Yes I think you can build a bankroll from 0$ I tried it in the past, I've won 5$ in a freeroll then turned it to 68$ but at that time without a good BR management i've lost it because I sat down at bigger table with just one 1 BI. I've learned a lot. You have to be disciplined and do the hard work, it will take time and don't forget that variance is a part of the game.

the best rooms to build a bankroll are GG poker because there are almost everyday a CC freeroll + you have a free gift of the day witch help you build a rapid but small bankroll, from there go to buy in
the other room is 888 poker, you have so many freerolls
good luck for your quest

I fund my poker with freerolls and gambling websites that offer free bonus spins and free bets. However It’s taken about 4 months to get a useable bankroll at low stake MTTs.

Yes, and not difficult. I started from scratch a couple of months ago. I won some money in freerolls and went to play nl2 cash games. Then, when the bankroll became three figures, I started playing nl5 sometimes. Now I have a bankroll of just under $500.

I wouldn't recommend it, while it's obviously possible from freerolls. It would take way too much time starting from the freerolls though, and it will just fatigue you out before getting any real money. I think the better thing to do is to just invest minimum amount of money, say 10$, and start by micro cash games. Ideally you'd want to learn basic poker strategies & concepts first and then jump-in, but just for the sake of fun & motivation to learn poker when you're not really winning the table, I think you can just try empty-headed first. Ofc, since you are trying to get money by investing no money, I doubt you're the one to just endlessly put the money in when you're losing, just to get your lost money back -the gamblers.

Totally possible. I did it in less than a year. And started from zero, as in zero knowledge and zero money. Zero knowledge as in I knew the basic rules, but was totally up for the challenge to beat everyone else (humans and bots, no judgement or care), eventually. I spent most of this time acquiring information from books, videos, websites, forums (I do not like the plural fora, sounds wrong). Resilience and determination is mandatory.

it can be done, but it's the best to play at a few sites with the most freerolls, the ones that offer CC freerolls so you have a bigger chance of making itm and make a decent amount of money from 0$ and start your journey to grind it up,

think 888 still has the most freerolls, and stars the most cc freerolls, so i would play at those 2 sites if you can

This possibility exists, many players have built their bankroll through freerolls. it depends a lot on the player's objective, surely a great player makes his deposits.

So im setting a challenge for myself to build a bankroll of 500$ with no money, do anyone have any ideas or tips to help me do that. ( ofc the cardschat freeroll is a great way to do it but i find its hard because sometimes there's no poker logic when you play them )
Freerolling, Yep!

It's possible to build a $500 bankroll, but it's a lot of freeroll work, hard work, and no lunch break.

Yes it is possible, it will depend exclusively on you, with a lot of dedication and time to play in the Freerolls.

it is possible to get a freeroll fund but the truth is to dedicate a lot of patience and hard work to avoid losing a lot, because if you don't have to be playing around $500 every year, for this reason it's better to follow some rhythms to improve
In fact it is possible to create a bankroll from scratch, mainly using CC as a path.

And of course, after building, a good management is necessary, this is basic.

Cardchat feeerolls are great 👍 you'll have to play in alot of them as well. This will take alot of time. But here's a couple now I'm not sure where you play but you need to find out how you get bonus tickets and promotions. You may have to sports bet or play certain tournaments cash games. Make sure your doing these especially once you've gotten $100 take advantage of everything they can give you

It sounds very pretty at the beginning to think that you could do that and quite tempting to try and of course I kept trying so far but not with that cash success I initially hoped for unfortunately. :rolleyes:

Just as you need patience during the games, so you need to be patient with your bankroll, to accumulate enough cash (especially cents over cents) to allow you to play decent tournaments with micro buy-in's. But the ugly part of that pretty thought of us can be evaporated much faster than the process of accumulating money during freerolls. This can be quite frustrating, don't you think? :unsure:

I don't know, maybe it will be easier if I have access to the platinum level, more tournaments, more chances for progress and success eventually. :D

Wish y'all a good day!

Yes it is definitely possible! I did it already, you have to have a very strict bankroll management after you won some money. I did it with play cash game mostly Zoom and of course freerolls and take part in promotions of the pokerrooms.

Yes, freerolls give such an opportunity, but it all depends on you.

I think there is no better way to build a bankroll from scratch, than CC freerolls.
