Since the invention of Capitalism man has favored whatever was free. This also counts in the sphere of poker. In the poker world there is no such thing as a poker site that doesn’t offer gratis things and this count for various kinds like free poker money, big bonuses or free poker tournaments – or most often all three things combined. Free poker money is a quite seldom phenomenon in these times of financial and economic crisis worldwide. Instead Poker rooms offer huge bonuses to their highstakers or to those new players who wants to try the software and test if online poker is their thing then the poker sites offer them free poker tournaments. The free poker tournaments are actually not normally known as that but as Poker freeroll tournaments. When you are looking around for these tournaments they will typically be found under ‘Freerolls’. There is a historical and interesting gambling story behind this term. In the 60′s in the city of Sin new customers who entered a casino where offered a roll with chips for playing on the house. They weren’t worth much but were seen as a kind donation from the casino. This was where the term free rolls origined, and later on these freerolls got integrated in the language of online poker and the just referred to Free Poker Tournaments.
Various kinds of Poker Freerolls
There are several different types of free poker tournaments. There are poker freerolls for highstakers given by the poker rooms to reward their big time players for playing on their site instead of another. Not long ago I entered a SNG freeroll – meaning a freeroll with only 10 players on one table. First price was an EPT main event entrance ticket (second and third gave 2 and 3 k I think) – I busted on the bubble. There are also Poker Freerolls for new players. There are normally only two kinds of these freerolls. The first poker freerolls are for new players who are freeriding and haven’t put any of their hard earned money into play. These are in general quite big when it comes to numbers of entrants and quite small in terms of prizes. The other kind of free poker tournaments are for new depositing players and these are typically smaller in numbers – but not always – what is certain is their prizes are way bigger sometimes up to $ 100.000 in the prize pool. There is a final kind of Poker Freerolls that might have a few players interest and that is the small SNG freerolls with very small prize pools. These are played on a few European sites and these are played 24/7. Our recommendation is to try the different free poker tournaments and check out what you prefer – our experience is that when it comes down to what to play: It is all a matter of psychology!
