How to get rich on freerolls

Whad do you mean, it's really to make a much money only on freerolls? How most large winning has you won?

Freerolls does not pay much. It is a good way to practice and play without spending money. But nobody gets rich on it. If you wanna get rich that fast, try lottery.
I finished 2nd of 4330 players on a freeroll. But it was only 100 dollars the total price. I won 13 dollars.
On the Freeroll here of the cardschat I finished 2nd twice. 15 dollars each time.

Get a little of money? Yes it is possible. Subscribe in the school of poker and participate in leagues, tried win tickets. 888 poker have got a lot of freerolls. Stay rich? No way, 1 in 1 million or more...

Get rich from freerolls, no not possible at least not directly.

With freerolls you play the game for free and can win a few bucks ever so often if you are a good player.

Of course if you save your few bucks become good at game and then play real money games maybe you can one day become rich.

As with anything success will take a lot of hardwork, dedication and determination and a little luck. It is very hard to grind your way to the top but not impossible.

It's more than real, but it will take a lot of time, if not all life). If I'm not wrong I got $ 10 in Cardschat PS.

No, playing freerolls only you will not get rich.
But winning at freerolls can be step 1 of many.
My biggest freeroll win 10$.

Pokerstars used to have a Saturday game with daily freeroll qualifying tournaments. You had to place in the top 64 (for some games) in order to play in the saturday tourney (different games each day). These qualifiers had so much participation that the games lasted about 4.5 to 6 hours. I won 3rd. one saturday and the payout was substantial. Was very unhappy when they cancelled these tournaments.

As he said, it is not a get-rich-quick scheme or something like that. You should rely on it for practicing, but do not expect big wins out of it.

Freerolls are great practice and a great way to win a little money. You aren’t going to get rich but you may win a couple buy ins at smaller stakes. The small stakes tournaments can lead to some decent cashes for sure. Many people have run up good bankrolls starting from freerolls.

rich in freerolls you are unlikely to become, but you will not lose money either

You can't expect to make any significant amount of money off of freerolls. Generally speaking, they are only for practice, as they provide somewhat competitive play due to the real money payouts, without the risk of having to pay an entrance fee.

The problem with trying to make money off of freerolls is that their entrance numbers are usually so high, and their payouts are very low. Even if you play extremely well, you still need to get pretty lucky to get paid, so you shouldn't count on them as a way of making money, though if you do play them somewhat regularly you should occasionally be able to hit a payout to help build a starting bankroll.

The League freerolls on Pokerstars are particularly good for this if you play them often enough, as you will accumulate leaderboard points for good placements and can get a pretty substantial payout at the end of the month if you place top 100. And of course, there's also the Cardschat freerolls, which have the luxury of much smaller fields and much higher payouts than usual for club members.

Depends on your definition of rich. If $1.00 is rich for you then yes freerolls can make u rich.

Seriously though, freerolls are good to practice and make a little cash to buy in other tournaments. Then If you win these tournaments and buy into a bigger tournament and win that and buy into a even bigger tournament and then.....ad nauseum.

So in essence, you got rich off the initial freeroll but can’t stay there to get rich.

You can only use freeroll winnings to play larger cash games and tournaments to win any substantial amount..

Freerolls are great practice to play larger cash games and tournaments.

Yeah, like others have said, I just don't think anyone is going to get rich on just freerolls. They are a great way to learn and build a bankroll to work your way into real money games and tournaments for later on though.

There are many poker rooms with good freerolls. I think cardschat freerolls are the best. Yes, you can earn a lot of money on freerolls, you need plenty of patience and time. I won the OTR Thanksgiving Freeroll for $ 28.8 in ACR, the rest of the tournaments have been a bit smaller in recent times.

Its a great thought to get rich by playing freerolls... However, its never that easy to win at the lower levels of skill. luck is a factor that will bring you, to reality...

in a million years .lol maybe .good luck tho .havefunAA

Not even Jessi Pinkman could become rich playing freerolls. Even with the help of Walter White and Gustavo Fring.....

I think that freerolls can give rise to a good career in poker. But these are isolated cases!

You can't get rich but you can build a starting bankroll.

Go for it, you only need to win 400,000 $10 on demand freerolls at ACR to make your first million dollars.

Good luck.

I think that on freerolls can not get rich, but you can create a small bankroll that can later be used in cash games or tournaments. Creating a bankroll from scratch will take a long time.

freerolls are just the beginning of hike for the players.

Simply you can't in the short term. The only thing you can is make a challenge from zero to hero type. After winning your first bucks you should try some real money games!

The real questions are the following:
-will you have the courage and the time to dedicate to that long term task?
-will you keep playing even no result is coming?
-will you be ready to make the transition from freerolls to real money tournaments?

You have to know more than the basics of poker to win even a freeroll.
Open limp or open raise 3x in the middle stages or open shove >30bbs is not a good start.

Since you asked I have raised a $500+ bankroll mostly by playing freerolls till now[CC's included] and also participating in some micro MTTs. But the think is that I play for fun and not because I need the money or something.

If you are seeking for instant fat money by only playing freerolls poker is not your sport , otherwise enjoy the journey!

Best of luck!

Participate in freerolls in leagues from the poker school, by the way, I took 91 place in elementary school this month and got $ 3 and took 41 place with the master and got $ 30.

I think that it is impossible to get rich playing freerolls. It is necessary to win all games in which several thousand players participate. It can't be done by the best professional.

Best win on cardchat two times second place )

To earn a lot of money you can only work! =)
And playing on freerolls you can only win a little if you're lucky ...

just do not remember ... 10 dollars won ..))
get rich will not work ... but you can fill the starting capital ..)

Last Sunday i had a good day at the freerolls i won 6,50 $, it is a long way to the million.

I remember i read about a pokerplayer, starting from zero and starting playing freeroll, at the end of the year he had 25.000,- $ at the bank roll. But it is still a long way to the million.
And he moved up, as the money came in on the account.

I like freerolls. They are good for this point in my poker career. The point is to get better at poker right? I cant stand hypers and most turbos. What is important to me is the structure of the tourney. I like 8- 10min blinds. I dont like rebuys. A lot of freerolls fit my needs. If I get good at poker then I will make money. simple right?

on freerolls do not raise good money. You can get a little, but you need to keep moving on. And there's already as lucky.

I play freerolls purely for the purpose of not investing money. A bit raised and immediately move on, if I do not catch a tilt, then I can take a little and withdraw money. Well, if I'm not lucky, I can start from the very beginning.

so do not consider only one freeroll to get money.

This is purely my opinion.

the PokerStars league was a good option, but it has already changed it and I think it's no good idea anymore

I definitely agree with the overall sentiment in the thread here. You CAN build a bankroll from scratch from freerolls, but it's VERY difficult to build up to a BIG bankroll from scratch.

It's difficult because usually freerolls have large fields and you have to outlast a lot of opponents in a poor structure. The prizes are often also so small even at the top that you need to win several just to have a few buyins for other types of events or cash games.

Most people would be better off depositing like $50-100 and using that as a working bankroll. It's always possible you could run it up, but you may also end up needing to deposit several times. Some of the greats of this poker generation grew up busting small rolls over and over early in their career before they got the hang of things and were able to grow their bankrolls and move up.

Personally I started out with freerolls and micro stakes, and I never would have gotten to where I am (playing mostly 1/2 and 2/5 cash games and $300-2k tournaments) without depositing and playing for real money, and occasionally taking big steps up.

If someone financially can't afford deposit $50 once in a while as a learning tool playing at low stakes, then it's probably better to focus on other parts of life before diving headfirst into poker anyway. It's a frustrating reality but it takes money to win money, and if you're stressed with $50 out of your pocket, then freerolls purely for FUN seems fine to me. But don't plan to get rich off of it.

I agree with that you need to use money to win money.After playing freerolls for a while
I deposited 30 $ on Pokerstars and got a lot of tickets and bonuses.
It is like a jump start, and then you has an opportunity, to play a lot of different games.
It gives you a freedom to play the games you like, and not just the freerolls.

If you find the right freerolls you can get a good bankroll from them.
Ofcourse it's impossible to get rich from freerolls, otherwise the pokersites wouldn't make enough money.

If you play the public freerolls, it will be very hard to get a good bankroll. But if you play more private freerolls like the cardchat freeroll etc, it is possible.

You can earn some bucks but will not get rich.Built your bankroll playing freerolls it's possible.

JessiPinkman, well it depends on that what do you mean with words "get rich" and how many time you have for that. For some of American top manager in big bank "get rich" means having a milliard of dollars on his account and for the Indonesian fisherman already 10K are enough to feel "rich", as they earn something like $25-40 per week at good weeks you know.. No you can't win billions of dollars with playing freerolls, but 10K is possible, if you play long enough over many years or have some real good luck at some of big freerolls.

My personal biggest Freeroll win was around $150 or something, but at last summer i had a deep run at satellites on Party Poker for Live Event Party Millions at Canada/Montreal. I've started to play from 1cent-Satellite and made my way to the final satellite with buy-in $550, where top 5 got $5300 package to that event, where the first place would win $1.500.000! Unfortunately i had unluck with coinflip and bubbled short before and didn't managed it to fly to Canada to play real big game. But as you can see, it's possible to get rich just from 1cent.

My wife already had won a $1 Ticket from a Freebuy on 888 and then 1st place at those Tournament brought her $690.

A friend of mine took 1st place in a Monthly Freeroll on PKR with a Prize Pool $5000 and snapped nice $1500.

Even Cardschat gives some great opportunities to win tickets for the big tournaments your BR can't afford to play. It's really a great opportunity, maybe not to get rich, but increase your BR dramatically.

If you want to build startup capital - playing freerolls is the best way. I've got my own story. Unfortunately I was wrong in choosing the room.
But for me the most valuable is to feel incomparable strong emotions in game process.
And I don't splash emotions on my mouse.

Hope someday I will be rich. lol

You can't get rich off freerolls but you can build up some buy-ins for other tournaments and go from there. I've actually been trying that since April. I took may off and really picked up some money in June but July was horrible to me. It's possible but with a great degree of difficulty. You can get very many bluffs through and people are always willing to try and outdraw you. But if you play right and your cards hold you can get there.

Impossible. Freeroll is just a lever ... from them you can go raising your bankroll and playing other tournaments or cash games that pay better. You can even get money for satellites and catch good tournaments for a much smaller buy in.

By selling video courses on how to get rich on free rolls lol

You can make 50$ a month on average, but that tells me, that I can spend this (free) won money as often as I have to, to raise it up in buy-in games.
Win a 30k package in a freeroll and you are just one step away from the million. So i'd say YES, WE CAN!!!

Freerolls are a great filler for building your bankroll at the beginning level. They offer an opportunity to develop your game with an investment of your time. But you're very unlikely to get rich off them.

Wow that's nice.would love to have a head up with you.

Chris "Jesus" Ferguson did it. In 2006 before Black Friday, he set out to make a bankroll out of nothing. He played 10 hrs a week. It took him nine months to reach $100. In 18 months he had reached $10.000. He only allowed himself to use 5% of his bankroll for cash games or SnG's. He only allowed 2% for MMT's. When his winnings were 10% of his bankroll he would leave the table. Of course this is a man that won the WSOP main event. He wanted to show it could be done.

Freerolls are usually to gain experience in poker, with luck to earn some money.
