A question I get asked all the time when the topic of online poker comes up is “What is the best site for free online poker? The answer is quite simple really: All of the major online poker sites like Poker Stars, Full Tilt and Party Poker all offer free poker. However, the first thing I try to explain to new poker players is that playing in poker freerolls is the smartest thing to do.
Why play in poker freerolls? Well, first of let me tell you what a poker freeroll is. A poker freeroll is a tournament where the buy-in and tournament fee is $0. That means you do not need to pay to enter, but you can still win REAL money. Why not at least have the chance of winning money while you are learning the great game of poker?
Sounds like a great deal. But, who is going to give away free money and why? The online poker rooms offer freerolls as promotions as a way to get poker players to try their poker room and hopefully make a deposit later when they are ready to play for real money.
When players are ready to play for real money, most online poker rooms also offer a first time deposit bonus. The deposit bonus is usually 100%, but sometimes more and sometimes less. For example, if you deposit $100, they will give you $100 as a bonus after you meet certain raked hand requirements. It’s really a great offer for first time depositors! If it is your first time playing at a particular online poker room, remember to look for the poker bonus codes and enter in the code when you make your first deposit!
