do you have any idea how many coin flips you need to win to run deep in a field like that?
Well if the opponents are all you, and it's anybody else from the forum series luck is with them
Truly though it might as well be a lottery you have to watch for a couple hours. I won free entries and tickets into similar scaled events on 888, and it was just a crazy free for all. What do you expect though when 1st in a Milly guaranteed tournament wins 10K. Pretty much better off just letting yourself blind out in those events and scooping some min cash without even showing up.
So I don't play slots or anything like that really but I have seen the odd "free money" offer in Poker lately. This is obviously in the form of tickets. Right now on GGpoker you get like 60$ in WSOP tourney tickets if you deposit 20$. I unfortunately had already registered there so I don't know the ins and outs but sounds like it's instant and you can play with them. Most are satellite tickets but it's still free to play.
Then there is I want to say Pokerstars maybe that gives you 30$ free plays when you make a deposit, again can't be sure on the release but it didn't seem like you had to play to get it just make that first deposit... even if you have to play 1 tourney first you could say the rest is free. Never could try this all my banking and credit card companies think the gambling is bad
Now if you've played sites and left there is the real free money. I legit only go back to 888 every few months when they send me 5$ hoping to suck me back in.
I'm also pretty sure almost all major Poker sites have some small free rolls. They are pretty much a coin flip with the quality of players out there, but you can still grind and work your way up to buy-ins or micro cash games. Just don't expect life changing money opportunities for free... they aren't coming.
