It;s not just you. apparently they're gone for now. I don't think that they removed those tournaments for good. Maybe it's just part of maintenance or something. I can't believe such a big site can stay without freerolls of some kind - it just generate to much traffic to ignore it. Hopefully we will see them back after a couple of hours

I also wanted to play and I couldn't find the freerolls. I play the most at Full Tilt Poker and this is pretty sad, I hope roeish3 is right, those freerolls we're great for everybody and maybe they'll bring them back in the near future. Cheers!

I can't see freerolls more So now expect more players on our private freeroll , BRM freeroll will now be at least 2k players (1300 registred max till now) , so will be more harder to take some piece of that cake

Probably they followed the trend that goes on for the last couple of years. You start with freerolls all the time and them one day they are gone. They are making cuts from wherever they can to get back their investment

If Thats the reaseon why they cut the tournaments , i can tell u NO WORTH , Because today depositors are looking for a bit more FREEROLLS , because they can build their bankroll faster and without big risk...

It might be a temporary "problem" or they are gone for good, i guess only time will tell.
Guys ITS NOT A TEMPORARY PROBLEM , Only new registred users can join tournaments ,the old players can only play for weekend freeroll.They changed many things i think!

Freerolls are back, only instead of cash they give tickets (TT, RGT), and they're for new players only. I don't think it's a good idea for them. The cost of the freerolls are not that high for them and they're gonna lose a lot of traffic.
I also think that BRM freerolls are gonna be flooded, and maybe they should be rearranged as well.

My first thought was that Full Tilt is going broke!
First the other day there's a thread about Full Tilt misplacing people's deposits,...now I see there's no freerolls...
There's not a whole lot of folks on there,...and I've seen comments about folks not wanting to sign up or return to them. We'll just see if the freerolls return...
Maybe folks should transfer their money over to PokerStars...

Its kinda stupid from FT, only freerolls are bankrolls now and for new players, for rest of players there arent any more. I made account before mostly because there was plenty of freerolls, now I am only playing bankrollmob freeroll, but prob. I will not play anymore when Bankroll period finish. I made plenty of money on freerolls and I am hoping that, this is only temporary
------------ Thank you for getting back to us.
Unfortunately, at this point we can only confirm that the mentioned freeroll tournaments are discontinued indefinitely.
At this point we cannot guarantee if any of the removed tournaments will ever be returned to our game offerings.

this is from fulltilt stuff
Thanks for clearing that up. I don;t know if that means they're having problems, but surely they found out these freerolls aren't doing as well as they hoped, in terms of traffic for the real money games. If this trend continues, I'm afraid Pokerstars will come next - after all it's with the same ownership/

They have the biggest slices of the pie, and you think they are going to give money for nothing all the time? No site is interested having too many freerollers. And if they saw that the return they get from those playing them, wasnt the one expected, they decided to cut them off. Besides they are doing some big freeroll tournaments in Poker Stars.
Poker stars make the most every tournament and cash table they make a profit so they can offer the biggest promotions and there 100K free rolls with 4000 added everyday too the prize pool is a prime example but with rebuys and add ons they still have a hand in your pocket
