerstars. There are a bunch of good "hidden" freerolls with lots of value on other sites. You just have to look for them ;)

Yes, it is possible but takes time. I started on nothing, won enough to withdraw and deposit, gaining deposit bonuses and depositor only freerolls. I've withdrawn $50 in 4 months, it's a slow start but it shows it's possible, I have not deposited a penny of my own money

I heard Jaime Staple made 3 $100 deposits, so I would consider $100 a starting bankroll. Here is my experience.

I don't play seriously, I play mainly just for fun and I don't care about playing Play Money, or some cash tournaments, or zoom tables here and there.

But one thing I can say, yes it is totally possible. I never ever made a deposit on PS and got from $0 to $100

All from freerolls and also "big" cash on some Freeroll Homegames from Twitch Streamers (I would consider them a "soft field" they call it?) Again I know the basics of Poker and not much the theory, so anyone taking poker more seriously than me, for sure can build up a bankroll.

I have done it, but that was a "different" pokerstars. Why not try this on one of the softer sites- with smaller fields and more promos.

Thanks to this forum its quite easy to get started. Ive won around 60$ from the cardschat freerolls and its enough to get a bankroll rolling if you're a winning player. Which im not (yet), im sitting at 42$. But you can play a lot with 20$ if you keep your stakes low. The 0.10 sngs are a good place to start imo. If you wanna play 2nl you'll need to be better than if you play those really really low stakes.

Also registering to pokerschoolonline and the league is the way to go but before you get any real money from that you need to make at least 1 deposit on pokerstars. (necessary to get to university league).

Good luck!

I started my career as a poker player with a freeroll from the bankrollmob site. But these freerolls do not go all year. That's why I play here. To build a bankroll on freerolls will take a lot of time. It still depends on your ability to play. To build a bankroll on freerolls is really possible, but you need patience and time.

If you have any poker knowledge, it makes no sense playing freerolls and micro stakes, it's just a waste of time. If there is a possibility to make any money you need a lot of time and crazy luck.

building bankroll with freerolls is not going to be very easy but also it would not be impossible at all everything goes from his dedication to play serious and very focused and to study the game very much and good luck ...

But I'm still trying.

I got 10.45$ from #45th/1k+ place (big bang) after #9th/2k+ place (big bang sattelite/school pass tickets). It's very hard. I'm thinking to give it up...

Had $0 this May. No deposit and just under $50 atm at pokerstars. It's doable even in 2017. I think there may be a few others who've done it this year too.

Edit: I used the leagues to build up a BR. But I was able to get to Masters because I have a history of a deposit @ Stars. So it does help even if you've made a min deposit. I play mostly MTTs so I played:


  • The Leagues (registration at poker school required)
  • The $0.01 Jackpot freeroll tourneys
  • Other Misc freerolls like twitch tv freerolls they have once in a while
  • You can also win tickets to freerolls if you play scratch & matches @ poker school
