I hope this post generates hundreds of comments, think with great affection and if you can, leave your opinion here.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but I'll give you a tip here: Look at the time I stayed in the tournament and the prize I won.

Are you complaining about being a low payout for the time you played? I didn't understand exactly

I didn't give my opinion yet, I just asked the question.

Of course it is. You can achieve a lot with vigilance and bankroll discipline.
But I'm afraid luck also from time to time

Course is? More than 4 hours of work and your pay is 1 dollar, doesn't it seem like slave labor to you?

Some freerolls are a waste of time.

But once you become a platinum level member, there are really good freerolls in CC.

not a freeroll per se, but the 1k tourney for brazilian players is totally worth it.

You don't have to be a platinum member but you have to deposit 10 dollars on your pokerstars account and you get 3 tickets to play a 1K tourney.

If you are running on a zero/low bankroll. Then the CC free rolls are an excellent way to build that up. With small fields, there is a good chance with patience and applying your skill set, that you will make the cash and occasional final table. People should not look at it on a day-to-day basis, but instead a month-to-month basis. Making a dollar here and there, with a better occasional cash, it soon adds up at the end of the month. There are some people not lucky enough to make regular deposits. So free rolls for them are the way to go. Or you could be stuck with play chips, i know what i'd rather do.

I agree with you, really there are several that are not worth the time you spend on them, several, many, the vast majority in my opinion.

With only 1 deposit will I earn 3 tickets?

you can find more details here

The january freeroll was yesterday. So if you deposit from now on you will receive 2 tickets, to play the february and march freerolls.

I can't garantee they will have more freerolls for the next trimester, but it's very likely

I imagine it's only 1 ticket per deposit, anyway it's a good opportunity, since I don't even have a PS balance, I'm going to make a deposit this month, it may be that even with a little balance, but with a little luck, I can win some money. Very thanks.

Low bankroll yet.
That may change with our CC freerolls and our homegames 😉
In addition to the 1K for Brazilians theres a 1k monthly CC freeroll for platinum members.
In avg 200$ for first place 👌🏼

Well... $1 for 4hrs it's not really that much, but $25 dollars in first place for like 6hrs or so it's good in my opinion (not even mentioning that they are freeroll's)

Playing ONLY the freeroll , no it doesn't worth it .

I always try to play some other games at the same time . Freerolls are there for some extra chances , $$$ , rakeback .

But yes if you ONLY play them and nothing else , you should do it when you have free time I think , like before you sleep or while you wait for something else or you have nothing else to do so you play for fun . So then if you lose , no reason to rant . But if you play only the freeroll just for the $$$ and you play 3, 4 or 5 hours just to mini cash some cents , yes , that sucks ..,....

Cardschat freerolls are worth it. The rest are a pretty big waste of time.

When you play these low payout freerolls, you are choosing to spend your time there for some reason. Maybe you are learning how to play. Maybe you are avoiding losing money. Maybe you just want to play for fun. Whatever it is, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with making a big prize. So yes, it is worth it to play freerolls for many reasons, but making a huge winning for your bankroll is usually not one of them. There are very few freerolls that will pay you a good hourly rate to win them.

But realistically in poker we lose lose and lose some more, so don't just look at the $1 after the four hours of play. Look at the $0 for two or three hours of play many many times over. And then look at the negatives (lost $) in all those tournaments where you paid to play and lost.

Depending on how variance treats you, poker will be a blessing or, more likely, a very mixed type of bag when it comes to returns on your time invested in it.

Exactly. There are many valid reasons to play freerolls. But if you are a winning player, it is often best to pass on most freerolls and certainly one like this, where 1.000+ people are competing for 100$. But even higher value freerolls prevent you from planning your session the way, you want, and therefore you might actually end up winning less, than if you had passed on the freeroll.

Yesterday I played my first freeroll in ages. It was one of those "special freerolls" on ACR, which have been running in january, where you basically get into a 2,2$ MTT for free, and then you can also win 1.000$ for knocking out the streamer. This is certainly a high value freeroll, and in theory I could have played some other games on the site. But I did not, so I ended up spending my entire evening on just this one freeroll, and after around 2½ hours I busted near the bubble.

Dear friend. For reach higher results you'll have to begin with the small ones, keep playin' seriously, keep studying and collaborating here so you will get better results. I recommend you to try some satellites. In some poker sites you can enter for free or for cents. This Saturday I have played the Weekly Freeroll at partypoker (free entry by a ticket won via daily free spin promotion). Over 4k players, I finished something like 200th and won a 0,55 cent ticket.

With the 0,55 ticket I won a 3.30 ticket. With 3.30 ticket I won a $22 ticket for a big KO game on the next Sunday. Does it worth? For sure!

You can pm me if you want for some advice about nice satellites. By sat, I played twice the Sunday Million, the Venom ($620), a $530 game at Partypoker, and others.

For fast money, you can also try spin and go.

Don't worry about the long sessions with small winnings, it's part of the game. GL

Check it out the 888 Cardschat freeroll from last Saturday. (attached pic)

If money is all that matters to you and you don't value the game itself, then you have little chance of success. I think you should find another hobby :)

This sums it up pretty well.

I stopped playing the Bronze freerolls for exactly this reason and also most public freerolls are a waste of time.

Just concentrate on the ones you consider worth your time and leave out the rest. 🙂

True but I like the 50$ casino org, won it 2 times but yeah it kinda is a waste of time considering you play 6 hours for 9-10 bucks for first place
