You will not achieve this challenge overnight, you have to accept that it takes time and a lot of patience. With patience and good playing progress in building a bankroll is not questionable, on the contrary, it is to be expected. To learn how to play poker or improve your game, freeroll tournaments are the most painless way. My advice is to arm yourself with patience, there are no shortcuts to achieving this challenge, both for you and others. After you win a certain amount of money by playing freeroll tournaments, start playing micro buy-in tournaments or cash game as well, whichever you feel suits you better. Good luck.

It depends on what you want to do and where you are in life.
If you can work part time in Europe or North America then you should be able to get $500 in a week or two while learning job skills.
$500 in freerolls and low buyin tourns will take you a lot more time and you could go to a cash table and blow it all after getting frustrated, lol.
So there would be better ways to reach whatever goal you're trying to reach like to become a better player or to get $500 than playing freerolls or low buyin tourns.
Even if you're in a country where the pay rate isn't like in Europe and the U.S etc there are still easier ways to make money and where you would be better off learning life skills than playing poker.

Yes, since almost all poker sites offer freerolls as home games.

It's possible to build a good bankroll from 0 and IMO the best way is to stick to the CC mtts as most of them have 'only' around 200 players in with around 15% ITM, not that tough to cash in a few times/ week if you are a decent player and actually take the tournaments seriously... The other thing I recommend is playing on 888poker as they have lots of freerolls running throughout the day, good loyalty program, decent promotions and also 2 daily spins that can give you good prizes if lucky and/or play them for a long period of time... In rest, you'll just need to have patience, discipline and good bankroll management... GLGL $$$

Hi there,
I am presently doing a Zero Bankroll Builder Challenge for one year. Check out my thread here - Zero Bankroll Builder Challenge
It is possible to build a bankroll from zero, in my opinion, but the question is - Are you willing to put in the time and study that it requires?
Poker is such an interesting game with so many aspects to it. Just have fun and let's cheer for each other. Share your threat to keep us updated and you are welcome to drop in to see mine. I intend to have lots of poker discussions and use this as a learning experience with the hope of taking my game to new heights.

Yes you can. I've banked $226 in the first 6 months of this year playing a small number (69 total / 2.5 per week) of CC Freerolls only. No, I'm not getting rich, but I happy with it considering how little I play in comparison to many others.

I've currently run up bank rolls on several sites. One site I started with a $25 deposit and the others were all freerolled. All I can say is patience, patience and more patience in between the patience.
In my glory days, many many moons ago, I ran up thousands of dollars starting with free rolls and nickel games. Then I progressed up the ladder in SNGs and cash games. Lost several thousand when the US illegalized online gambling more than a decade ago. Not just cash, but tickets I'd won for high stakes online tourneys and almost made it to wsop in online progressive tourneys. All gone overnight. Since online poker opened back up, I've been careful in where I invest my play. But I learned the hard way that nothing is guaranteed.
Now, I've almost built my stakes back up to what they were before, but it's taken longer because I'm not as ambitious as I was back then.
Play tight at the beginning of a game. Try to get a feel for how your opponents behave with each other when they're in hands. odds are that's the way they'll behave with you. Loosen up little by little as the number of players at the table drops. It can be a boring way to play, but fruitful.

It is perfectly possible through the Freerolls, but you have to have patience and persistence because in the freerolls, many play randomly, and as incredible as it seems, sometimes (almost always) it works.
