Of course... But it all depends on your plans!

Time, amount, planning, etc...
How much exactly do you need to save?

There are many daily freerolls available nowadays (far fewer than before, but there are still some!).

CardChats alone provides over 100 freerolls per month (that's right, am I correct?).

So, depending on your desired bankroll and dedication, it is indeed possible!

In my example, I made a $20 deposit once and practically never needed to put more money into any poker platform again, mostly playing freerolls.

Today my bankroll is close to zero, so I will start another journey with freerolls to raise funds.

As you increase your bankroll, you can start playing more games and buying in paid entries.

On average, I make one deposit per year, usually for $10-15. Do you know why?
I make a deposit in order to get a withdrawal method. Thanks to freerolls, my bankroll is constantly growing, so I play in tournaments with buy-ins without risking my own money. I withdraw the money I win in tournaments with buy-ins. Thanks to this, poker is a source of additional income for me.

Many successful players started out with freerolls and were able to build their first bankroll without any investment, and then move on to more serious stakes.

Yes, you can. For example, start on GG; they offer a daily freeroll with only a few competitors.

Of course you can. Is it easy? No. But you can slowly build a bankroll step by step.
What I would recommend is playing on several different poker sites so you can register for as many freerolls as possible. That way, you can start building a bankroll across multiple platforms at the same time.
Good luck, and be patient. Anything worthwhile takes time.

You can learn poker without risk by playing free rolls at first
Then accumulate bank rolls to challenge higher levels and keep moving upwards.

I did reach $100 with freerolls and low buy-in tournaments, but then I went to play cash games and lost it again.😔😂

Yes, it's totally possible! Many professionals started in freerolls. The secret is to have patience, study the basic strategies, and maintain discipline. It's the best way to learn without risk.

Definetely yes. It's very possible. There are a lot of freerolls everywhere. Going step by step, getting better day by day, sooner or later you will start winning 20 cents here, 10 dollars there. Which you can use for other tournaments.

Too much experimenting hurts as they say!
I suggest keep on grinding in the same format untill the odds swing back in your favour! ✌🏼😊

for me it's the best method... even today I play with a bank roll that I built in freerolls, and I'm not going to change, I feel more pressure when it's my own money, I don't know how to explain it, it's a very dark feeling

Yes you can. But you will need a lot of free time, patience and understand the ABC of poker strategy.
I built my bankroll mainly from Cardschat's freerolls( I was playing on PS, 888 , ACR). Great freerolls with nice payouts for the top spots. Also the monthly ones were/are fantastic!

Nowadays I still play the ones on GG alongside with my real money MTTs.

Without a doubt, many here have already done this; just don't forget to learn about bankroll management after achieving it.

Obviously, the answer doesn't have to be very complex. Find out which are the most recommended free ones and dedicate time and effort to them.

But you need to stay cool. Today I've played CC's freeroll at GG. 2nd place. Lost 77 x 97s allin preflop. We were almost with the same amount of chips and he called my allin with NOTHING, but hit a 9 on flop. Who on Earth do that?

I am not saying it in order to cry or criticize the opponent, the message I am trying to pass is the following: On a long run, if you play the abc poker, you'll win! I got $17, went to cash games and all-in-or-fold and my bankroll is now over $50. Started the day with $0

Patience and perceverance and you will achieve what you want :)

It's perfectly possible. Especially for us at Cardschat, due to our freerolls which have smaller and more serious fields.

Other freerolls have huge fields and are exhausting, as we end up playing for a long time and often all we get are pennies. So focus on our community's freerolls.

Once you have a considerable bankroll, start playing paid games. But always respect bankroll management, which should be very conservative, especially at the beginning.

Totally possible!

I usually play only freerolls or micro stakes games and I can say that this is completely possible.

Anyway, it will not be quick, specially if you are starting the game exactly now, as you will not have the knowledge to do this properly.
