I'm in US - are you too or not? Asking because saw a few mentions of US citizens having problems playing/getting real money from online poker rooms.

You asked where you can play for free! I answer that in this network you can play 4 freerolls with a prize pool of 1k for new players (in my opinion, not bad at all) he used to play when he registered! That's all there are no links to me or pitfalls-- just useful information!

I wouldn't say impossible (as there may be a site or two where this doesn't matter), but is clearly the majority of sites.
Read the withdrawal & freeroll rules carefully. Some sites require you to 'rollover' your freeroll winnings to be able to pull them out. Some sites require you to 'rollover' your deposits to be able to withdraw. Know what you're getting into.
(I've had a couple of unfortunate surprises in my time. Luckily, those surprises didn't end up so badly.)

Most new players to online poker would be wise to play a few Freerolls on the sites listed by everyone else on this thread just so that you can get a feel for how the site operates and how each site looks. Hate to have you drop into a new site and something frustrating happens.

I think that if you are looking for there are many free tournaments, even forum pages like these or even in the case of pokerstars are the pokerstars school for those who have just entered the world of online poker, and do not have enough means to deposit money .

Several have already described that you can register for free at almost any poker room, and some even provide start-up capital in the form of cash or free tournament tickets.
However, if you win your money you can’t get it without a deposit. This is my experience.

Pretty straightforward
All the sites that I started on let you register and play for free. As you have been told in some of the other replies if you win, normally, you must make a deposit to make a withdrawal. Good luck!

Sure anyone can sign up and win free cash if he plays freerolls . Back in 2018,someone signed up at 5dimes poker ,played the sunday 500$ freeroll won about 120$ and never deposited neither cashout,build up a bankroll to 800$ just playing cash games .Anyway, a year later,I believe, he hit a bad beat jackpot ,his share was 53.000$. 5dimes refused to pay him claiming he never deposited,but after an uproar by poker players in the forums,5dimes paid him his full amount.

Most sites make you make some kind of deposit. The other thing to look for is do you need to roll that deposit over.
Some don't, for example, I had run up a balance at 5Dimes and could not withdraw my money until I made a deposit. So I made the minimum $25 deposit and then immediately after the deposit cleared I was able to withdraw the full balance in my account. No fees.
I believe I did the same on Betonline but can't be sure.

I see a lot of comments tellin Yeah sure all the sites provide a ton of freerolls and stuff.
Well ...
Actually most poker rooms require a deposit to even play those freerolls, like 888 or partypoker or GG. On Intertops you can play freerolls but you cannot play for what you have won in those freerolls untill you 'Activate' those winnings by depositing.
And also on pokerstars there are very few good freerolls, and even those are soo crowded its unreal.
As far as i can tell the best option here would be ACR. It does not require any deposit and you can do whatever you want with your winnings. And there are plenty of great freerolls.
The second place would probably be RedStar poker. But franckly, i would recommend that you make some minimum deposit and play freerolls on 888 or GG or the best option - stick to ACR.
Gl hf my man.

Hello my friend! Apparently you are new here and also in poker.
Welcome to the biggest and best poker community!
Well nowadays almost all platforms offer free games with real money prizes and you do not need to pay any fee or monthly fee, you just need to register in the room of your preference "or even in all", register fill out the forms with your data , after doing this you are already able to play. To make withdrawals you need to have verified your account before ... they will ask for your documents or some other information at the discretion of the website in question. then ready play completely for free.
Here are some of the rooms: Americas Cardroom; PokerStars; 888Poker; BetOnline; SportsBetting; GGpoker. Have a good time!

I thought on 888 and GG you need deposit to play freerolls. BetOnline and SportsBetting not available in Russia too bad for me 
So the best one is really just ACR.

888 and GGpoker do not require a deposit. And 888 also offers free money when registering, GG poker just check the documentation. But I agree with you that ACR is the best option!

It is a reality that you can live with some comfort by being just a professional poker player. And as a professional, it is necessary to understand: like any profession, dedication and discipline are required. And understand that not every football player will be Messi, just like not every poker player will be a brilliant winner in big tournaments. One of the biggest advantages of living online poker is being your own boss - except, of course, if you join some poker time, with your own rules and rules. An example: you can spend most of your time traveling, as long as you always have a good internet connection at hand. Of course, you will have to make your schedules and be strict with them, without giving up the best tournaments for a dinner or a beer. It's work, after all. Poker has a lot of fluctuations in results and every victory is like the fable between Formiga and Cicada: the more you save now, the safer you won't be in the winter that is sure to come. You will have to learn to raise your head in defeats, which will be, with absolute security. A profitable online poker player has, on average, a ROI (Return on Investment, or return on investment, in Portuguese) of 10 to 20% (in the latter case, it is an excellent index). The investment itself, in courses, apprenticeships and finance, needs to be accounted for. And, of course, the investment in time, like playing for 6 hours straight and falling into a low payout range - or worse, out of it. And there is still a family barrier. Your family members question your new activity, either because of the doubt about the legality of poker in brazil or even because of the large amount of time you will have to dedicate to the profession. Many give up halfway because of this. But, in general, it is possible to live with some comfort just by playing poker online, even with modest profits. It just isn't as simple or glamorous as you think when you tell your friends.

I dont know whats going on here but i could not play on 888 without deposit. As well as PartyPoker and GG. Well on GG i dont even see any freerolls, just ones that require ticket.
Could this be some country-specific business? Like for us Russians deposit is required?
