Get Poker Rewards and Play Free Online Poker for Real
by Bodog Poker | Jan 14 2010
If you gamble with any frequency you understand that getting an edge is the most important thing you can do. Most edges in poker are based on one's skill level vs. the playing field, but there are a few other ways to gain an edge over some tournament action.
One way is to utilize your rewards for free tournament action.
Every
poker room offers
freerolls, and players also have the option of using their frequent player points as cash to buy into events. The player has no financial risk, yet has a chance to win real money.
Many players use these events to get a
bankroll started. Chris Ferguson managed to win over 10K just playing freerolls and low-stakes events to show the poker world that there is a definite level of skill involved in playing the game, and that a skilled player can beat the game if they have the time.
Bodog offers a wide array of
poker tournaments that will either be free to play or will require some of your reward points to enter. (You can play for thousands of dollars, too!)
Bodog Points Tournaments range in price from the 30-point $300 freeroll to the 750-point $100k guaranteed qualifiers. The freeroll events are run daily at 10:40am ET and will pay out the $300 prize pool based on the payout schedule located in the tournament lobby.
Entrant numbers are limited, so get yourself registered early on before the field starts to fill up. These events are the ones that can get you back in the game if your luck runs bad long enough for you to bust out. It's happened to the best of players, and for most more than once.
You can qualify for two big events through
Bodog points tournaments. Both the $10K and $100 Guaranteed events have points qualifiers that can win you a seat in the big tournament. The $100K guaranteed costs 750 points to enter while the $10K qualifiers cost 500 points. The $100K guaranteed qualifiers run on Sunday afternoons at 12:20pm ET and then again at 2:20pm ET. Just before the big event later in the afternoon. One player for every 20 entered will win T$162 that can be used to buy into the Sunday
$100K Guaranteed tournament.
The $10K qualifiers will run daily at 9:15am, 10:15am, and 11:15am ET. One player for every 15 entered in the tournament will win T$109 to be used to buy into the $10K Guaranteed at 2pm ET on Sundays.
So don't let all the free action pass you by. It's not often that you get a chance to win something without having to risk anything of your own. Try your luck in these tournaments; you don't have anything to lose.
