Hi !
had a few questions regarding freerolls:
1. Which site have you found the best freerolls at; most money ? fewest players ? most frequent ? Restrictions ? Do you have to deposit first or cost points or anything ??
Personally, I've been playing at PKR mainly - the daily freerolls there are pretty good, they run a few $250 and they normally only fill up around the 500 player marker.. Only catch is - you need to have deposited as they cost 500 PKR points to play in, so not entirely free. They also run a few $1,000 freerolls, however - these blow-out to around 2,000 + people and have bigger requirements (1k pkr pts or else a certain member level)
2. What's the most money you've ever won in a freeroll ? and at what site ? I've won $2 on a FTP freeroll - 20th place and I won about $1 on a PKR one
3. How often do you play them ?
4. Has anyone ever signed up to a site with no money (not even a no dep bonus) and built a decent roll from freeroll earning ??
Anyway, apart from these questions. Really would like to know peoples recommended poker rooms for good freeroll action: Personally, I'm looking for australian friendly times (GMT + 10) and decent payouts without 1,000+ players.
yes I am checkdiana85 on pacific poker and cashed out 7 times a total of 5500$ starting with their freerolls never deposit a single dollar took me 3 months before i cashed out 1st time and the next 6 times in next 3 months after those cashouts I was broke and send a mail 2 there support and they say If I made a deposit than I would still receive the !st deposit bonus can you imagine was the site where i won the most

You think 2000+ players for $1000 is bad !? 111!?
Seriously, try partypoker -> 10.000 players for $50. Or Pokerstars -> 15.000 just to qualify for a freeroll
I have no idea which sites provide the best freeroll, but I've you got plenty of spare time you might want to play at 10 sites each and freeroll all day long.
unibet had good freerolls, but they lowered the money so it's not worth it. had some cashes there from around 10$ so not that bad. the worst freerolls are defenitly party poker and pokerstars, low money and very large field.
I think if you really want to start a bankroll out of freerolls, you should go to everest. they have free sng's with real cash prizes to the winner. It will take a while but if play enough it's realistic. I think the best thing to do is to take a no deposit bonus, play some micro limits and build a bankroll with that . good luck.

Oh - Don't get me wrong - I do play/deposit real $$ on PKR - it's not like I'm solely trying to build a roll from scratch. Just curious - And to an above poster - i DO have LOTS of freetime atm - so I don't mind the long games for a couple bucks

I think the best way now is using sites like this, exclusive freerolls, reduces the field and tend to have better prize or as shokaku says small sites.

$5 for the 3rd place out of 1500 on walker poker for almost 3 hours of play freerolls are always filled with a huge amount of players - no matter what client. the only freerolls that are worth to play are the exclusive freerolls as in first depost or deposit, BRM freerolls etc. otherwise...i noticed the time you spend on those freerolls with 10.000 players is the same as when you play a freeroll with only 100 players. lucky ace poker send me every month a ticket (i think max 2000 players) to a $5000 freeroll. the first 10 places are well paid, but i hate this client and never play there.

I got 190 EURO from T9 poker site. They used to have good freerolls but they didnt last long! So I'm still trying to find out good room with good freeroll tournaments! I have plenty of time for doing that.

The best was the noiq poker in the ipoker network. Now the noiq sucks because it is on entraction networks. Nowadays i dont know what is the best site to have freerolls. But for examp+le the freeroll in party poker for bankrollmob players is very good!
I only like the "first deposit" freerolls and the BRM freerolls, all other freerolls are not worth my time. I was very often ITM, today/yesterday I made 25$ with the bet365 first deposit freeroll, but I was very unlucky though. I 've been doing great the first 3hours. At the beginning I was always close to average stake and the last hour I was constantly in top 20, then I lost my half stake against AA with AQ, after that I had Quens and some donk limped in with KK, he just called me all the time, what a "=)$($"=?)$=?" $($?=)$"$`?$.... and the board was J 7 2 6 10. It was a 10k Tournament and Im still fucking dissapointed and sad. The worst thing is, I lost about 120 Dollars after that(ok, thats not soooo much, but 1/3 of my Bankroll), my worst Poker Day/Night so far.... I could do this all night--->

At the moment im 400 € + on poker(2 year period, nice /hour LOL ) ... it all started from freerolls never deposited any of my "own" money (Of course i have made deposits but it started from freerolls) ... Freerolls today arent worth piss compared to freerolls two years ago ...then it was hard to find freerolls under 250 $ . My biggest freeroll winning is 380 $ on betfriends a long time ago, but today they dont even have one single freeroll

Yes exactly
So best freerolls dont search any further, do the BRM ones, they have good value
