How Does A Bitcoin Freeroll Work?

Freerolls are quite simple to understand as they are basically a tournament that is free to participate in, with an added prize pool from the poker site. The freeroll will then pay the players that ends in the payouts with everything from Bitcoins to tournament buy-ins.

Depending on what type of freeroll it is, the value added to the tournament can very small but also very high. Many poker sites have monthly freerolls for all their VIP levels, with 0.001 Bitcoin to 1 Bitcoin added in prizes. This means that loyalty can be rewarded well by many sites and provide players with a chance to win a huge amount of Bitcoins for free.

While the buy-in for a freeroll is always free, some freeroll tournaments allows players to re-buy if they are busting out and also to do an add-on in the break to have a bigger chip stack. This means that even though the freeroll might be free to play, you can in some cases spend Bitcoins on improving your chances of winning the prizes. The Bitcoins that players use to re-buy or purchase an add-on will almost always be added to the total prize pool, making the freeroll even more valuable.

When you register for a freeroll, remember to check if it is with re-buy and add-ons before the tournament starts, so you know if players will play crazy or normal and also so you have a chance to deposit some Bitcoins into the account to play, if you haven't already got Bitcoins there.

How can I participate in a Bitcoin Freeroll?

There can be many different ways to participate in a freeroll, it all depends on if the freeroll has any requirements for participation or not. So the first thing to check in freerolls is if they are locked to any specific type of players. This could be players of a certain VIP level on the site, new depositing players or for players of a specific affiliate only. When you have checked that, you will either have to fulfill the requirement to participate or if there are no requirements, you can simply just register.

Another requirement for freerolls could be that you would have to play a certain amount of raked hands, before being eligible to participate in the freeroll. This means that only players that have been active on the cash game tables of the site will be able to enter in the freeroll, everybody else is locked out. This can easily be solved by playing some cash games on the site and reach the target to become eligible to participate.

In some cases it is not worth the trouble to reach the different requirements to play a freeroll, as it would take too much time to reach them to be able to win for example $10. But in many cases it can work out well if you find the sites with the best freerolls and stick to playing on them, as they will reward your loyalty with the chance to win even more free money, tournament tickets and gadgets.

Freerolls are easy to find on the biggest Bitcoin poker sites, as they are shown in a special "Freeroll" tab in the poker client. At Betcoin Poker they have lots of daily small freerolls along with bigger monthly ones, while at SealsWithClubs you can find them running weekly with a decent sized prize pool.

Can I get other promotions with the Freerolls?

Since freerolls are used a lot as a marketing tool to acquire new players or as added value to loyal customers, you will always be able to get other promotions when you play freerolls. The sites that hosts the freerolls will be more than happy to keep you as a customer if you win Bitcoins in the freeroll and they will provide you with everything that everyone else can get such as rakeback/VIP/Cashback system, bonuses and much more.

Even though the returns of freerolls might be small compared to the time you are spending on playing them, you will be able to learn poker for free and even make some Bitcoins to help your bankroll increase.
