I am an example of a player that does not deposit funds online. So for me, freerolls mean EVERYTHING. Freerolls are the only way I can build a bankroll on a poker site these days.
First of all, as an American, I went thru the very negative experience of Black Friday way back on April 15, 2011. I had just quit my "real job" to go for it and play online poker full time. My government changed those plans, and a full decade later we're still waiting for those idiots to remedy the situation. Nope, never gonna happen.
Second, I don't do bitcoin, and thus, we Americans really have no way to deposit funds onto poker sites if we don't do bitcoin.
Since I love poker (I don't play for the money, I play for the competition and the love of the game), I had to find a way to develop bankrolls on all the remaining sites we Americans are allowed to play on... ACR obviously runs their own freerolls, because they get it - they understand there's a need and a market for freerolls which can turn players like me into little rake-making machines for the site... but all the other sites don't get it. None of them run freerolls, I was able to scrape 2 dollars off BetOnline freerolls back when they actually ran them (the prize was a single dollar and the cheapest tournament cost 1.10 so you had to win two freerolls to play!) and I've run that up to 10 bucks, but its such a slow process I decided to join CardsChat to try and accelerate my Zero-To-Hero challenge a bit.

Of course they are worth playing.
We feel good, we are among sane people and most of the time in front of better players than in the freerolls open to all and that allows us to considerably improve our style of play.
Anyway for me it has been very beneficial so far and I thanks CardsChat for that.

Cardschat freerolls are absolutely worth playing!!
The quality of the players, here, is quite good, and there is a lot of learning that can be gained by playing against them.
Also, it's a chance to have some good chat with people that you see leaving messages in the forums.
I for one, really look forward to the Cardschat toruneys.

It all depends on what you want from poker, Free-rolls are a great opportunity to increase your bankroll for no investment.
More importantly they also give you the practice everyone needs to improve your playing skills.
But if you want to make a living from them, then forget it, free-rolls attract a lot of players who play just for fun and they are usually pretty good already, but any practice is better than non at all.

I think they are definitely worth playing if you dont expect to make huge wins in a certain time!
Always keep in mind that you are not the only one who wants to win a freeroll, but I think if you stay motivated you will see good results 😉😛

Any freeroll is worth playing. No buy in to win a small amount of real money.
That is value (Worth).
You need to consider why you are playing, for fun or to make money. Anyone playing freerolls are people that are playing for fun and don't take it seriously.
Or it is people just starting out and learning the game.
If you are good enough to win a big money tournament, you are wasting your time with freerolls.

Very good post. And very true. I think what Cardschat freerolls do is that you learn to improve your game. I have learned different aspects of the game from other better rated players and that is allowing me to advance a little further at the tables. I keep making naive mistakes, but little by little, and with the blows I learn ...😎😎zinzir said:
Cards chat freerolls
I think the freerolls are definitely worth playing because you have a chance to play against a variety of players. No experience players as well as experienced ones. I myself at a certain point in tourneys begin to see the difference in players from the way they are betting and folding. The bluffing shows early in low pots and I don't see it as much later in tourneys in bigger pots with experienced players. Although sometimes I find myself wrong about players. Which turns into yet another learning experience.

I guess the person who started this thread was asking a rhetorical question, he ended up answering yes. Worthwhile - this means different things for different people if you are a poker pro who has a winrate of 10BB/hr, playing 10/20 cash games, you might say no, the freerolls are not worthwhile.
I always use myself as an example, when I joined CardsChat 4 years ago, I suffered a severe injury at work, I suddenly had time on my hands. I have always played poker but never really worked to get better, I started to play most of the freerolls and slowly began improving. Now I play the freerolls again after taking off for a few months, I have bankrolls on ACR, Bet-on-line, Intertops, it all came from freerolls, not deposits. SO- all my rambling is to say that if you enjoy poker, don't have a bunch of disposable income, then CC freerolls is worth the investment of getting active on the forums, and making a few posts. have fun
i would like to think so.. to bad i havnt been able to join one yet lol.. but any freeroll is worth playing.. especially if you are a good player.. even tho im new to this site and just getting a hand of it i think this site has some pretty cool offers.. thanks cards chat for my future progress lol
