recently 888pokers had offered a $100,000 freeroll
pokerstars also boasted 50,000 dollar free tournaments a couple of years ago, but you could only win tickets there

What have been your biggest experiences?

The biggest freerolls I played were at 888 and ACP. The biggest prize pools were 100 000. But I've also played at least one freeroll for 250 000, which was at 888 about a year ago.

Not sure, but I think there was a 1m$ freeroll on GGPoker last Christmas. 🔥

It was a 2-day tournament.

Edit: it was actually a freeroll for New Year. Here's the CC thread for it:

About two or three years ago I played a series of freerolls that paid 1 full package to play a tournament in Punta Del Leste, Uruguay. We arrive at HU and the villain goes all-in and I call with KK. Villain opens 55 and trips on the flop. I had more chips but there were few left and I was eliminated in the next hand. I could never forget that hand!

Played the $20,000 one on 888 last week. Good payouts. Min cashed that one for $10. Top prize was in excess of $2,000, so pretty good return on nothing.

I should imagine it has to be something from 888 considering they pretty much still spend more on freerolls in 1 month than some other sites do in one year ...

Therefore it's probably quite shame that havent played there since forever ...

Hi :)
500 000. It was a freeroll for 888. But in order to get a ticket to this freeroll, you had to complete weekly tasks for several weeks.

I've never seen one of those! I think the biggest free rolls I've played are the Cardschat ones.

For me it was on 888's God of the Arena series in 2018. I got into the main event randomly through a feeder freeroll that was going at the same time. That was a $100'000 dollar event back then with a $320 buy-in.


I still think of that event on some days.

I remember years ago they had a real good one on pokerstars on Christmas Day and I was trying to play at the same time I was trying to cook the turkey and I mistakenly did a misclick and exited the tourney but I still won a few hundred dollars. Those were the days when they actually handed out cash and not just tournament tickets.

I don't remember, but I think it was one of those 888poker freerolls when they make promotions, like this last promo that they will offer $10k freeroll if you complete a couple of requirements.

I think it was a 1.000.000 dollars freerolls on PokerStars some years ago or was it a centroll ?? And I am not 100% sure that the prizepool was 1M , maybe it was 100.000 $ . A lot oft time has passed since then , when freerolls were many and the prizepool was very good

For a few years now 888poker has had the best freeroll promotions, I think at 888poker they have had 100K, 50K and I think one 250K freerolls and pokerstars has also had some good ones but the truth is I don't remember because that was many years ago

$100,000.
It was a cool freeroll at 888. I was unlucky though, I didn't win anything. But that day, I managed to get to the final table in our CardsChat freeroll and that largely compensated for my disappointment.
