Yes its not just pokerstars but ACR as well and probably other rooms. And pokerstars quit giving out sportsbetting freebies as well.

I hadn't seen a shortage like that before, but that's not enough to put me off the game. I can break it a thousand times, they can extinguish online poker, and I create another way.

When God wants, even the Devil obeys.

Suggestion:
Check Tournament lobby settings. I'm able to see LOTS of games to play.

You 'Live Poker' but you won't buy into a game?

And in my opinion, nothing is so bad that it can't get worse, I can't see a light at the end of the tunnel.🤔😁


It's called $$. Very simple solution. And perhaps not surprisingly the games are played with much more thought & skill... making for a better game. And on top of this, the payouts for these games are BIGGER than the freerolls.

Hmm )))
The worst freeroll year is year without freerolls :p
It's almost that, but we still have 7 months and ten days until the end of the year.;)

You little moralist, may God bless you and may you never break:).

I should have started playing for my own money a long time ago, because there are a lot of tournaments, but I don't play very many free tournaments at all because the payout is not very high there. I play with my own money and win more than before, I even miss the $300 888 poker tournament

There aren't that many, I think I know how to look in the lobby. Just crap. Last year there were some more valuable ones, I even lost the desire to play, without great risks or rewards.

haha, I've done this too, the wheel of life my brother, don't forget the pendulum goes back and forth. And we don't have as much control as we think, not even being the best player in the world.

I get the occasional $20 free sports bet. Sometimes I get a bet $20, get $20 sports bet/casino/tourney dollar challenge.

Don't you think you take freerolls a little too seriously?

If you want to earn money risk-free look into matched betting (you use the bonuses and bet on sports).

Without a doubt this is the case, I have seen how in several poker sites they have reduced free tournaments and in others they have eliminated them completely

Yes, since pokerstars released its freerolls there hasn't been much left, honestly, I imagine it must be the worst year for freerolls on the forum.

I do not think so.

That is true!

Except for the excellent promotions they are having on the WPT for Brazilians (if I'm not mistaken, it's also happening for Korea and Japan), in terms of freerolls, this year (and despite playing online poker for a short time), it's been the worst than any other I have seen!

Freerolls are an important part for many low stakes players, so I believe that some rooms are really lacking in this regard, which makes them less attractive.

Precisely because of the promotions I have currently played infinitely more on the WPT.

Everything is according to the purpose of each room.

It's natural that the WPT will soon reduce freerolls. With a view to the objective of reaching new members. Anyway. But in fact, I miss the free from ACR, PS and GG

Me too, I don't like the WPT software. Needs improvements.

acr streamers freerolls were the best ever
It was always the best room in my opinion. Not to mention that they made a lot of improvements and innovative things. Because of the freerolls, it was the room where I made the most profits.
