At FreeOnlinePokerFourm.com we focus on free online poker bankrolls and news.
There is a lot happening in this are of the online poker world, and many players are surprised when they first discover the amount of real free money that is available to online poker players.
Have a look around the site and see if there are any free bonuses that might suit you. If you find one that you like, be sure to check that there are not any updates posted about it here.
The free poker bonus that has been available from Pitbull Poker for over three years has finally ended with the sudden closing of this small flash poker room.
Available since 2006, Pitbull Poker gave all their new players $10 for free when they signed up for a new account. This was probably the longest running free poker bonus offer that we have seen on the internet.
The reasons for the closure of this small room have nothing to do with the free bonus deal as far as we are aware. The closure was most likely precipitated by the bad publicity that the site was getting on the 2+2 forum, the largest online poker forum.
And that bad press was related to suspicions of dodgy dealings at the Costa Rica based poker site.
While what may or may not have gone on with this poker room is of concern in the online poker world, on this site we try to concentrate on free online poker related stories so we are only concerned with the loss of this small but reliable bonus deal.
One of the recently popular online poker sites for free poker games seems to be Full Tilt Poker. This may have something to do with their aggressive TV advertising campaign that is currently being run in the UK.
We would have to advise against signing up at FullTilt poker is you are only intending to play the free play games. The reason for that is that once you have signed up as a free play player you will not be able to claim any of the free bankroll deals that are available from some internet poker portals that specialize in this type of bonus.
One good free bankroll offer is available from the site at PokerSource. If you qualify for this free Full Tilt bonus, you will be given $50 for free into your Full Tilt Poker account. Only players that do not already have an account at Full Tilt will be able to qualify for this bonus, so bear that in mind before signing up.
The original 50DOL free bankroll deal from Poker770 has now been much reduced.
Originally, this deal included $7.70 free cash no deposit required, plus another $43 worth of tournament tokens.
Now, the free tournament tokens have been removed from the offer, but new sign ups will still get the $7.70 free cash bonus.
The details of the original bonus are in this post, if you are interested.
PokerNetOnline have a free poker bankroll deal available at Titan Poker. With $50 up front for free and a further $100 when you reach the required player points this free bankroll is pretty good.
When you add in the fact that there is no poker quiz or other qualification criteria – just sign up and get the bonus if you are eligible – then this bankroll bonus is probably one of the easiest to get.
Open an account at PokerNetOnline and follow the instructions carefully. Be sure to take your time when reading the instructions and get the procedure right.
The free money site at PokerProfessor has now closed down and their free money bonus is obviously no longer available.
The site now redirects to PokerRoomSchool.
The PokerProfessor offer was not overly popular anyway as there was a poker quiz involved in the qualification process and it seems that some players found this too difficult, or at least too much trouble.
I would have to wonder why any one that wants to get $50 for free hasn’t got the time and/or inclination to make a bit of an effort in order to get it. Either way, that particular offer is no longer available.
That headline may be ambiguous, but most poker players will know that what we mean is that Doyles Room no longer accepts players from America. This move follows closely on the ruling from Kentucky which puts gambling websites ownership in jeopardy.
And the significance of this to a site like FreeOnlinePokerForum.com? Well, the free poker bankroll from PokerSource.com that was Doyles Room and was open only to players from the USA and Canada is now no longer available to Americans. So it is strictly only for Canadians.
So that’s the bad news. The good news is that the guys at PokerSource.com have lots of other free poker bankroll offers available to players from all over the world!
Currently, even after the departure of Doyles Room, they still have free bankrolls available to American players at UltimateBet and Absolute Poker. And of course, as PokerSource.com is the biggest online provider of free bankrolls, they have many other offers available to players from other countries too.

Most, if not all, online poker rooms offer a free play version of online poker, which is sometimes referred to as free poker.
And, yes, it is free poker, in that you will not be required to make a deposit in order to play.
So all you have to do is sign up and you will be given a set number of free play chips, usually around 1000.
So, that is fairly straight forward – complete the quick sign up process, get your free chips, sit down at any free play poker table and start playing.
If you lose all your chips you can usually receive more within a short time.
Although lately some poker sites have been putting restrictions on giving out more free poker chips, though this is usually only a few hours or a day at most.
The reason for this is so that the free players will take the game more seriously than they seem to at the moment.
So, take your chips seriously, play the game properly and you can amass a large pile of free chips.
Great, so now you have a large stack of free chips which are worth precisely nothing.
But that isn’t the point.
Playing online poker with free chips can be great fun. Some poker players like to play on the ‘free poker’ tables and never progress to the real cash games. That is absolutely fine, and in that case the so called free money tables are great. They can be a great source of fun and entertainment without costing a single penny.
First thing first, we need to define what we mean when we say ‘free’ poker.
A lot of poker sites, both poker rooms and other online poker portals, say that they have ‘free’ poker bonuses and ‘free’ poker cash, but in reality these are just ordinary poker bonuses, with nothing really free about them.
Now we are not saying that these bonuses are no good. They are certainly worth looking at and capitalizing on. A clever poker player can use these deposit bonus deals to build up a substantial online bankroll, often reaching to thousands of dollars.
But we are not talking about those poker bonuses here, because in order to take advantage of those bonuses players will need to make a deposit. And in order to make the most of those bonus deals you should really be in a position to make the largest deposit allowable.
But that is a whole nuther story.
Some poker players are referring to the ‘play money’ games offered by most online poker rooms when they say ‘free’ online poker.
Well, we don’t mean that kind of free poker here either, but we do discuss it a bit further here – Fake Poker Money if you would like to know more.
NO, what we are talking about here are real free poker deals – deals where the player does not have to make a deposit in order to get the free poker cash.
This is real free online poker as far as we are concerned. You get the money, you don’t have to pay. Simple. Anything else is not really free is it?
UPDATE: This offer is no longer available. See this post PokerProfessor Closes Down for more details.
Titan Poker seems to be the most popular online poker room for these free poker money promotions. This latest in a long list of free bonuses at Titan Poker is from a recently launched poker site called PokerProfessor.com.
Simply visit the PokerProfessor site and sign up for a new account. Then read some of the strategy articles, and maybe have a look at some of the poker coaching videos. You should then be able to pass a relatively simple quiz on the basics of online poker. You will need to pass the quiz in order to get the initial bankroll of $50 free.
After you have played some online poker and earned some player points at the Titan Poker tables you will have an opportunity to take a slightly more advanced poker quiz, and should you pass this one, you get another fifty dollars for free. The final fifty dollars of this one hundred and fifty dollar bonus will be released into your Titan Poker account after you have earned enough player points.
Players from America may NOT avail of this offer (sorry). Other countries excluded from taking up this offer are; ISRAEL, ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA, NETHERLANDS ANTILLES, ESTONIA, CYPRUS, KAHNAWAKE, BULGARIA, HONG KONG, CHINA, THE PHILIPPINES AND TURKEY.
Poker770.com have now extended their free $50 no deposit promotion. Originally it was supposed to run only until the end of September 2007, but now they have removed the deadline by at least a couple of months and it should run until the early new year.
Click the link for Poker770 and open an account with them, then send an email to promo@poker770.com with the details of your newly opened account and include the bonus code 50DOL. It’s as simple as that. Your bonus should be upgraded now from the standard $7.70 free to a total of $50 free. This no deposit bonus includes tournament tokens, and not simply cash like other bonuses of this kind.
Poker770 is on the Playtech poker network. Unfortunately that means that players from the US cannot claim the bonus.
