After loosing my bankroll I decided not to apply for next no deposit offer. I wanted to win some freeroll money instead, but now I think it may not be f&*@# possible. Do you have any advice? R there any other (not restricted) freerolls on fulltilt except BankrollMob freeroll?

I did this on full tilt. A long time ago. Full tilt was my first no deposit bonus from BRM and I lost it all pretty quickly. I then had a few more deposit bonuses, a few of them successful but I returned to full tilt to play freerolls. This was before the BRM freerolls started so I played the UK restricted freeroll and the non restricted freeroll which starts about 8.40 GMT. If you want to register in these though you have to be quick as they fill up within a minute of reg opening. They aren't ideal because the pot is a hundred dollars with thousands of players so your chances of earning a bankroll aren't brilliant but it's certainly possible. I have proved this.
I'm currently trying to get some free money on bwinpoker cos I have awaiting bonuses but only two dollars in my account. Bwin freerolls are a lot better as they have more money than full tilt and you don't have to get first place for it to be worth it.

Take a look on google and you can find some passwords to restricted freerolls. Although you want to make money playing freerolls I think your best option is to study some theory and then request another ND offers. If you want to keep playing at FullTilt you will have to make a deposit. Gl!

Hi.
FTP have lots freerolls and a great number of satellites tournaments to play with a few FTP-points. Its difficult to make a bankroll only with that but if you have good luck its possible.

Don't encourage him to look at sites which share restricted passwords. I think such sites are immoral. If you want to join a site for the benefit of freerolls thats fine but I don't think honest members appreciate jerks stealing from them. It's rubbish when the freeroll you work for gets hijacked and the pot is reduced to pennies each.

if you want to make money from freerolls you need to be signed in a few poker sites in different networks so that you can play at the same time. depending on the frequency of the freerolls and the players you adjusting your way of play.
I think BRM freeroll is the best because there aren't too much people, some players are sit out and it's not so difficult, playing careful and tight, to go ITM. By the way there was, some weeks ago, a poll here talking about the chance to earn funmoney til 500.000 and then to play freerolls dedicated. I never did it but why don't try ??

I hadn't thought in that way. I just wanted to help him, but you are right, it is not the way to do it.
Freerolls only? It's possible, but i think you're wasting your time IMO. You may aswell deposit $50 & grind DoN/Sng until you hit about $150 (forget Nl2 its a waste of time & RB will crush profits), then switch to 10NL & play solid ABC poker till your properly rolled for NL25. NL10 & Nl25 are both soft & beatable for 10bb/100 if your solid.

I wouldnt go for playing freerolls only. The play there is too loose. And if you cash, you still don't get paid enough for all the time you have invested. Better work 8 hours extra at work, deposit that money and all the effort you put in poker isnt a waste of time anymore. I can't play a 5 or 100 dollar freeroll serious, because I'm not going to put hours of effort into gaining a dollar. Rather work 1 or 2 days and play the sunday million

well, freerolls aren't the best way to build a roll IMO. But anyway, for general unstricted freerolls, I'd stick to the smaller sites. There is websites out there that show the schedules/payouts/field-sizes/etc accross all the rooms. So you can suss them out and see where the best value is at.
Also, there was a thread on here recently about playing $40 MTTs on fulltilt where the entrance is playmoney. Not strictly a freeroll. But 500K of play-money is very much achievable within a couple days and as I understand the field size on these tournies gives you a MUCH higher chance of payout than the reg freerolls.
Also, there's a range of sites that have SNG 10c freerolls. BBP,PKR & Everest come to mind. My best experience is with the everest ones, they are 10c limit holdem games, 10 seater with payout 5c,3c,2c. But the reason everest is great is you can multitable as many as you want. I normally open around 8, and normally pickup around 20c from the 8 games just by playing ultra-tight on all tables until around 5 ppl left on each then open my range a little.
After that they offer no limit SNGs from 5c, 10c, 20c, 30c, 50c, etc. O find within about 4hrs I can normally have about $5 on everest starting from the limit SNG freerolls. much better than playing 2000+ ppl on FTP/Stars for 5hours to get 30c or something :/
edit: just thought I'd add a couple pointers: a) if you go 'password hunting' and end up cashing in a league game that you weren't supposed to be in at best you'll probably find your winnings forfeited and at worst your account on the room banned permanetly. b) Don't sign up to a site for the freerolls/10c SNGs without first considering you may be waiving offers such as rakeback and NDB's c)In regards to everest, be ware also that they do not off ultra-micro stakes ring games, the lowest NL ring games are 5c/10c which is NOT ideal for $5 worth of winnings from free and low stake SNG games. So you should be willing/competent to play lots of SNGs/MTTs in order to build your roll to something that allows for ring game play at NL10+ d) Also regarding everest, BRM (I assume still the case, sorry if offer closed, not checking) offers a $50 gift (5k mob points) offer with everest, which I'd imagine you'd forfeit if you sign up under no scheme for the 10c SNGs e) If you do play 10c SNGs on any room, my advice which comes from experience is just play ultratight. Most people playing these donk their chips like no-ones business, don't go allin on anything less than AA/KK pre-flop (AK is a BIG no no) and if you do play AKs/os don't stake to much pre-flop and fold straight away if you don't hit flop. Do NOT start seeing flops on anything under AKs until only half the field remains. i've played plenty of these things and have probably cashed >90% of the time simply by folding my way into the money. You may not always get first like this, but you'll almost always see a payout and even if you findyourself a 10:1 dog when it gets to heads up, you're looking at a couple of double ups and you're dead even. Most likely the big stack has just been playing bingo and caught some luck, just choose your moments, push allin and see what happens, but wait until you are ITM and do NOT cave to the bingo game because your stack is 1000 and everyone elses is 3k+, dont worry about it, you'll catch up no probs witha coupleo of double ups in the late game. You'll normally find yourself in the money on most occasions before the blinds dictate a shove fest. Just either multi-table or browse the net to avoid being bored into the temptation of playing the donks game. Larger freerolls generally don't allow this luxury, you'll find yourself ultra-short stack with another 2hours to go before the money by playing to tight. Luck dictates heavily in large field freerolls and for the most part, I strongly advise sticking to 10c SNGs instead.
