Most people interested in poker are a little hesitant to make their first deposit on an online poker site. Bwin has the remedy for this in their free Rookie Challenge. It consists of a sit & go ladder and daily freerolls that only new players can take part in. Only allowing new members in this challenge guarantees it is a beginners-only field of players.

New Bwin members will be given 10 tournament tickets to the Rookie Challenge. The Rookie Challenge is a series of five sit & go tournaments. Players that make it to stage 5 and win that heads-up tournament win 3 $1.20 tournament tickets in addition to 3 Rookie Challenge Freeroll tickets. Advancing to the next stage requires players to win or be the runner-up in the previous stage. The five Rookie Challenge stages are outlined in the table below:

Bwin is also introducing Rookie Challenge Freerolls. These freerolls run daily at 19:00 (GMT + 1) with $300 worth of real money tournament tickets. Gaining access to these freerolls is as easy as making a deposit and collecting 1 Poker Point. This can be done by registering for a €2.20+ real money tournament or grinding a few hands at the microstakes tables. Note that all Rookie Challenge tickets, including those to the daily freerolls, expire 30 days after receiving them.
