Posted by paledos: Would a $700 weekly instead be out of the question..
I agree, it would be better with one freroll of 700$ than 7 with 100$.
I always look for freeroll over 500$. Time spent vs. potential reward is too small with a 100$ freeroll. Of course numbers of player come in account, but if I had the choice I would have a monthly freeroll of 3000$ before 30 freerolls at 100$.

Depends how many people in the tournament. Might be cool I don't know. I use to play 2 freerolls on Pokerstars every night when I started playing online.

You guys have to remember that we have way more "low limit" players than those of you making alot of money playing poker So in an effort to "provide the most to most people", we currently thing a daily $100 freeroll is the best way to go. But as with everything else, if it turns out to suck, we will change it. For sure not going to let it be if it doesn't work out or people don't wanna play.
But based on the latest few No deposit offers that originally gave around 10 (USD / EURO), we could have peopled queue up in front of our office to make a request if we wanted to, that many have requested

Sounds superb. everyone is a winner. It would be nice if we could play them for mob points (on bankrollmob itself) then use the points to cash out to one of the sites provided via bankrollmob, or just blow them all on the safe

I think I would play some of them. My guess is that there would be like 100 players, and then it might be more interresting to play the freeroll. You don't have to win to get some money.
Many sites have newcomers freeroll with a pricepool of 100$ and like 2000 players. That I don't find rewarding, you end on 10th place and earn like 1$.

I think this is a good idea..if it can be worked out with the poker rooms... as only BRM members would be able to cash out if thay win....and make it useles for thowes sites that publish priverate passwords and stop priverate freeroll gate crashers. Thay would have to be a legitmt member of BRM to win and not just get the password from anouther website.
I know some forums where this has become such a problem thay have stoped there freerolls and only do bye in now even there priverate team games where geting crashed

There's too much work (if it's even possible AND if the pokersite(s) even wanna do it) to integrate MobPoints into the freerolls, so for now it's going to be regular password protected freerolls, but you have to login to your Mob account prior to freeroll start to get the password.

Yes I thort that would be the case but stoping non members geting hold of the password will still be a problem for $100+ freerolls. As far as the poker rooms are conserned if you have the passward you must be a member and payout witch is not allways the case.
There will allways be a very small amount of forum menbers that will get that the passwards and put them on these scum sites. It is a big problem and is geting worse. Just check with some forums where thay have 4or5 hundread members and thay are geting over 1000 entrys in there freerolls.

the thing is there are so many small freerolls available already. there are loads on full tilt especially now theres these xmas ones every hour. I don't know why I bother playing them because there are so many lucky fish in them but i find now i seem to spend all my poker time playing lousy freerolls and getting worked up over losing less than a dollar.
if we do have lots of freerolls maybe we could have some sort of league. admin wouldn't nessecary have to do anything. we could do it in the forums. someone note down the top ten places in a special forum. give a no of points for each person. someone then after each freeroll could leave a new comment with updated scores and league positions. wouldn't matter who cos we could all easily check the maths. and keep any comments for a different forum so the forum just reads like a series of updated tables
