Sort of...well not quite, but I know many CardsChat members do this. I live in the USA and ever since Black Friday, how gambling should be legalized or regulated has been fairly controversial and political. As of now, many of the sites available to other players around the globe I still do not have access to. If this situation changes, then I might like to expand to playing freerolls more often across various sites and see how I do 
Right now, I only play the CardsChat freerolls on ACR and play chip games on PokerStars.net (PokerStars.com with real money [including freerolls] are not legal in my state yet. Well at least not in a player pool outside of the state).

I know what you mean. I've been utilizing the most out of my freeroll access on CardsChat too ever since I reached Platinum. I hope to use discipline and bankroll management to slowly build up enough money to "move up" to the micros (live or online, but preferably live) and see how I do. It takes a long time to build up a bankroll in the freerolls though - luckily, I've got the time and patience Plus, I know the skills are mostly transferable (granted different stakes play differently sometimes but poker is poker), so the hope is to get "good" at freerolls and use that experience for real money games in the future.

Nice. We probably won't get super rich off of freerolls, but hey; 100 bucks is 100 bucks

For sure, it isn't a piece of cake and it is time consuming. This is why most players are probably better just "depositing" a poker bankroll to start from than grinding up from nothing. I'm doing it the long way though; worked up from literally nothing and the freerolls have been serving me well so far

But you have the chance to try some styles out. And you did not loss your bankroll. You can test whats your point in game were do you feel comfortable.
