Sure it is possible :) Many poker players have built a bankroll entirely from scratch; it is also good experience in playing consistently and in following good bankroll management. The biggest drawback to this method is probably the time - it will be very time consuming and if you are already a winning poker player, then you are probably better off depositing (even an amount like $100) and then working off of that.

However, I'm one of those players who has never yet deposited money into a poker bankroll; I've started from scratch and been using that ever since.

Currently still building a bankroll from these freerolls with the option of beginning micro-stakes for money with that (and ideally moving up and up in stakes when I'm ready and bankroll can go well with that).

Certainly, but it takes a lot of time and patience. But it's well worth it when you start to play for real money knowing that you didn't have to make any deposits to do so.

I once had a total bankroll of $1500.00 at several pokerrooms. All freerolls!

Now that time is over. There are way less freerolls available now. I started playing real money, and lost it ALL!

Then several deposits, and also that went wrong. So now back to freerolls. Hopefully I can build another bankroll, but it is gonna be hard. Cardchat for sure will help me to get structured at it.

Good luck all!

Don't worry, everything will work out again! Maybe your play style has changed due to the paid entries?

Building a bankroll by playing freerolls is more than possible. This requires patience and constant work on your game.

yes it is possible plus you will learn and practice strategies on how to play at different stages of the tournament 1 beginner, 2 intermediate, 3 bubble and 4 final table
I think that freerolls are a great way for beginners to accumulate fancrols

Its is possible but very tough. The $50 ones on ACR have huge fields but the CC freerolls are way better. Better players and smaller fields.

I fully agree with you, I have done it on a few different poker sites, more than once. PKR.com offered 10 Cent giveaway Sit and Go's which played every hour, and you could play as many as you wanted until you made £2 Dollars, then you were banned from them and had to use the winnings to buy-in to other games.
I ran my BR up to over $100 Dollars in not time at all, and on other sites I had similar experiences, Betfred, Eurosport and Pokerstars just to name a few, but you have to understand I did not make a decision to make money playing Poker On-line, far from it I just played On-line Poker for fun, and to relax at home, making money came from Live games playing Cash Games mostly and the few events I have taken part in.
I would not even attempted to play in a Casino if it had not been for the experience of playing On-line Poker.
I feel that On-line taught me how to play, playing Live taught me how to win and I still have not made a single deposit, so it is possible, as you said it takes Patience and Constant work on your game.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

Yes it's possible, but as I say slow and steady wins the race.

I started my late registration system at Betonline Poker with freerolls when they had them.

I had .08 left in my bankroll from $40.00 I deposited.

When freerolls went away I played .25, .66 and $1.65 buy ins at the close of late registration, but it has to be to my advantage to register for the tournament.

Imagine coasting along folding most hands as you want to finish in the money and you finish in the money winning 0 hands! That's me!

I have a bankroll now of over $120.00!

you need to achieve platinum,and when you do building a bankroll won't take all that long, CC hands out a ton of freeroll money every year,myself thanks to CC have put a $1000 dollars into about 6 different accounts ,so if I can lots of players can,good luck !

Of course, and many have, the key, according to those in the know, is playing the game. I couldn't tell you how to do it, but it can be done.

I used to think it was impossible to play and build your bankroll on freerolls. But recently I did it! And even though it is small and now there is almost nothing left of it, but I myself am to blame for this, and I like to realize it.

I think the same form.

If you aren’t good to win a freeroll game or a CC game with password exclusive.

Só, it’s better save your own money.

Yes it's very possible to build a bankroll with freerolls.

The site I play at isn't doing the freeroll tournaments like they used to, but 8 days before Halloween 2020 with just .08 left in my bankroll when I figured out my late registration system they had freerolls and I did play in those freerolls using my late registration system and it worked for building my bankroll and when the site decided to stop having those freeroll tournaments I had to play buy ins of .25,.66, $1.65 to build my bankroll which is over $144.00!

Hello. That's exactly what I like to do. As many "oddities" as we experience with online poker software, I am very standoffish to placing my money online. There are many freerolls to play. With a little skill and a lot of determination, you can do that, i.e. build a bank from freerolls.

Soon I’ll be eligible again for platinum freerolls. ACR cardschat freerolls for one hundred dollards often have less than one hundred players, or did when I used to be able to play. If you are good enough to be a successful player you should win more on average than a dollar a freeroll.
