Freerolls are (generally) a waste of time. But i think pokerstars had the most freerolls, i think titan has some good oens but thats just heresay. Id consider depositing a dollar or two into pokerstars and play the 10c with $50 added, its a nice alternative.

I thought it was a minimum of $50 deposit?
I don't have a credit card so I can't deposit anywhere. I have Paypal, but that's it.

Most credit cards are useless anyway. Party has a $25 dollar minimum with neteller. Freerolls are a waste of time, bigtime. They teach bad poker because most people don't care how they bet, they are trying to double or triple up throughout the tourney. They spend 2 or 3 hours minimum to get ITM and make nickels for all there work. If they do win $2 or $3 bucks in 4 hours they have usually learned such bad poker skills that they lose it in 20 min. playing a table, way underrolled.
For example.
You play 1 freeroll on a given site and there is 4000+ players all playing WSOP style poker. Allin with any face, sooted or connectors. You get lucky and finish 19th on your 12th try. "Congratulations on your 12th place finish in our tournement, a cash reward of $0.52 has been added to your real money account. Alright, here ya go. Gonna' make a BR now. Let's see, Can't play a tourney here, need $1.10 minimum. Ok no problem I'll go to the $2NL table. Pay your blind @ UTG+2 and here we go. fold. fold. What? another blind. I'll just call, I got 89sooted, AK4 rainbow, $0.25 to call??? fuck that. Next hand BB down to 48 cents, Check with A4o, flopped an Ace here we go double up time, all in, called, here we go baby!!! WTF AJs gets the pot. FUCK 5 hours of poker and for what? fuckin' site is rigged....... and that's how it always goes. You will hear stories of guys building their roll starting with a freeroll. But seriously, How many? in that one freeroll all of the money is just tips for the guys playing at the tables. freerolls are for people with too much time on there hands and no idea how to use it effectively. How many hours of poker are you playing??? The worst job in the world pays $4.50 an hour. work 30 hours after school or your other job and make $100 bucks. You will respect the money, and the game, a whole lot more.

I recall reading once that there are site in which you can sell about 1M pokerstars play money dollars for about $10 real dollars. It is pretty easy to build a 1M play money roll

You know, it's funny. That never occured to me. I don't understand why someone would try to make money online if you can't withdraw. If you don't have a credit card or a bank account get a god damn job. I'm willing to bet there is maybe, MAYBE, one or two online 14, 15, 16 year olds that can play decent poker. It's way to slow of a game for someone of that age group. Get a life, get a girlfriend, get a drivers licence, and get out of the house. And if your reading this and your not underaged, get a checking account, get a job and get a credit card. You can't live in mom's basement forever, well you can, but then you'll never get a girl, so pick.
p.s. Stop playing freerolls. Anybody with some drive can find money to play online. There are free $50 dollar deposits all over the place. I've even shown that they exist on this site. But if ya have delusions of becoming a WSOP qualifier, good luck. They clear very slow at $25NL and lower you don't clear it at all. This one is done but there is one for titan poker right now. GOOGLE IT, don't ask me.

I'm willing to say theres alot more than one or two good players in that age group.
And the only way they're going to learn it, is to play it.
Why tell them to get out of the house? They're practicing and the more they practice the better they'll be. So when they do get old enough and deposit some money, they'll have a general idea.
Tell them to get a life too. You do the same thing the underaged kids do. How are you going to tell them to get a life? By the time they're your age, or old enough, they'll probably/will be better than you.
This is pretty much like any other sport you want to get into.
If you want to become a professional soccer player, your not going to start when your older and hope to become one.
Same with poker.

I am disagreeing with your assertion that you'll be a better poker player if you pick it up at 15 rather than 30. A 30-year-old will have a much more experienced, responsible, savvy approach to life, and regardless of the innate ability or intelligence of the youngster, the benefits the older person will have will give them a huge advantage in actually making a go of poker as both a hobby and an income.

Ehm, it should be fairly obvious that the younger you start, the better it is. If your innate skill is equal, then the younger one will simply have more experience..

BUT if the rest of your faculties aren't as well developed you could play badly, foolishly, not understand the importance of discipline (15 year olds aren't great at discipline in my experience), develop, addictions, bad habits, go broke/play scared/play recklessly. Don't underestimate the difference a bit of life experience has on your approach to the game.
You're also assuming that any beginner will play poker for the rest of their life. The majority will end up quitting, through choice or obligation, and I'll wager that the majority of those forced to quit will be at the younger, more impetuous end.

Its simple: if you start younger youll play better. Poker really is a simple game. I won't tell my age or anything but it might be higher or lower or somewhere inbetween those ages listed. Im not biasied in any way towards older or younger but the simple fact is that if you pick up the game at say 15 and play 15 years you will be 100 times better than a 25 year old whos been playing 5 years. Pokers not that hard, its a game, and your life experiences wont make a difference in how you play it.

Well, it's trivial, but I mean.. if our 15 y'old poker player reaches 30, he already has the experience and all that. I sure wish I had started earlier.. although it's still fine now I guess. Poker seems to be booming this time around. It's like everyone is picking up poker..

Wait, I'll concede that a 15 year old that has played 15 years will definitely be better at 30 than a 25 year old at 30 most of the time. We are talking right now, 15 with 6 months or 30 with 6 months at the same table. And life experience will make a world of difference in those two players most of the time. There will be exceptions to the rule, life experience teaches you that, but come on, what makes a 15 year old better at poker than a 30 year old if they have the same experience. Hell, based on that argument and others, a 30 year old that played for 15 years will be better thaqn a 15 year old that played for 5. So Jishu I'll give you this, you will play better at 30 if you start younger, but will a 15 year old be better than a 25 year old, or a 40 year old that has the same experience.

i need 15yr olds to help my bankroll 
to the kids(under 18(muxy is no longer a kid)) out there the more you play the better you will get at poker. the more you learn the better you will get at poker. and so on and so forth ----- blah blah blah
the only problem is that it takes real money. dealing with real money takes maturity, so if you have the maturity then i will not try to discourage you from playing poker.
good luck
