I'm looking for the best site if you only want to play true freerolls- ie. you don't have to accumulate hours at real money tables to collect your prizes. I've been on UltimateBet and Empire/Party. UltimateBet has UltimatePoint and TEC/Aruba Freerolls. Empire has apparently only a $500 Daily Freeroll which is not a true freeroll.
Do any of you guys know where else I can find true No Limit freerolls? I don't mind having to wade through thousands of players to win a prize, cuz MTT is my (only?) strength. |

Prima's network (best sites are gamingclubpoker.com and RoyalVegasPoker.com) offers probably the best freerolls of any site.
if you play 50 raked hands of 25 cents or more (which isn't a lot) within the last 24hrs you can enter in the daily $1000 freerolls. there are 2 every day. there's also a daily $500 with no rake requirements whatsoever...the only downside is it's at 7am ET...so that's pretty fricken early for most people. |

Are you sure the $500 has no rake requirements? Every site I know that has $500 Freerolls need for you to play Real Money to be eligible to claim the prize (you can enter, but need Real Money in account to claim winnings). Does the Prima's Network sites' $500 Freeroll simply get the winnings (say $200) credited to their Real Money account, even if they ONLY have a play chip account?
What I'm looking for are Freeroll tourneys where you can sign up for free, and if you win, simply get $$ credited to your account, no restrictions on entrance, no restrictions on claiming the money (like how some sites make you play a certain number of hands or hours at real money tables). I don't wanna have to open a real money account just to play Freerolls, you know what I mean. |

Yeah he is right!!!!! You get the money straight up with no real money account required. Since you automatically get a free 10 bucks when you sign up at Royal Vegas Poker you sort of auto have one anyway. My friend actually made it in the money on one of them and he had never deposited any money and it went right into his account and he quickly went and lost it at a nickel dime table. You do get in your account though rest assured.
Then only thing you might want to be aware of is that if you want to withdraw that you do have to make a deposit. I got 50 free on a referal thing and got it up to over 400 but they wouldnt let me withdraw it. I just deposited 20 bucks though and then took the money out and it all went fine. |

Well thanks to you I am now a member of RoyalVegasPoker. And I joined the CollegePokerChampionships too for some cash (just for us poor college students). I'll be frequenting the Freerolls often if everything goes smoothly.
BTW is it just me or do they not let you Bet Pot, only increments of the Big Blind? weird |

Bet365 also have daily freerolls (I think they are aligned with the Prima network). They have some that are dependant on raked hands, but also have "true" freerolls. Last Saturday, they also had a $5000 "true" freeroll ($950 to the winner, top 6 or 7 all get over $100 - which I was headed nicely towards before getting teased with a couple of tempting hands which ultimately decimated my stack, but that is a different story.....) Anyway, I understand that this is quite a regular occurence.
They also have some very low limit SnG's and MTT's ($1, $2 and $3 entry). It is fairly simplistic graphics, but the site is very good. I like it, u might like to give it a try. |

they've recently added daily $1500 freerolls no requirements....only problem is there's always over 1500 players....
EDIT: today's $1500 freeroll currently has over 4000 players with 30 minutes left to register....
EDIT 2: total entrants today was 5269 outta the max 6000 |

No RVP let you bet like 10x the BigBlind. Believe me, it's NoLimit. You can go All-in.
For example if it's 10-20 Level, and the pot's like 80chips, they'll let you bet like 60, 120, 180, or something weird like that. |

| I tried playing in that 1500 dollar freeroll----the damn thing timed out on me. I chatted with another guy on a 1/2 game, and his froze up too. I think the whole tournament shut down. Wonder what the excuse is? The ring game I was playing continued to work. |

Knocked out 600 out of 5000 players in the $1500. Not too bad.
I was AMAZED by the amount of loose players in the tourney. About 80% I'd say. |

| Itis like that everywhere. At least 50% of the players are knocked out in the first 30 to 45 minutes.............simply terrible players, or players with the attitude "it's a free tournament".......or the ever so "I want you at my table" "ALL IN BETTY" who wants to be chip leader right off the bat. UB has true freerolls......no real money/rake requirements, and they cap their tourneys at 2500 players. HOWEVER..........If you read my thread (RAGS4U = UB ALLOWED TOURNAMENT CHEATING), you will want to consider it for a long time before you join there. |

platinumpoker has freeroll SNG's. you only win 5 cents but play enough of them and you can get in their 4, 10 and 25 cent SNG's. A nice way to get your feet wet without depositing money. And if you're really a profitable player you'll see your bankroll grow...
Edit: They also have freeroll MTT's |

Well I've been playing UB for a while too (see first post of this thread) and I only play Freerolls so I don't think I'll have to worry about rebuy-cheating.
I've always been wary of giving my money to a website, because for some reason non-face to face business for me simply doesn't seem safe enough. So this cheating glitch I guess just reaffirms my instinct that online companies simply aren't trustworthy.
Oh, and I havn't discounted the possibility that you're an agent for a rival website and is trying to damage their customer base. So while I'm not saying you're definitely a troll, I'll take yours and everyone's (hell everyone should be skeptical, especially online) with a ton of salt.
If what you said is true, then I'm sorry for what happened to you.
I'm currently playing Freerolls on UB/Empire/Party/Royal. I'll be checking out a few others soon.
Edit: No more Empire/Party. They don't have true freerolls. Only RVP/Platinum/UB for now. |

Well Platinum has suspended their freerolls. RVP has less than they used to- only one now and it's at 6AM. UB only has UltimatePoint true freerolls.
My skills are getting rusty because the PlayChip tables have such terrible competition. Does anyone know a site with relatively competitive Playchip or similar non-monetary tables? I just need to keep my skills sharp for the Freerolls that I do get to play. |

I've noticed that they recently raised the 50 hand requirement to 100 hands!  |
