Freeroll poker tournaments are daily competitions that happen on a lot of the greatest net poker sites. Freerolls are greatly enjoyed by the poker gambling community as they provide the poker players the ability to aquire some real cash without losing any. The entry to these freerolls is – as the name suggests – free and prize cash can range from a handful of dollars for finishing near the top to a few hundred dollars for capturing the huge freeroll holdem poker tournaments.
So why do the poker websites have free tournaments? Is it because of their extremely big-hearted character and the fact that they make massive amounts of $$$$$ so they feel a moral requirement to give a bit of it back?
What do you believe!
No certainly it is not, the reason that the big poker rooms offer free tournaments is to draw people to their site.
Here’s the theory in a abridge form – You come across a poker site that has an amazing freeroll, it charges you zip to participate in and you can win $100. You think "Great!" and you head over to the poker room and join as a member so that you can wager on the freeroll. You can compete in and finish early and are ticked off mainly because you feel you should have performed better, or you get close to winning and so you are looking for some additional excitement. What do you do? You wager some $$$$ at the site and compete in another poker game!
Always check the free tournaments for payout stipulations, you’ll nearly always need to compete in a few hands for real $$$$ before they permit you take the money out. Frequently this is on a 1=1 basis, so if you capture twenty dollars at the free poker tournament you will have to have played for 20 dollars in bona fide $$$$ in order for you to be able to draw out the cash.
