I was wondering why this site is not doing any freeroll open to all it's members on one of the partner PokerRoom?? It would be very nice to play against other users. Maybe with just like 100$ prize pool or even less and maybe some points?? Who thinks the same??

i do agree with hombart would be nice to get some point tourneys or small freerolls going 2 play against other BRM members points tourneys would be the best
I'm not saying that there is something wrong with that freeroll. But i was wondering why you don't make any freeroll open to all members, not only depositors. I don't wan't to deposit my money into Action Poker... I don't trust this site. Anyway, i'm talking about a freeroll open to all not only for those that have deposited. Even if without cash prizes, just for bankroll mob points. I think that's not a bad idea...

I agree, it would be nice to just have fun little tourneys every once in a while.

I'm quite sure that we would see alot more players and serious pokerplaying (not just sit-out's because people don't want to play anyway) with a $1000-$2000 freeroll that requires a small deposit of $25, rather than a $100-$200 freeroll.

If it was a daily $50 or something that would be fun-- or a weekly $500? It is very rare that there are $1000 freerolls at action. It makes it seem like your trying to take our money and are not prized members by trying to make us deposit.
So make a bankroll points freeroll!!! Just for try and you will see that there will be many people playing. This could get this to be a real comunity not just a sponsorship offer page...

There's no system in place for paying out mob points based on placings in a freeroll and we don't have enough ressources to do it manually at this time. But we would like, at some point, to have tournaments for mob points but that's not our primary focus at this time.
------------ ... we can't just give and give without at least asking people to make a small deposit in order to participate
Come on... There is no system... Many other Poker Comunities do that... Just check, it's so easy to do. But anyway this is a good site but it could go to another level with this... Check out at **removed**, they have 3 freerolls weekly and 3 buy-in tournaments weekly. All of fthem have both, cash prizes as normal prize structure in the Pokeroom and point awards!!!

OF course they want us to deposit. That`s what pays the free bankrolls You are offered here. IF no one makes a deposit, then there is no money for promotions like freerolls and no deposit bonuses.
And it doesn`t matter if the prizes are cash or mob points. Since You can exchange the points for cash, bankrollmob has to earn that money that You want to be offered in the freerolls. And they can only earn it from people making a deposit.
Actually, Bankroll MOB is also rewarded for all the rake hands their users play on the pokerrooms. I think thah there is a lot of people signed that plays a lot. All this pokerroom and all this users... I think they are getting something around of 30% of the income that users are giving to the pokerrooms.

I do not find that would be so easy to make such implementation. to make this is necessary to invest time and money, but without the deposits it will be harder to get done
No deposit is required at other poker comunities to play in their freerolls, your pokerroom account must be only tracked... But i'm not saying that something is wrong here. I'm only saying that it would be very nice and for sure all users would appreciate it very much
------------ Or, i don't know. Why don't you make a monthly freeroll for best affiliates. Like, everyone who brings 10 new users and they are approved for the bonus gain the acces to the monthly i don't know - 100$ freeroll + 3000 MOB points (To split in the same structure as the prize pool)... Nice, no???

The big affiliates will not bother with a 100 bucks freeroll.
And remember, freerolls means giving money away. It is not sure who will win the cash but it is clear who has to pay for it. And no one likes to give money away.
The 100$ was just an example... It can be a 500$ monthly freeroll, just an idea... And i agree with you that it's clear who has to pay but someone who wins it start to generate rake hands and incomes in consequence. But ok, let's close this matter as i see it don't involve many people...

Yes it would be awesome in the near future to have freerolls for bankroll points that will be such awesome and just ban evry sitout from this website that joins them there you have the problem fix for sitout permenant ip ban if you dont have a reason that you sitout
The easiest way to avoit players from outside to play is make the freeroll invitaional only so the pokerroom will sent the tickets to all members that are signed up trough the refferal link of Bankroll MoB. It's really not so hard to do, it only requires i think few ours to organise...
PS. Sorry for my English, i know it's not too good...

i also think that you see alot more serious people at those freerolls that should be taken seriously and not just all in first hand ure dealt
------------ i think that if we deposit money aswell it gives this site the credability and capability with the poker sites(knowing that there will be members depositing on the sites) to give us those no deposit free money and all of the extras they offer
It wil be great for the forum also because we have a little competition
