Freerolls, passwords, and how to get into a private tournament.
What is a poker freeroll?
A poker freeroll is an online tournament that costs nothing to enter but pays a real prize pool. Poker rooms, forums and affiliate sites run them to attract new players and reward their communities. Most freerolls on this schedule have prize pools between $50 and $200, and a few reach $1,000 or more. Prizes are paid as cash in your poker room account or as tickets to bigger tournaments.
What is a freeroll password and why do some freerolls need one?
A freeroll password is a code you type when registering for a private freeroll. Organisers lock these tournaments so only their own community can join, which usually means far fewer players than an open freeroll. Each password works for one tournament and changes every time. The schedule above marks every freeroll that needs one.
Where can I find today's freeroll passwords?
Every published password is in the schedule above, next to its tournament, with a button to copy it. The busiest poker rooms also have their own page, linked at the bottom of this one, with that room's passwords, its schedule for the next 48 hours and the passwords from the last day. We check the sources every 30 minutes and add new passwords as they appear.
When are freeroll passwords published?
Most organisers publish the password shortly before the tournament starts, not when they announce it. Until then the schedule shows "Password soon" for that freeroll. Check back close to the start time, or keep the page open: we check every 30 minutes, and the password appears in the schedule as soon as the organiser posts it.
How do I join a freeroll with a password?
Open an account in the poker room, find the tournament in its lobby and press Register, then paste the password when the room asks for it. Copy the password from this page instead of typing it, because passwords are case sensitive. Register before late registration closes; after that the password no longer gets you in.
Why doesn't my freeroll password work?
The most common reason is a typing mistake: passwords are case sensitive, so copy them instead of typing. If a copied password still fails, registration may have closed or the organiser may have changed the password. Check that you are registering for the exact tournament name shown here, then check back, since we update every 30 minutes.
Do I need to make a deposit to play freerolls?
Most freerolls on this schedule need no deposit, only an account in the poker room. Some organisers add their own conditions, such as an account opened through their link, a minimum deposit or a few hands played for real money. The tournament details in the poker room lobby list any condition, so check them before you register.
Can I withdraw money I win in a freeroll?
Yes. Cash prizes from a freeroll land in your poker room balance like any other winnings, and you can withdraw them under the room's normal rules. Many rooms ask you to verify your identity first, and some set a minimum withdrawal amount. Ticket prizes are different: you play them in the tournament they are for instead of cashing them out.
