It is possible I have done it many times and still do cause I loose my roll ever so often due to bad stretch of luck. I took back to back first place in CC BetOnline freerolls for $60 each in November ran it up to $350.
Early last year around February I took a 75 cents CC min cash on Stars and ran into $1400 but that was with the old Star Rewards system. Harder to do now on Stars starcoins are hard to come by.

The CC freerolls and special events are alot easier to make some starting bankrolls as there are small feilds and good prizes for top 3.

If you had to do it with those large field freerolls it is very difficult.

CC freerolls are the best BR builders. Depending on the site that you are playing on, there are bonus tournaments pay more than the prized pool based on your finishing. There are also Freeroll leaderboards that will put you in bigger tournaments if you finish in the top ten. Glgl.

I think that you can make your bankroll in poker at free tournaments !!! The problem is that when you make a small bankroll, you go to play for money and it's much harder to play there, and many players lose their bankroll and return to free tournaments !!! if you constantly play a plus, you need very little money to grow to the limit, but if you play not well enough and do not want to learn to play better, then free tournaments are your maximum in poker)))

I agree, the CC freerolls are alot better than what poker sites have to offer on their own. Unfortunately the two I played in (BetOnline, Sportsbetting) were taken away for exclusive to club members only.

If you have the patience then for the year the average player can win on freerolls up to $ 200. This is also a good amount.

There was a great promotion at ACR, where I won 270$ ticket. I hope to get some great value out of that :) Also once I won that 100k privilege freeroll for 190$ at pokerstars!
Be patient!

Freeroll is to make a few cents and then go play in other more profitable modes, such as 45 man sng.

it is really hard on pokerstars, huge amount of players for quite a small prize, but i hear that 888poker is way more generous if you can play on there. goodLuck

I am still trying to build my bankroll from freeroll, it's very challenging, most I've made so far is $7 and I lost it in spin n go's.

I think that's possible, it should be very patient, and if you win a bigger sum of money, you have to hold the bankroll and not risk too much with that money that you won hardly .. I have seen many examples where players win a lot of money and lose it for a short time because they do not hold bankroll management..

Well, this is my latest experience. I went bankrupt a few days ago, with only 2c in my account. Yesterday I joined a 0.02c SnG and came out 5th. That's 1$ and change. I played a spin and go and was lucky enough to strike a 10x (10USD). Then played a few other Spins and a few KOs and got myself to 26USD. :)

I consider that to be a win for anyone, since I basically started with 2 cents.

But that's me and I may have been lucky along the way. Surely you can create a cute BR from freerolls, but, in my experience... there is something weird with that money. They just don't stick. Can't respect my BR if it's 100% based on free money.

But that's me.

You can build a bankroll just from freerolls, but it takes dedication and also knowing what freerolls to play for the better chances.

Actually, there are a lot of opportunities to build your bankroll by freerolls. It can take a lot of time but if you want it you will find a way. I mean not a thousands of dollars, but 50-200$. This ammount is pretty good for a start. For example, on Pokerstars every month are held The Leagues - tournaments for beginners with prize pool of over 15k$. So it is more than possible.

Apart from patience while playing poker, patience is also needed with the bankroll.Choosing the right moment is the best thing to do, to success,I think.

2c won at Jackpot Freerolls, basically had 1. Sorry for the double post, the edit button disappeared.
