Free roll tournaments are offered by many poker rooms as a way to attract new players. In many ways free rolls offer better value to the player than a free chip deal. But these free multi-tabled tournaments are often overlooked by most players.

A free roll is when a poker site agrees to pay the entry fee into a specific tournament on your behalf. Many sites now automatically enter all new players who join into a special weekly 'New Player' free roll tournament. The payouts for winning these tourneys can be up to $5000! Even a top 20 finish could land you $50 - $200. Because these tourneys are only open to new players your chances of winning one can be very high. Remember that many of the players in the tourney will never have played poker before. If you're a steady player you have a great chance of landing in the money.

You can get a free roll with WPT without even depositing a penny into the site! This is a totally free WPT satellite Tournament, in theory you could win a major WPT event without spending a penny!
