Most players start playing in freerolls in our early days, the problem of freerolls is that there are many multi-account players that go ALLIN with any hand, they do it because they have many registered players in that tournamentAll the freeroll's problems are mitigated by the fact that freerolls don't cost anything but present an opportunity to build bankroll from the ground up.
Also to succeed in poker you've got to know your opponent and exploit his weaknesses; and bingo players are usually an easy money.
As for loosing to weaker hands - however strong hand you may have preflop it can be beaten by unlucky flop/turn/river. And luck is involved in all kind of poker tournaments (not just freerolls).
Freerolls are a joke for 90% of the people playing because of the small prizepools and $0 initial investment. I don't blame people for playing crazy (especially early in the tournament) because it's better to gamble early instead of wasting hours of your time to lose later on anyway.

When a multi-account player has collected enough chips in a tournament, they start to play decently, they do not play the whole bingo-style tournament, the pokerstars' security process sometimes catches them when they go to withdraw money, but sometimes they devise methods, the system of security of pokerstars has improved a lot in recent months, I froze the account last year only because someone entered pokerstars from my laptop, I sent my documentation and they enabled my account, so now I do not lend my computer to no one, I would not be able to lend my computer againInteresting point but I'm not convinced that this is the case (at least for Poker Stars where i play). I've played freerolls for quite some time, and usually bingo players get eliminated pretty fast; thus multi-accounting as a way to up your chances seems useless.
Also there is a question of security. For example, in PS in order to get your winnings actually transferred to your PS account you've got to provide some details like name, address, phone number. For withdrawal the requirements would be more serious, i guess (as I've never done that yet), and they will surely involve your identity verification. So it seems like a whole lot of troubles for nothing (as freerolls rarely give an opportunity to win more or less serious money).
