This idea would only lower the level of frrerolls even further.

People are better off going for a lottery ticket than trying to play a CC freeroll with re-entry.

Do you like the option to buy chips in freerolls, I kind of hate it, that someone can buy for few cents 5 times higher stack then beginners stack, kind of ruins the freeroll in my opinion.
I think it's fine to keep rebuy option till registration ends, provided registration ends in 30 - 45 mins.

Yes, this is so true. A freeroll should stay a freeroll.

Hi, friend!
We all need to remember that poker is primarily a money making business)
Players who make rebuys or add-ons not only pay for the freeroll itself, but can also increase the number of places played. I think if there were no additional purchases, the organizers would hold fewer free events.
I think the poker-sites make more than enough money out of the players. They should be a lot more generous. But thats how we humans are: greeeeeeedy 🤑🤑🤑🤑

Buying more chips is possible if it's worth it, otherwise the freeroll should be free.

I generally don't like rebuys because it puts you at a big disadvantage. But since these are the rules of the poker sites there is not much you can do about it.

The truth is that I really like freerolls with a rebuy option because the vast majority of those who play freerolls do not have a rebuy option and that gives you a little more option to enter ITM

I don't like it, a freeroll should be a freeroll. So that everyone is on an equal footing

The rebuy option doesn't bother me at all, in a lot of tournaments if it's used at a latter stage you will get a little bit more than 1BB. What I don't like is the add-on option

Then it would only be true madness.
In freerolls with the participation of thousands of people, it is still impossible to play normally against the many 'all-in with every hand' players.
If there was a rebuy, the freeroll would be a real nightmare.
There are smaller $1-$2 tournaments with rebuy/add-on, we should not force this on freerolls.

I don't like it, the free tournament is for those who don't have a bankroll and those who can buy back, have a lot of advantage!
