I know that poker stars has changed a lot over the years, but it still has a very large field of players. Wouldn't it still be feasible to have a freeroll tournament grid? I discovered this forum through the freerolls that Poker Stars had.

I also can't find interesting freerolls on pokerstars, however there are satellites, frankly the satellites are interesting if you win the stages, but are too difficult to win especially the PokerStars site I find to win it is the most difficult site sincerely, a lot of variables come into play I don't understand

I have my thoughts and opinions on this but there mine. So why would they want to give free roll players free rolls anymore? This of how many players only play free rolls. The started it to get players to join into real games and deposit money. If there not gaining players this way anymore why would they continue them. Then look at comments in the forums. Some site are active where they can be. Its rigged, I would never deposit there, I only play free rolls. I can prove there cheating and on an on. If i saw that and ran the company why would i want to continue them?

I do think they miss out not having some but to be honest, those days are over.

Eu também não consigo encontrar freerolls interessantes no PokerStars, no entanto, existem satélites, francamente os satélites são interessantes se você ganhar as etapas, mas são muito difíceis de ganhar, especialmente no site do PokerStars. Acho que ganhar é o site mais difícil, sinceramente, muitas variáveis entram em jogo, eu não entendo.

Yes, they are difficult to play, PokerStars was very strange after it was sold to a group, something like that, I'm not saying security, but variables, very difficult to play clean poker, obviously the pattern is random, but there are so many bad parts that it's not possible to play normally there

Are you saying that PokerStars is rigged? Well, the variance is so great that it makes me angry, but you said you can prove it, can you? I'm not doubting you, but if I doubt you will make my lifelong dream of knowing the truth about PokerStars come true.

PokerStars has really changed a lot and it's obvious to everyone that these changes are not for the better. poker sites are gradually abandoning freerolls, and this is not just a trend at PokerStars. The only site that I think is a favourite in the freeroll direction is 888. If you like freerolls, then you should go to 888.

A lot of poker sites like PKR and Full Tilt disappeared and I think that one of the main reasons are freerolls.

Poker businesses aren't interested in charity unfortunately, they are about generating profits for shareholders. there is an optimal time per game per server that i am sure they are aware of and hence their games are tailored to suit. the boom years for online poker are pretty much done. high volume is the only way that online grinders can make it worth while.

im not saying pokerstars is rigged, but if you follow how their algorithm works you can understand why the bad beats seem to rack up on that site.

The simple fact is that PokerStars is a business, and they don't make money on freerolls (in fact they lose money). The statistics don't lie: freeroll players generally are not making deposits and paying rake, where they make their money. It might have been a great marketing tool back in the day, but times have changed; regulations make it even more complicated, and it just isn't good for profitability.

I dont know were you look , but are plenty of tourneys freerolls every day 😜🤙
Thread is about Pokerstars. Do u actually play there? It's called freeroll tourneys...😜🤪😝🤙🤟🤘

"I'm not saying it's rigged but it's rigged!"

Ur "observations" mean absolutely nothing. U alone are not able to follow an algorithm and come to conclusions. U need a computer that analyses millions of hands for that.

So no, u completely misunderstood what u saw.

Sometimes in pokerstars tournaments and also in Sunday Millions tournaments, players do not reach the guaranteed tournament prize pool
For example, to reach the guaranteed Sunday Million prize pool, a minimum of 10,000 players is needed, but sometimes there are as few as 9,600.
This means that the losses in the tournament in question amount to $4,000.
(yes they still get about 9600 dollars in rake profit from those 9600 players but that's another question )

If we talk about the Cardchat freerolls that pokerstars took away from us, then it's not nearly as big a loss for the pokerstars poker site.
The fact that they are not getting paid seats to meet their guarantees, just proves my point about depositing players. The fact is, PokerStars has team of financial experts who work the numbers, and see all aspects of income and expenditures that we are not privy to. I wish we still had our freerolls too - they were really great for us! But the sad fact is that they were just no longer worth the cost for PokerStars. :(

Hi :)
PokerStars has deteriorated significantly. It used to be my favourite site, but now I hardly ever play there.
To replace our freerolls that were on PokerStars, you can consider our cool freerolls on Replay. This is also a pretty interesting option :)

I have no idea. Poker Stars used to be a great site and had some good freerolls but they've kind of gone downhill for a while now.

I personally could not win a freeroll ticket on Pokerstars playing thousands of tournaments. Not sure why it was so difficult. All a wee bit strange.
