To me, freerolls are for practicing and becoming more experienced in the game. But it is always an added advantage when one wins some cash from freeroll, but my major focus is to enhance my gameplay and strategy.

Freerolls should be seen mainly as a bankroll builder - it’s a tool that lets you make money on a poker site without ever depositing.

That means that once you earned money in a freeroll you should use it for buy in in cash games or tournaments.

I personally never deposited a single dollar into any poker site and pulled hundreds. I also met personalities online who showed that they pulled over thousand of dollars in profit from a site without ever depositing. All thanks to free rolls allowing us to earn that initial buy-in without any investment.

I play freerolls to hone my skills. And it had really helped me to master some poker concepts when I started out. If the money comes, it is cool and a little bit extra advantage gained. I have only won with freerolls just once. It is nothing bad if pro poker players use it to make money. Benefits of being pro that is.

I play freerolls mainly to practice my skills without risking money. The prize pools are usually small anyway, so it's more about learning tournament strategy and getting comfortable with different situations. Plus they're good for building a bankroll from nothing when you're starting out.
