Hey guys,
The next Rummy Royal freeroll will be held next Thursday, June 25, 20:00 GMT. The game is Kalooki 51 - BRM's favorite rummy game - and the prize is the classic $100.
BTW - All depositing players can play at the daily $25 Freeroll, so make sure to grab some of that while you're there...

Well I have played and won some but really what is the point when you cannot use your winnigs on anything but Welcome tables ? Because of this policy I wont deposit as it makes me wonder what policies you have on deposits/withdrawls ? I pass.

We used to let non-depositors that took the $5 free and/or won freeroll cash to play everywhere, but they were quickly eaten by the big sharks. We prefer to preserve the levels and let you enjoy your cash for a longer period playing against newbies and beginners.
Players that take the $5 no deposit bonus and/or win freeroll money, can enjoy a more subtle transition before becoming depositing players and play against their own level. Also, after your first deposit, you are eligible to play in 'beginners tables' as well for one month, which are small money tables where sharks are no longer around...

To be honest with you I think that it is my winnigs and I should be able to play them how I like and not have restrictions. Poker sites do it that way and I enjoy playing there and deposit. Telling a player how and when to play = low traffic and an unenjoyable time.

i am in thanks for another freeroll bankrollmob and rummyroyal!
good luck all!
@dlkiv: i think you make a good point there. however i also believe that it is no problem to deposit 10 $ to be able to play all the games. (beside the fact that there are often good promotions if you deposit 10 $)
i see the 5 $ and also the freeroll winnings as tryout thingy. and the welcome tables are good enuff for that.
but yeah: if id be able to try out 4 handed rummy or even multitables i might have more fun and it might be easier to convince me to deposit.
also: i still cant beat the welcome tables. i suck

Posted by nietopereek: that was great and lucky tournay, finally 1st with 30$.
well congrats to you unfortunatly with your winnings you can only play at welcome tables
dlkiv: Our statistics have shown that non-depositors that win free money (freerolls, no deposit bonus etc.) have been consistently losing their money fast and have trouble maintaining their presence to a long enough period that ends with enjoying the game and then depositing to play in higher stakes.
Rummy, unlike poker, is new to most people in its online version. When you sign up to a poker room you pretty much know what's going on and don't need the adaption period. With rummy it's still a little different. That is why we decided to restrict the playground for newbies: let them play with their own "kind", help them last longer and enjoy more and get to know the game, and get them to deposit real money eventually. All these come against let you play wherever you want with free money that we gave away. It's a mutual sacrifice we strongly believe in, and it's your choice to decide what to do with it.
thanks for another
