It all depends. There are rooms where there aren't many freerolls, but at least at 888poker it could be achieved. They have or had very good promotions for freeroll tournaments and free tickets for very good tournaments. So, just as you could achieve it in less than 1 month, it could also take a couple of months. Of course, it also depends on the time you dedicate to it.

I think if you use all the poker rooms available to you then 6 months is a reasonable target. That said you’d need to be cashing in a high percentage of the tournaments you played in.

It depends on your time availability and whether you have a PC capable of opening all the sites. Freeroll opportunities are everywhere. Some pay very well. If you can dedicate yourself and play everything, you can easily build up this bankroll in a month (from personal experience).

How long does it take to build a 500$ bankroll playing only freerolls???
I took that challenge - Zero Bankroll Builder Challenge - it is not for the faint of heart, but as long as you have the time and discipline, it is very possible!

I documented the entire journey and my thread is still going.

Cheers, see you at the tables.

I tried this on Bwin or partypoker , I had no luck , only once I got a 20$ after a long time if struggling with their freerolls and free sats and free whatever . A waste of time . Deposit try your luck , if you get screwed, leave the poker room or don't deposit again

It takes a lot of time, I'm guessing it takes several years, ten... A small number of people have succeeded in doing so, they are members of our community, and they only play free tournaments.

Depending on how many poker rooms there are and how many freerolls there are... And so much free time...)
I think that quantity is not the main thing, but quality, skill and luck.

I once won over 2k from a single free roll 😀
I can not imagine how good that must of felt.

That’s 1/5th of the buy in for the WSOPMain event all from a freeroll!I just do not understand when players turn their nose up at all freerolls.

Some of them are a must with deep structures and great payouts, just the learning experience alone against a bunch of damn good grinders mixed in with newbies, fun players is great experience.

Freerolls should always be kept in mind. It depends on each player's bankroll which ones to play. But there are some rooms that offer very nice ones, such as WPT Global. ;)

It was way back when I could play on poker stars once a month they had a silver star freeroll with 25k prize pool I finished 2 out of 7k+ entrants
