Current BetOnline Poker Freeroll Schedule

by Josh H | Owner and Editor-in-Chief

BetOnline Poker might not offer a huge schedule of weekly freerolls anymore but I’m still a huge fan of their free poker tournaments. They are few and far between nowadays, so I’d recommend taking advantage of BetOnline poker freerolls when you can.

Why do I rate them as the best of their kind?

	Frequency	Type	Time
$1,500 GTD Shootout	Daily	6-Max NLHE	12:45	Play Now

1. There are no gates for the un-deposited

They don’t gate off freerolls for those who have earned something like 8,349 Rank 79 Superstar Hyper VIP points since the last full moon.

That sort of dubious practice is now commonplace almost everywhere else. At BetOnline everyone with an account can enter every single one.

2. Much smaller fields than larger competitors

Freerolls also aren’t typically the best value play for an online poker site, but, hey, they’re throwing them out there to the tune of $800 a day.

The other key is that you’ll only be facing fields of 800-1,500 players in each tourney. That’s much smaller than their larger counterparts.

3. The prizes are simply bigger

The $1,500 open-to-all freerolls every day aren’t going shatter any records, but it’s a heck of a lot better than minuscule $10-only tourneys found elsewhere.

How to Play a Freeroll at BetOnline

Step 1

Visit the BetOnline website, sign up for an account, and download the poker software for either Windows or Mac.

Step 2

After installing the software, launch it and sign into your account. If you haven’t yet made an account, be sure to use one of the best promo codes for BetOnline. In the main lobby window click “Tournaments” and then “Freeroll” to show all upcoming free-entry tournaments.

Highlight any event that is in “Registering” status and click “Register” in the bottom-right corner.

Step 3

You’ll see this registration window pop up to confirm your entry and that there is no entry fee. Click “Register”.

Step 4

You’ll see this success message.

Step 5

When it’s time for the BetOnline freeroll to begin the tournament window will automatically open and you’ll take your place at the table. Enjoy! You can simultaneously play in as many freerolls as you want so check the lobby for others currently open for registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

✅ What are casino happy hour freerolls?

At Betonline, you can claim tickets into freerolls by completing missions – for example, by betting $10 on roulette.

✅ What is the Betonline Spooky Freeroll password?

Spooky freerolls are private events on Betonline that require a password to enter. You can use discussion boards to search for answers, or the operator will send you a marketing email with the required information to enter.

✅ Is there still a new depositor freeroll at BetOnline?

Sadly, the $5,000 new depositor free poker tournament is no longer on the Betonline poker schedule.

✅ How do I find freerolls at BetOnline Poker?

Simply visit the tournament lobby at BetOnline and use the filters. Deselect all of the events aside from freerolls and you’ll see which poker tournaments are completely free to enter on the site.

$1,500 Daily Freerolls

Currently, the only regularly scheduled freeroll available at BetOnline is the $1,500 GTD shootout. It is a 6-max NLHE event held nightly at 12:45am. Tickets can be earned by completing special missions.

$1,000 Casino Freerolls

Another Mission-based freeroll, the $1,000 Casino Freeroll is a ticketed event. Currently, you have to place $10 worth of bets on roulette, but the criteria changes from time to time. So, make sure you check your Missions often to find out how to earn your tickets into this freeroll.

BetOnline Freeroll Passwords

When you use the Freeroll filter in the tournament lobby, you’ll sometimes notice some unusual names – for example, the “Spooky Baseball Poker Freeroll”. These are events that require passwords to enter.

How do you get the password you ask? It’s likely that you’ll receive some kind of marketing email from BetOnline that lets you know what you need to do to get access to the password.

In other cases, these are simply private freerolls. Sometimes, you can search for the passwords for these online and find out what they are from Reddit or other poker discussion forums- but I wouldn’t recommend it. If you were explicitly invited, it’s best not to join a password-protected freeroll.

Former BetOnline Freerolls

BetOnline really was once the gold standard as an online poker freeroll provider. So, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the free poker tournaments that were once held at this poker room:

$5,000 New Player Freerolls

Although it took a deposit to enter this was one of the best private depositors freerolls going anywhere at the time.

One of the best private freerolls

The key was in the prize-to-field ratio, which was excellent.

Most New Player Freerolls didn’t exceed 250-300 players yet the free prize pool was a guaranteed $5,000.

That effectively made this a $16-20 buy-in tournament, which, of course, was free to enter for any new BetOnline depositor.

Once you made a deposit with BetOnline, you automatically received a ticket to the next $5,000 freeroll. You could view it in the ticket section of the cashier. What I liked that the poker room had done was not put an expiration or a specific date on the ticket. You could hang onto it and play whichever Sunday you’re available.

Euro Nooner Freerolls with $200-300 prizes

These were the showcase freerolls at BetOnline with, by far, the largest open-to-all prizes of the day.

Euro Nooner freerolls at BetOnline belonged to a separate category, although they were still basically regular freerolls. Everyone could register and play, and there were no restrictions.

The only real difference was the prize pool, as the earlier Nooner offered $200, and the later one offered $300 for the players to share.

As you could probably guess, there were rebuys and add-ons, as with all BetOnline freerolls, but despite a relatively big prize pool, the price was manageable: $0.50 and $0.45, respectively.

$100 BetOnline Poker Freerolls

Looking at this schedule of freerolls at BetOnline, you probably realized you could have played free tournaments around the clock. It would have been a serious grind, but there was nothing stopping you if you had enough free time on your hands.

$100 Freerolls ran twice a day and offered $100 prize pool distributed to the top 40 finishers.

A worthwhile grind for the bankroll-challenged

Like the $50 events, these attracted a lot of players battling it out for what was a significant first-place money for someone without a proper bankroll. However, rebuys cost $0.50 a pop, and playing on a single bullet could have been a bit tricky.

$50 Freerolls

Similar to $25 tournaments, these BetOnline freerolls were different in terms of the prize pool and distribution of prizes. The top 30 players got paid, and bigger prizes attracted even more players.

The winner in these freerolls took home $8, which was a decent start to building a bankroll.

Open to everyone Start times: every day at 3:10 P.M., 10:10 P.M., 8:10 A.M. Prize pool: $50, distributed to top 30 players ($8 for the winner) Fields: 1,200+ players Rebuys/add-on: $0.25 Register Now

$25 Freerolls with traditional blinds

Similar to Turbo events, these $25 freerolls featured a slower structure with 10-minute levels (as opposed to 6). This left more room for play but also meant they took longer to complete, so the choice was up to you entirely.

Larger prize pools and more competitors

These events were also open to everyone and paid 20 players in total, which was fine, since the prize pool was also larger. Not surprisingly, the interest for these events was larger than for the $10 ones, so you would have needed to grind it hard if you wanted to start your BetOnline poker bankroll without risking your own money.

You’ll want to hit the Nooner and $100 freerolls first, but with so many $10 ones throughout the day you might as well open them as a second (or third) table.

$10 BetOnline Turbo Freerolls

You’d have wanted to hit the Nooner and $100 freerolls first, but with so many $10 ones throughout the day, you might as well have opened them as a second (or third) table.

Although they offered the smallest prize pool, the $10 Turbo Freerolls represented a nice way to grind out some real money, given they ran regularly so many times a day.

Only the final 10 players got paid, so regardless of how big the field was, the winner would have gotten $3, and everyone making money would have received at least $0.50 for their efforts.

This was better than watering the prize pool down to fractions of a cent, as at least with $0.50, you could have tried to play for real cash.

Some of the busiest freerolls on the site

The downside of these events was they were open to everyone, and fields were often close to 1,000 players. Also, unlimited rebuys were allowed for $0.05 apiece, and there was an add-on after the first hour of play (5000 chips for $0.05).

This gave a significant advantage to those who had at least some funds in their BetOnline accounts but felt somewhat pointless when the prizes were already so low.

Although they offered the smallest prize pool, the $10 Turbo Freerolls represented a nice way to grind out some real money, given they ran regularly so many times a day.
