Hi Guys. I have recently started playing a bit more on highstakes.(although its not my fav site).. they have freeroll every hr. which is not thw greatest interface to play on, but, there are not many who play.. average mtt has around 30 players.. if you wait for the late reg long enough, you can litterally reach the final table in like 5 to 10 hands. and take a little payday. Anyone else played there.. whats's your take on it?

Basically everything is better, Highstakes is an infamous scam site. Good luck getting your already won money if u got some, the chances that they pay are super low and they probably want u to deposit anyway beforehand. And depositing there is the last thing i would recommend to someone.

There is a dedicated thread here:


Others on 2+2 reported the same. They dont or only very rarely pay and try to lurk people with free stuff.

This is interesting.
freerolls are always a good opportunity that is better not to miss :)

30 players in a freeroll is promising. How many prizes and what is the prize pool in general?

Judging from what Sunz says I'll stay far away from 'Highstakes '. I've been around long enough to see many poker sites go under .Stick to the biggest names if you actually hope to get any cash long term .

30 players in a freeroll is a huge red flag IMO.

If there isn't at least 10x as many people in freerolls than comparable micro tourneys that's a sign of rampant house botting. Rooms will deploy bots to prevent overlay but they won't bother with freerolls.

Wow. I thought it would be a good idea to visit this room, but judging by the comments, I'm going to steer clear...
