Freeroll Poker Tournaments: Bodog's 300 PTS Freeroll Schedule

by Bodog Poker | Oct 16 2009

Bodog likes to consider every player when they create promotions for the poker room. Most poker rooms offer deals that high stakes players can take advantage of, but rarely offer any good bonus action to the low stakes and busted players. But Bodog offers those players numerous opportunities every day to get their bankroll going again with various freeroll tournaments. There's nothing like getting back in the game without having to deposit any money. Besides the twice daily $500 Anniversary Freerolls, Bodog also offers low stakes and busted players extra chances to get their bankroll growing with their $300 30 PTS Freerolls.

Every player in the Bodog poker room earns player points as they play. If they play cash games, points are earned based on the size of the pots. In sit and go and tournament action, players earn points based on the size of the buy-in that they pay to enter the tourney. Points can be earned quickly and it doesn't take a lot of play to collect 30 PTS. These points can get anyone into the freeroll where they can win a $72 first-place prize. That's enough to get anyone back into the real money action.

Payouts for the $300 30 PTS Freerolls are distributed to the top finishers according to the prescribed payout schedule that is displayed in the tournament lobby. The second-place finisher gets $45, and third wins $27. The fields in these freerolls are smaller than the average freeroll, usually with less than 1000 players entered. Some are much smaller, so players don't have to spend so long chasing a freeroll payout like they do on other sites with as many as 10K entrants.

The tournaments are played daily at 10:40pm ET so players from across North America can all play during hours where people with jobs will be home from work, and most of their day is complete. Some poker sites host their freerolls at ridiculous hours, causing many players to miss them, and in many cases, causing the cancellation of the tournament. Bodog makes sure that the freeroll money is as available to their players as possible.

Winners get real money prizes that can be used in any action that the players want to use it in. They can play other tournaments, use it in a cash game, or even cash it out if they want. A lot of other freerolls you'll encounter online only award the top finishers with tournament dollars which have to be used in other scheduled events. Bodog wants their winners to have freedom to play the action they want to play, even if it's in the sportsbook or the casino. So try your luck in the 30 PTS Freerolls, you could pad your bankroll without having to risk a dime of your own money
