Freeroll Poker Tournaments

There has been a major poker explosion ever since virtually unknown poker players came out to win the No Limit Texas Hold'em events in major world poker tournaments, Chris Moneymaker being the most popular of them.

But entering major tournaments will cost you a lot of money with buy-ins ranging from $500-$10,000. How come, then, that the number of annual entrants continue to increase dramatically? Thanks to freeroll tournaments, that is.

A freeroll tournament is generally a multitable tournament with more than 10 players. Freeroll means that there are no buy-in or entry fees to play in the tournament. Free rolls do have prizes either in terms of money, player points, or entries to other tournaments like the World Series Of Poker or the World Poker Tour.

Most online poker rooms offer free roll tournaments. But note that for many free rolls you need to be an existing real money player on that particular online card room. Additionally, a poker room might require that you have played a certain number of real-money hands to qualify for the free roll. Make sure to check the requirements for the free roll you are interested in playing.

Today's growing trend in free rolls is you win a seat to a major poker tournament, that's how we can explain the thousands who flock to the WSOP, WPT, and other global tourneys.
