It's hard to strat a free bankroll playing only freerolls because there are not many freerolls these days but with some luck yes it can be done.

Freerolls are a great way to learn and build a bankroll.

Freerolls are a great lesson on how you can make great decisions and still have bad luck. You are going to want to come to terms with that prior to investing money.

That's exactly what I'm doing. It's very simple. Play on freerolls and then test yourself with a backroll.

The only way is to play freerolls. CardsChat can give you this opportunity on all levels, so try this. However on your place I think I earn about 80$ and after this maybe put my own money to go on the higher limits.

Thank you all for your advice, well I'm going to set myself the goal of winning 5 dollars in freeroll tournaments.

If you have the time and patience to keep playing freerolls consistently, winning a few dollars now and then is almost guaranteed, I believe that is the reward for your time and effort.

Quite, I can start with a free bankroll playing freerolls. But it takes longer to climb the limits.

You don't have to invest money to build a bankroll. With freerolls it will be harder than if you invest money, but it is quite realistic. A little over a month ago I had exactly $0 on my balance. I managed to take 3rd place in a 1000 person freeroll with a prize fund of $100 and I got my first $10. Then I started playing cash games on NL2 and thus won about $150 in a month.

Freerolls are the key. If you want to play without using your own money then freerolls are the way to go. They may be time consuming but they are low risk.

Hello. I solved this question for myself as follows. I dropped $10 with a promo code for the first deposit. And I had $20 in my account. And played SNG 45max tournaments at $0.25 per tournament. This amount was enough for 80 tournaments. When opponents invest even small amounts in the pot, they play more correctly, and in the case of freerolls, there are a lot of inadequate newcomers.

I think it was easier in the past to build a bankroll for free (on the now defunct full tilt poker). Now, freerolls (except the CC ones) are few and far between to really count. With CC help, it is still possible though.

If you can’t win and build a bank in freerolls you will lose any you deposit! Get experience before you jump in with your hard earned money!

Of course, why not :), that's how I started poker and especially my first retreat was built from freerolls :)

Yes.

I never deposited my own money.

I started with a $1.40 freeroll cash on February 1st 2020.

I now have a bankroll over $14,000. :) ;)

Play all the cardschat freerolls and try to build up a bankroll, or multiple bankrolls across all the sites that cardschat is partnered with.

Also, if you ever want to play a really juicy freeroll, we host one every friday on America's Cardroom at 5pm ET (2 hour late registration) with $250 added to the prize pool.

It's a popular game (many CC members in there) and I stream it at http://twitch.tv/gripsed
Maybe come by and have some fun with us sometime!

Cheers :rolleyes:

I suggest you use as much advice as possible from Evan's http://youtube.com/gripsed
Best poker education I've ever had.
Never deposited and have built good bankrolls, but it takes time and you have to learn the game.

It sure is possible. But don't think that it will be easy to start a free bankroll with freeroll.
