Playing Freerolls – Worth It?

Houbi37 · May 1, 2026

freerolls are great for beginners and for building a bankroll with no risk. But they can take a lot of time. Do you think freerolls are worth playing regularly?

I don't use freerolls only to make money, which is nice. I also play freerolls to get me to stop worrying. For me, playing freerolls is good medicine.

freeroll is always good to learn and practice mayby even building a bankroll

blackstore0007 · May 2, 2026

Yes- Freerolls are worth it for learning and starting from zero, but not for making consistent money.

SergioV · May 2, 2026

Yeah, I think freerolls are worth playing, especially for beginners. You can learn the game and build a bankroll without risking your own money. They take time, but they are still good practice.

If it's worth it, of course.

I play too, sometimes with success.

Freerolls are indeed a good tool for beginners. They allow a player to become familiar with tournament poker without any financial risk and gradually build a basic understanding of different stages of the game.
However, this format has an important drawback — time consumption. Fields are usually very large, the structure is often fast, and the actual long-term profit is relatively low.
From a practical perspective, regularly playing freerolls is justified only at the very beginning of a poker journey. It is a learning stage rather than a stable source of income. As a player improves, their value decreases, and it becomes more efficient to transition to small buy-in tournaments with proper structures.
In other words, freerolls should be seen as a temporary tool: useful for starting out, but limited in long-term effectiveness.

last week my friend just win the free roll...and i think its worth it if you have big patience and a lil of luck.

It varies. Some people find it worth it, some don't. You have to remember that poker is a game of chance. Freerolls give me the opportunity to make a profit without investing. I have the time for it. Why wouldn't I?

Yes, they are worth it, especially for beginners and for building a bankroll without risk. Even though they can be long and have huge fields, they are still great for gaining experience and improving your game.

Poker is my hobby, and freerolls have been really useful for improving my skills and building a bankroll with zero risk. CardsChat offers tons of events that help its members grow their bankrolls through freerolls...Worth it....

It depends. They're good for risk-free training, but the return on investment for the time spent is low. I prefer tournaments with fewer participants.

Ketoupitou · May 9, 2026

For the fun? Absolutely!

CardFather · May 9, 2026

I play freerolls when i need to build extra bankroll, but I also play all the ticket ones for free entries for high stakes. So definitely worth it. I do this even when i have huge Bankroll. its a nice way to stay ahead. I won 880.5 worth of tickets in the last 2 weeks from tournaments and streamers. And I'm up 320 off of them already still have a few to play.

In my experience, freerolls are often very wild and chaotic. A lot of players don’t care about strategy, so the games become super aggressive and unpredictable. In the end, the payouts are usually very low compared to the time invested, so the value is often close to zero unless you’re just starting out or trying to practice patience.

moraeskvmi · May 9, 2026

It's totally worth it!

theStarfish · May 9, 2026

Absolutely! Playing freerolls allow you to get practice for free and without risking your bankroll. And the reward is experience and maybe some money, so it is usually a good thing to play

It depends on what your goal is. If your goal is just to make money, freerolls are not the best option since it usually takes hours to win only a few dollars. But it doesn’t bother me to play one or two more freerolls while I’m playing regular tournaments, so it’s a chance to win some free money while I play other tournaments.
