Is it possible to start a free bankroll, this is the question I have asked myself, I do not want to put money in until I show that I earn at least 5 dollars, to feel safer, do you understand?, but it is highly recommended to start a free bankroll, currently I do not want to invest real money in poker, or what do you recommend

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT MONEY WHEN YOU START OFF. FOCUS ON IMPROVING YOUR SKILL.

Grab a book and work on the playchip tables and study, study, study. If you're only playing freerolls and don't improve then you are wasting time. Freerolls are only good for building your account up to play the lowest cash levels against the regs and move on.

You don't need to play for money to learn how to read a board at a glance, recognize the nuts or judge somebody's game by how they play. Focus on developing your skills and forget the money!!

It is possible to start out just grinding freerolls but do yourself a favor and just deposit the minimum allowed and attach a poker bonus with it. It can take months on months to build a small bankroll freerolling. Time is so important, if your able to deposit a small amount I would definitely go that route. Good Luck!

All my bankroll i was having is from freerolls games. It's easier that way you improve your game ans your skill without losing any of your money and you get profit after playing i think never play with your own money just play free and enjot the win from nothing then try to play a good tournement from your profit and raise your profet.

Of course, yes, for example in acr the facilities to grow your bank is very likely, I started in acr with nothing and playing free tournaments I got a good bank like $15 in three weeks and after having that amount I started playing tournaments with entry micro and so I was able to get my first withdrawal after a month playing in that room, I played about 3 hours from Monday to Friday, but answering your question if you can build your bank with tournaments only that it takes time, effort and dedication like everything in this life friend.

Well, play all free tournaments and satellite stages too, participate in contests and sweepstakes where tickets are given little chance, but it will also work.
However, you also started too late because there used to be a lot of freerolls on 888 that now there is nothing so to speak.

Yes, of course you can and I would recommend it. But, and there is a big but. There is a universal balance between money and time. Furthermore, it is also important to harvest the emotions and motivations and I will explain.

First of all, if you have the time and patience to play freerolls only and build a bankroll, than why not? The opportunities exist and it's surely doable. I have built several bankrolls on some poker platforms and I'm proud of it. But it takes time and you must have the time.

If you have not a worry in the world and you can survive, then start grinding those freerolls. I personally struggled at times to keep motivated by sitting hours upon hours for a few cents. Now, I'm a bit more selective and motivated to go as deep as I can in the freerolls I play.

On the other hand, if you can deposit something, then I see no reason why you would not profit from all the available bonuses and build the bankroll quicker. However, I did not do it myself and I would not recommend it until you are confident enough that you have the required skill to actually not lose your deposit.

Secondly, regarding the emotions and motivation. Every time I was on a losing streak, I would go back to studying and losing small amounts motivated me to actually go back to study and research. I personally like to learn from doing and I used to doubt and not care about what I had read in some random book. My point is that freerolls did not motivate me to play properly, but losing small amounts of my personal money did by forcing me to doubt myself.

And after all it's pointless to build a bankroll from freerolls if you are going to lose it when you play anything else because you lack the skills that you haven't acquired in the meantime.

Try, test, follow what your brain and heart tells you, but do it properly.

Of course. With proper bankroll management as you win some and dedication to your game, you easily can. There have been some people here who have built threads dedicated to their own journey in this manner.

Hello! :ciao:
So, I've read all the comments, and 100% of the participants recommend freerolls. It's really smart, and Cardschat is a great platform for that. There are really amazing freerolls in which it is not difficult to get prizes. Therefore, be sure to take advantage of this offer.
But I would like to add:
Cardschat is not just about freerolls!

These are constant contests and events!

1. Be sure to check out the VIP Cardschat program. By completing simple tasks, you will be able to get points. You can spend these points to participate in tournaments. This is a great opportunity to top up your bankroll:
https://www.cardschat.com/forum/car...join-cardschat-vip-program-click-here-467969/

2. The League team. This is a great chance to practice and get a monetary reward, in case your team takes prizes.
Please note that to participate in LeagueTeam, you need to have 30 days of activity (write quality comments) and have at least 35 comments.:
https://www.cardschat.com/forum/cardschat-league-43/cardschat-winter-league-2022-sign-up-495755/

3. Individual League. This is a good practice and a way to earn VIP points and souvenirs from Cardschat:
https://www.cardschat.com/forum/car...ndividual-league-2022-season-1-replay-496892/

4. Special events. You can find all the events here:
https://www.cardschat.com/forum/cardschat-special-events-buy-ins-39/

Now, for example, the following events are happening:
CardsChat Decathlon 2022! Games running through February & March!
https://www.cardschat.com/forum/car...-decathlon-2022-games-running-through-498735/

Here you can get a good cash reward as well as VIP points. This event is already coming to an end, so watch out for the next one.

Replay Poker March 2022 Special Events: Hold'em Hoodie Party Part 2

https://www.cardschat.com/forum/car...eplay-poker-march-2022-special-events-500317/

Here you can win souvenirs from Cardschat and VIP points. The event has just begun. Today is the third game. You can register on Replay and try your luck.

CardsChat Leaderboard 2022: $3000+ in Cash & Merchandise!

https://www.cardschat.com/forum/car...rdschat-leaderboard-2022-3000-in-cash-497016/

Be sure to update your profile. Check if you are a member of the table. Prizes are awarded quarterly and annually. This is also a great opportunity to replenish your bankroll.

Each event and how to join is described in detail in the first post. Usually, most of the events take place on the Pokerstars and Replay platforms.

5. SNG.
When you get your first wins, try playing SNG. But don't play for everything: try to play for 0.25 cents or 0.50 cents. Maybe you'll like it. But never play with all your money won.

6. Sit-and-go. Games for $ 1 are not very bad. I usually choose a table with 6 players. This is a table marked "For knocking out". Here you can multiply quite well, because the first 2 get prizes, but also, for knocking out each 0.45 cents. Playing for $1 at a table with 9 participants (without knockout rewards) is more relaxed.

7. Cash game. Sitting down at the table with $1, you can raise your bankroll quite well. Keep in mind that in this game, you are playing for your dollar - you don't see the chips, you see your money. The style of play here is completely different. But Cash games are worth playing and practicing. This is very useful.

That's actually all I can recommend to you at the first stages of your journey.

Here is some additional information:

1. Be sure to join the Cardschat Club. This is essentially a platinum level. This level will allow you to participate in good freerolls and events.
How to do it?
To do this, you must be active for at least 30 days (write comments in the topics of community members and create your own (if desired) and have at least 75 messages at the time of submitting the application. Also follow the rules of the forum (write high-quality messages, messages should correspond to the topic in which you write, treat community members with respect) And fill out the section in your profile where you need to specify your nickname on the poker room platforms.

The application can be submitted in this topic:
https://www.cardschat.com/forum/card...ign-up-452868/
The application is considered for 7-10 days.

2. Regarding options: 5-7. Try playing on game chips to see how the game is going (before playing for money).

3. NEVER PLAY FOR ALL YOUR MONEY.
At least in the early stages. Set the bar. For example, if you won $2, make sure that you are willing to spend only $1 and no more. Your bankroll should never fall below the $1 mark. Even if you win, it is played for a maximum of a dollar. If you lose, then you play freerolls and events until the bankroll again becomes more than $ 1 (if you set the bar, then this dollar is inviolable for you).

4. Take a 30-day course in the community.
This is a very good and useful course:

https://www.cardschat.com/become-a-winning-poker-player/

5. There are good well-known professionals here to whom you can turn for help, for example, in analyzing hands. Cardschat provides this unique opportunity, so be sure to take advantage of it.
Here are links to three of them:

Of course you can, in my case I never deposited money in any room and I could make my bankroll from scratch, there are many freeroll in each room that you register and you can participate without any restrictions, you will learn a lot and with discipline and work you can achieve the goals we set.

ACR has a number of freerolls under the "private" tab that can help you to get started. There are passwords required but if you look around the Internet they can be found pretty easily on the websites and social media of the host.

Good luck!

Starting a bankroll playing only freerolls is one way, but the big problem is that poker rooms will always ask for a first deposit, if you want to play the best freerolls, of course there are freerolls that don't require anything, but against match It can be very difficult to get to the money, as the vast majority of players in this type of tournament are recreational and will play with any two cards, but it doesn't hurt to try. Good luck at the tables everyone.

Sure you can, helps if you have access to a few sites though - and they have micro, micro MTTs 20c and under, so when you do make that first $5 you can start entering. I have access to most and think 888 is probably the easiest. PS with cardchat platinum is pretty good - but MTts start at $1.10

Sure it can be done.
Many have done it but it might take a while at first, especially if you are a new poker player. If not, you can easily earn your first few dollars in your bankroll and mentioning that freerolls have hug fields of players.
Few dollars isn't much (since freerolls doesn't pay much) but on constant basis of saving each small win, you can make few hundreds.
