I got a $50 free bankroll started from one of the better-known sites.  The funds arrived very quickly (within 24 hours) and I was off to the races.  It's nice being properly rolled for 2nl finally after trying to scrape by off freeroll winnings.

A couple things to note:

1) When getting a "free" bankroll, try to get one at a poker room that does not offer rakeback (such as pokerstars).  Most places will offer you EITHER rakeback OR a starting bankroll...  once you get a nice roll going and you find yourself a consistent winner you will definitely want to be taking advantage of any rakeback promotions you can get so if a site DOES NOT offer rakeback to anyone than it's best to use the insta-bankroll promotion there.

2) The insta-bankroll isn't exactly "free" -- what I mean is that you will need to clear a certain amount of rake to be able to keep the money in your account (assuming you don't lose it all).  As an example, the site I signed up with gave me a $50 starting deposit at Pokerstars and they require I accrue at least 500 FPP within 90 days of receiving the funds.  I have been grinding/multitabling (up to 4 tables) micro cash games with the funds and have nearly doubled it in about 2 weeks time @ about 1-3 hrs per day, and my FPP stand at about 250.  I'd say I will clear the deposit by the end of the year for sure, but it does take a fairly consistent amount of play to do it.
