What is a freeroll tournament?

Freeroll (sometimes it is spelled free roll) is a tournament where the buy-in and tournament fee is $0.

The prize pool of the freeroll is guaranteed by the poker room. It cannot be bigger or smaller because add-ons or rebuys are not available.

In most cases poker rooms allow only real money players (players who have made a deposit) to participate in freerolls. However, PokerNews does occasionally host freerolls for play money players. Qualification requirements differ from room to room and may include a raked hand or points requirement to receive full eligibility.

We recommend you read the full details prior to participating in any freeroll promotion.
