Freeroll Tournaments - The way to hard cash without having to risk your own money.

Freerolls are a marketing strategy used by poker sites that is intended to attract new players by offering real money prize pots without an entry fee to be paid. This method of enticing new players can only be welcomed and will now be explained how it works.
Using the example of William Hill Poker, they offer Freerolls every Saturday & Sunday with a prize pot of £500 for each tournament. The amount of players is limited to 1,000 -- so be there the very second registration opens for the Freeroll because seats are gone very quickly.

When you make it into the prize rankings, which is usually the last 100 remaining players, your share of the prize pot will then be credited to your poker account once the Freeroll is finished. The amount of money you get naturally depends on your placing. You can then use that money to take it to the cash tables or as a buy in to another tournament and thereby potentially accumulate more winnings. You may, however, even cash out your Freeroll winnings.

At this point we need to point out that it may take a mere 2-3 hours of playing before reaching the prize money ranks. This may seem a long time to some people for a comparatively small reward, however, the amount of practise you get is invalueable since you’ll be playing a lot of hands where you can monitor other player’s game, tactics or mistakes they make and, most importantly, find out about your own poker skills. Even so you may not make it into the prize money every time, you are definitely on your way to become a better poker player and you had pretty good entertainment -- for free.
