Ok I finally found a site that gives me money to join up, this is great because if I build it up I will just keep going for higher levels, so what if I bust out it didn't cost me anything to begin with. It came through tonite, they gave me £6. I built it up immediately to £6.33. I aim to build it to £1M within 10 years, but I need some encouragement. If I make it I will buy anyone who supported me a free drink.

On a more serious point, what do you think of this kind of promotion? Is the scene so competitive now? Do they just know that most people who take the offer will lose the cash in no time and have to reload anyway?

Help me out I feel I can do this only with support.

hello thank you you get the first free drink

I sat down at $0.10/$0.20 no limit is this too high? I suppose I had 55 big blinds is that too small?

I was inspired by Jesus. Mr Ferguson himelf did this $1 to $10K or something but he is very good I understand.

Free money, punt it.

Nowt to a cheeky mill in 10 years is great, but at 1c/2c you'll spend the first two years getting to £100.

Punt it, what's the worse that could happen. 10c/20c sounds about right. If you double a couple of times, move higher.

1/2c took me a couple of weeks putiing in a couple of hours a day to get to 100$ that i needed to move it to neteller

if you punt it you could lose it all in 1 bad beat slowly slowly catches monkey (not matt)

If you punt it you could lose it a fiver, but if you grind it you could lose a month.

but if you have no way of replacing that fiver online you lose your whole bankroll

there are as many no strings attached freerolls as there used to be

if i lose my whole roll online i wont be able to refill like most as i dont use my own money to play poker

i havent put a penny online or withdrawn anything

If you make it to 1 mil in 10 years, you will have enough for a packet of fags and a gallon of petrol.

Ok everyone gets a free sip of my beer in 10 years time lol.

Not wanting to bore anyone with a blow by blow account of my progress, it would be fun if some others tried this out and we see how we all get on together. In that case I'll spill the beans, I don't like spamming the site otherwise with offsite promotions. Its vcpoker dot com and you need to sign up to a cash account and put in the promotion code freecash but you do not need to submit your credit card details at that point, only later when you withdraw the million.

It will be nice to see how others get on, its one thing to have ten grand sitting to play about with, another scrapin it all together from a site's free handout.

I think you'll find that when it comes to completely free money people appreciate you posting it more often than not Smiley

I encourage folk to treat these bonuses as they should be treated, punt them mercilessly and quickly till you either go bust or have 50x the free money. (enough to be worth going through the rigamorle of cashing out when you haven't actually made a deposit)

I'll treat $25 completely free from a poker room the same I would from an online casino. Punt it, punt it, punt it.

They are gambling that you gets somehow hooked on their service while you do. More fools them, you can dodge it by gambling with your eyes shut and signing lalalalala.

Did you get your money, boldie?
I managed to build up to $52, so am out of $0.1-$0.2 land. Took some readjusting to the kind of play you find there.

Am blogging it here: http://youcalledwiththat.blogspot.com/

Just another $999948 to go Smiley
