888 Freerolls just got worse

[R.Holynskyi]

I agree. Conditions have become less attractive. But I think this is due to the fact that there were fewer online players in the summer. I think by the end of the summer, everything will go back.

If this is not a joke then u are actually part of the problem. Pretty interesting comment from a long time player like u imo.

I wonder why this behaviour? Why suck every free cent out of a site and not support them one little bit with some real money buy-in here and there?

There will be not much left soon. Acr maybe but even guys like u will probably understand that they completely waste their life grinding those 50 $ freerolls there.

Imo sites should simply ban players who show this parasitic behaviour over a longer period of time from their free offers or let them roll over freeroll winnings before they are allowed to cashout. They bring no value at all.

I think it was a dig at those types of players. But I agree with everything else you said.

How can sites be expected to give away $1,000's every single day to players that have absolutely no intention of putting that money back into the eco-system? Personally, I have built bankrolls a number of times from freerolls, but I do then play real money games and continue to build from there.

I personally think that freerolls should only give away tournament or cash Dollars. That way, the money is guaranteed to flow back into the real money games.

Today 888 simply cut by half (or even closed) morning freerolls.

First one starts at 8:00 (GMT -3) and used to offer 400 ($1,10 I think) seats, now only 200
Second one at 9:00 (GMT - 3) used to offer 200 ($3,30) seats, now only 100
Third one remains equal at 10:00, offering 50 ($5,50) tickets

Last one used to happens at 11:00 (GMT-3), but now it's over :-(

Bad news for freeroll players

Even with all these changes, 888 continues to be the best poker room for freeroll-only players. Yes, it has become more difficult in daily satellites, but for me it means that there will be 2 times less opponents. So it's not all bad.

Sometimes the tickets are worthwhile. A few weeks ago I won a $888 ticket although I failed to finish ITM with it :-(

So yes you seee you failed , a lot of people failed becouse its ticket . Its hard idk , but for me its hard to go with ticket to get some money prizepool ITM. I think its a 90 procents about you will lose anyway ,always with ticket . SO i hate this this is one of the reason .

They even have freerolll with just 10 places paid and 2888 participants, and it can not stop me from winning them

I would wait for a few days to see if it is permanent.

888Poker has cut the number of seats in those tournaments a few times at the end of the week only to return the number of seats at the start of the next week.

If not I think they'll return the seats to the previous number after the summer.

Even with these cuts they still remain the best site for freerolls

Sometimes poker rooms start to offer good promotions, but with time the promotion get worse. A couple of years 888poker had $5k freeroll everyday. Party Poker started with great freerolls a couple of months ago, now they don’t even worth to play anymore.

 

[Poker Orifice]

Once upon a time, people discovered they could play poker 'online'. What a great new experience! This is amazing!
We then simply deposited some money into an account & then were able to play poker AND to play against players from all over the WORLD! Amazing!

It was fantastic for so many reasons. Some players were even able to win money in the long run.

 

[aorodrigo]

WORST things now

They've simply removed ALL satellites freerolls :-(

ALL OF THEM

 

[millya5]

It is rightly said that a person gets used to good things quickly. We should be happy about this . I don’t know about others, but I like the $450 tournament . The real beginning of the tournament is Bingo . Good luck to all

I think 888poker is waaay more generous than any other room in matter of freerolls offer.
They already do a lot offering them. Have in mind that no room has any obligation whatsoever to offer freerolls.
Poker rooms don't have to be generous. They have a business to run, anything they do to reward players is to attract more people to play.

its just advertising for them.they make money off this by letting people play the game for real money because its fun and they will get hooked and start wanting to deposit and play real money so its not like they're just offering these out of the kindness of their hearts lol.its all business.

I find 888 freerolls can come and go, but they are still good and are the only ones I play really.. Good luck

So what u are saying is that they are actively trying to promote their business? Mindblowing!

I guess all the other sites who offer freerolls/promotions only do that for charity purposes.

 

[martinoni]

Control your mind... breatheeee and then know that you can do whatever you want with this freerolls, since play for fun or to elevate a little your bankroll... At least for me it helps a lot because I play micro stakes...

 

[WrongUsername]

888 at least offer some freerolls other sites only offer endless bad beats.

oh, did it blow your mind? thats good haha cuz I wasnt talking to you, but ok. If you read the op's post that i was commenting on, my response makes alot of sense regarding his post implying that these companies are doing us a favor by offering us freerolls.what favor is that?

 

[mr.fers_one]

be glad that they exist at all)) take advantage of the moment while you can, and play for fun))

 

[Margo17]

But other good freerolls always appear, just wait!

 

[Nate420]

888 are still the king of freerolls!

And they can be really lucrative
