Roughly, I think it's a free chance at something.

In that context a freeroll tournament is a free entry into a tournament given to frequent players or a special tournament exclusivly for the regulars.

In the context of a hand, it's having a strong hand with a draw (freeroll) to an even stronger hand. In Omaha HiLo, I think it when you have one nut and a draw to another nut, allowing you to push the betting knowing at worst you'll split the pot.

On hold'em it sometimes comes up. For example:

I have:
Ks Ts

You have:
Ad Kc

Board is:
As Qc Js Td

I have a "freeroll" from the nut straight to the nut flush.
