Online Poker Freerolls for actual CASH in January 2015

Remember when online poker freerolls were being run nearly all the time? Between five or so different online poker sites, it seemed that there was always an online poker freeroll to join at the top of the hour, practically 24 hours a day, every day, all year long.

Sadly, those days have passed.

But Juicy Stakes is bringing back the past by spreading three online poker freerolls every day. These start at 4.30 PM / 6.30 PM / 8.30 PM EST, and award tournament entries to the top 15 players. And they are also spreading an additional three online poker freerolls each week in January, with CASH prizes.

  • Tuesdays, 2 PM EST, $250 prize pool
  • Wednesdays, 7 PM EST, $250 prize pool
  • Thursdays, 6 PM EST, $500 prize pool

All you need to do is download and register with Juicy Stakes, then sign-up for the freerolls before they are full.

One point about cash winnings at the freerolls… 50% of the freeroll cash winnings have to be turned over as gross rake, before you’re eligible to withdraw.

Juicy Stakes accepts US players from all states, in addition to players from many other countries and jurisdictions.

Win a Seat to $1 Million Guaranteed Online Poker Tournament for $0.01?

It’s true.

For just $0.01 and a pull of a slot machine handle, you  could win a seat to Americas Cardroom’s $1 million guaranteed online poker tournament that starts on Sunday, December 14th. The seat is valued at $540.

Read on for more information from Americas Cardroom.

Win $1 Million Online Poker Tournament Entry for $0.01

Poker satellites suddenly have some new competition. Americas Cardroom has a brand new tournament entry feature called Spin To Get In that lets players win a seat in a major event without playing a single hand of poker. The slot machine-like feature invites players to spin a wheel for a chance to win a seat into a tournament for as little as $0.01.

“Poker is a game of skill, but we thought we’d bring a little luck to the table,” stated Americas Cardroom spokesperson Michael Harris. “With Spin To Get In, we’ve added a slot machine style component to our registration option. It’s a low-cost way to win a seat in a major tournament and players have already won big by taking advantage of the feature.”

Located in the lobby of each tournament and Sit & Go, Spin to Get In works much like a slot machine. Players are invited to place a bet of $0.01, $0.25, or $1 and spin a wheel. If a 3-of-a-kind shows up, the players automatically wins a seat into the event.

Harris notes that Spin To Get In is perfect for players who bust out of a tournament and can’t re-enter the traditional way. The feature is also open to players who haven’t yet registered for a tournament, however those who are currently playing in a tournament won’t see the feature.

While Spin To Get In has just launched, players are already seeing its virtues. Just the other day, an online poker player risked $0.01 and won a seat in Winning Millions. The $1 million guaranteed tournament is set to get underway on December 14th and is the first Sunday Million Dollar tournament to hit US shores in nearly four years.

Players will see the Spin To Get In feature located next to the Register button in the lobby of any Sit & Go or tournament. More information on Spin To Get In and Winning Millions can be found at Americas Cardroom.

Mobile Online Gambling

If you’ve been itching to gamble from your mobile devices, such as your iPhone, iPad, Android phone, Android tablet, Blackberry, or smartphone, then check out my ultra-simple mobile online gambling page. I’ve researched 100s of sites and found only those that offer a true mobile version of their gambling site. Currently, there are more mobile online casinos than other types of mobile gambling sites (poker, sports, horses, bingo, skill games), but over time I am sure that those types of mobile online gambling sites will come online.

Online Poker Freerolls at Juicy Stakes

Years ago, online poker freerolls were very common. Not so much these days.

But Juicy Stakes Poker is bucking that trend. They have daily freerolls at 4:30 PM, 6:30 PM, and 8:30 EST, with the top 15 finishers awarded a ticket to a cash prize tournament held later that day, or on the upcoming weekend. And, unlike at other online poker sites, these freerolls are open to all registered players — no deposit needed.

This weekend only, March 8 and 9, they are spreading two $500 freerolls. Both are at 6:00 PM EST, one each day.

Full Tilt Poker is back online for play-money games

In case you didn’t get the email from Full Tilt Poker, they’re back online and dealing poker games. But they are offering only free money online poker for players in the United States “…until such time as there is regulation and licensing permitting this”.

When will that be? Not before 2014 in my opinion. (I also predict that it will happen at the state, not the federal, level; and that once it starts, it’ll be an avalanche with 80% of all states offering real-money online poker within a year.)

Of course, there are still several places that deal online poker games for real money to U.S. players: Bovada Poker, Americas Cardroom, and OddsMaker.com Poker come to mind.

Nothing was mentioned in the email from Full Tilt Poker regarding reclaiming any money that was in your account when the site went kaput over a year ago. But I recently read an article in which the U.S. government put out a RFP, looking for an agency to handle the disbursement of funds to U.S. online poker players.
