Poker freerolls
Poker freerolls are poker tournaments that do not require a money buy-in. Commonly called “freerolls” and “freerollz”, they when invented in the early 1960’s when Las Vegas Casinos used them to reward VIPs by offering them a free poker tournament with real money prizes. Poker freerolls have surged in popularity recently with several online poker rooms regularly offering them to attract new players to the site, or to reward existing players’ loyalty. Some online poker freerolls have a raked hands requirement to enter, meaning they are not entirely free. While most poker freerolls have real money prizes, some freerolls will offer other prizes such as trips, clothing, and gift certificates instead.
As the number of freerolls offered by various online casinos grows, the potential to profit solely by playing freerolls has become a reality. Some websites provide players with freeroll schedules, and some players are turning a significant profit just by hopping from site to site to play freerolls.
