I prefer tournaments with a guaranteed prize because it is more worth your time.

Honestly freewill are pretty dumb to even enter.  It's an all in war, it's not even poker, and in the end if you are lucky enough to win the poker lottery its pretty much worth nothing.  Not worth my time.  Can't get time back, play for real stakes or don't play at all I say.

I feel the same way, i've never participated in freerolls but to me they're very similar to faucets due to how low the prizes are that's why they're not worth the time unless you have tons of free time to spare and in the mood to play some poker.

On the bright side they're still a good starting point for gamblers who are new to poker so it's not that bad to burn some time even with very little prizes.

Freerolls are a way of introducing the game on the site to attract new users so of course, people don't have to expect much good reward coming from it.

A guaranteed prize is different on the other hand because it now involved applying real skills to the game so it's expected that the reward is good or decent.

If for implementation on the site, why not offer both?

Of course tournaments with guaranteed prizes, free rolls might be free but there is a low chance that you are going to win something out of it compared to guaranteed prizes which is better because you just have to play and at the least enjoy the game and get some rewards out of it.

Prize tournaments, why bother playing if not for that no? Freerolls are just there for players to try out some stuff, it's not really something you'd rather want when you've been playing for a long time. Most old-timers would probably prefer prize tournaments, especially those that actually enjoy playing and gambling, while on the other hand, free rolls are an incentive for a beginner to try your place out. I've had my fair share of both and I can't say that one is not needed, it just depends on what player you want to cater on. If both, then apply both, I don't think it's much of an issue with proper management.

Freerolls are good to start to build a sites player base or help a players rebuild his bankroll if he had a bad session, but you should concentrate on adding guaranteeds as well for depositing players.

Freerolls usually pay very small and are a hard grind, whereas a guaranteed has the posibility of making some good money.

If they are building a reputation for the site then probably a guaranteed prize would be the best one but the problem with this one is that it heavily favors users instead of the business which is going to be detrimental for their long-term survivability in the market. I would go for guaranteed prize too as I am a player but if I was on the other side, I would go for the free rolls because it is much cheap and there is a low chance that someone is going to win with those free rolls.

How is there a low chance someone will win? In a freeroll there is always gonna be a winner and the site pays that outta their pocket. In a guaranteed, the players make the prize pool and the site loses nothing outta pocket unless not enough players enter to cover the guarantee.

Maybe tournaments. But that is only if you have good skills in poker games because you will meet many players who will have different skills in that tournaments. You can win easily or hardly and that will depend on your skills.

If you want to practice your skills, maybe a poker room will be useful for you as in that room, you will not have difficulty seeing how other players play. But do not use too much money as you are still learning poker games.

[Poker Player]

Freerolls are a good way to get started and build up a small bankroll. In my case, I have been playing for many years, and I earn money regularly, I am only interested in tournaments with guaranteed prizes and not much either, since my main source of income is cash, but from time to time I do play a tournament. I don't like them so much because of the variance. Cash is a relatively constant source of income.

You are right, it's more worth claiming faucets than wasting time on these freerolls.

Even those are not worth the time mostly but yeah better than winning nothing is to have a guaranteed prize so at least you walk away with something.

I prefer deposit bonus as a much better thing than these freerolls and if I am not wrong nitrogen recently troubled a user because they managed to win something from those freerolls and later the case was solved but that is how clumsy things are with these kinds of freerolls.

I don't play poker much so I am not sure how these freerolls work but a deposit bonus with wagering requirement is much more worth for me.

Freerolls are only fun during promotional events, but in order for a platform to gain regular patrons, they need to hold regular tournaments with guaranteed prize. I personally would want to climb the leaderboards and win the pot if I were an experienced poker player. It combines entertainment, competitiveness, and diligence all in one go. For free rolls, it only takes you so far without any form of motivation to go further, as the money isn't yours to begin with and you'll be 100% okay to lose it.

Who doesn't like guaranteed prize? I doubt anyone would say no to guaranteed prize. But freerolls are mainly targeted for new users or learners. Otherwise you wouldn't find a lot of experienced players in freeroll games because it is not worth their experience and time.

However for a nube like me, I would almost always prefer freerolls because I will learn the game without lossing a dime. So the preference actually depends on an individual's level of expertise really!

It's like choosing apples to oranges really. Freerolls on Pokers are mostly limited to up to 5 tries and will almost always have lower odds of giving you wins than if you had just bet, on the other hand, Prize milestones are usually hard to reach the more you play since it would require you to step up a ladder after claiming the previous prize, and most of the time the prizes at the bottom of the ladder aren't worth the money you'll spend it on. It's all a matter of perspective but if I were to choose, I'd choose Freerolls since even if I don't win it's not going to take much toll on me, since I haven't spent money on it anyway.

When it comes to determination side then they would really vary or does have the difference and i wont really be consider to be entertaining if you cant really experience some thrill
or excitement towards your gameplay because nothing beats out when you do make use your own funds since you would really be serious on your gameplays
compared on freerolls which you dont have nothing to lose but its not bad for those who do start up on this kind of game where free does counts.

When I was trying to learn it I did freerolls, never have I won any of them. Millions are probably like me back years ago who are also tempted to deposit and lose more.
Good promotion for casinos but for someone to do it right now take a read to their TOS because just a few days ago there was someone who won with his freeroll or technically he comes into the poker room through the freeroll link and won but the TOS of the casino didn't allow him to withdraw the money. It took a bit of fighting thru the scam accusation.

[Darker45]

Poker is mostly about showcasing your skills and strategies against other players. Poker is all about a competition of who has the most brilliant techniques on the table. At least, I am talking about poker players who are already in the game for some time. So I probably would be more interested in guaranteed prize tournaments rather than free rolls.

But if you're trying to just get the hang of poker, then free rolls might be enticing to you.

So it probably depends on your level of poker confidence.

I disagree, I think that if you walk away with somsthing, it is worth the time. Deposit bonus aren't that huge so I don't think that it will help people, plus most of the time some deposit bonus require a specific amount to deposit before you can get the bonus. Free rolls are awild card for business because they are confident that no one is going to win but surprises happen and they get caught off guard and they get bitter that they didn't profit from that win.
