While waiting for my free offer from PKR to be approved, I logged on and took a look around, and came across some interesting freerolls. Apparently, if your bankroll has fallen below a $1 (or you simply don't have any money loaded into you account), you can play a 10-seat 10 cent freeroll. After beating out the other 9 at the table, my account was credited with 6 cents (I assume the other 4 cents is either given to the 2nd place finisher or split between 2nd and 3rd).
For anyone who wants to build a bankroll out of literally no money, this seems like the easiest path to take.
And the best part was, I found the table I played was pretty soft, so it didn't take very long to earn my money (even if it was a few cents).
Has anyone else tried the 10 cent freerolls on PKR? Does anyone know of any other sites that offer such an easy way to build a bankroll from zero?

Everest Poker also has 10 cent SNG freerolls with 5/3/2 cent payout structure. Bad part is that these are fixed limit,but the good part is (unless they changed it by now) you can play as many tables as you want. So you can also load up 20 of them if you can handle it. Also a good thing is they have 5 cent,10 cent,20 cent etc. buy in SNGs,so you can already do bankrollmanagement after you earned $1 or something.
With the 10c SNGs at PKR, you aren't able to multi-table (which kinda sucks), but if Everest is slow then I guess it doesn't make much difference.
Does it take very long for a table to fill up on Everest?
Being from Canada, SNG seats at some of the EU poker rooms don't seem fill up very quickly when I am playing (if I sit down at 8PM here its already midnight or later and the traffic drops off).
It didn't seem to be as bad at PKR, but I think they also have a good amount of Canadian players.

Everest has most of its players in Europe, so this may a problem. They fill up fast during the day in Europe, but i can't say anything about the traffic at night.

Well, even if you can handle it then Everest's software won't handle it... You can play 4-6 tables there, but I can't iamgine playing more.

Like 2 years ago when I wasnt old enough to play realmoney etc. I played them and got about 12 each time,would have gotten more as well but back then the french players,who made much of everest's traffic,still played so they had a waiting list system. If def. is possible

Yeah I built up a couple small rolls at Everest like that - generally played 6-10 of those free games at a time.. There is no reason to limit yourself to 4-6.
Just play as many tables as you can and just press fold on every table for about the first 30min or so.. Start playing once there is 4-5 players remaining - always worked for me, generally I cashed in around 80% of the games. For me on Everest - if I started playing the free games in the morning with a zero balance - then by night I would have around $10-$20.
You can definitely build a roll quicker on everest than PKR - simply because you can multi-table.. PKR 10c giveaways are extremely soft though, you'll cash top 2 more often than not.

i think the best freerolls are at pokerstars. they have so many freerolls and you can win really good at them. the bad thing is that there is always over 1000 players but it just means that you just have to get extra lucky

best freerolls always are the restricted ones as they have fewer players and decent prizepools. regarding 10 cent sng definitely everest is better - can multitable, no bankroll limit. gl with them and ur ndb

What may be another option for players from Canada is Action Poker. They have a freeroll every hour, even if the number of players is usually quite large.

Victor Chandler Poker have new promotion. First time depositers deposit €10 with code TILT1000 and get entry into First Depositers Freeroll of €10,000. Also you play and earn some points you can earn more money - Look at site for more details
I think that Blue Sq/Green Poker Joker have 3/2/1 SNGs that run 24/7. Can build up a bankroll fairly quickly although you are limited to 25 a day. They have 10c sng which are weak and also have sats from 7c. Have managed to build up a $2000 bankroll through this as they have free tournements throughout the week. ipoker is the way to go as they have many different decent freerolls which run at various sites at various times of the week
