holiday or appreciation freeroll?????

hello everyone. got a lil something on my mind so i figured id post. i saw alot of ppl talking about the 250$ thanksgiving freerolls on the merge network. plus they have the 4 or 5 daily freerolls to help build bankrolls. they also have a few other promotional freerolls throughout the year. other sites do the same. some of the freerolls are there to help build a bankroll. some are there for promotional purposes. whatever the reason they are available.

now mr zab. you offer 5 daily freerolls on the merge network. 1 on juicy stakes. and a couple on stars for the lucky foreigners. the thing is, they are not really free. we gotta pay an entry fee to play them. 20-150 pts per game. most ppl dont pay money to play these, but some do. purchasing points at outrageous rates through trial pay, matomy, or super rewards. i guess my point to this part is we enter these "freerolls" by earning points. earning those points cost us our time or debit cards and at same times makes you a little money.

on to the request now. thanksgiving is approaching in a couple days. then a month later christmas. i think we at pokerowned could use a totally free 250-500 freeroll as a ty for helping you make a living, or a ty for building my site and helping continue to make it grow.

just an idea but i think it should be considered.




thanks for listening
tommy

Good idea! I am going to copy and paste this to my local best buy and see if it works :)

J\K.. but ya, I am not at the stage yet of being able to do this, but I'd like to..

like i said its just an idea sir. this site does give us plenty of opportunity to build a bankroll. we do not HAVE to purchase the points if we choose not to but sometimes points are not easily earned so we take the option.

You never have to purchase the points.

Thats true. I never purchased a single point and my current balance not too bad (>10k). And the options for earning points for Europeans are not that good as for US people

I love the idea, its a onetime thing. You can make it like a 500point entry but atleast there would be a nice freeroll to help us

the point is for it to be an actual freeroll. no entry fee. this place has freerolls already but they are not free. they cost points.

actually should be a freeroll for members who have been here 3 months or more and who participate daily

So if you earn points to play in a freeroll, how much money did it cost you? $0.00 but it cost you points.. Was it free or wasn't it?

Were those daily loyalty tournaments free?
Are the monthly $50 WSOPokerowned free?
Were the daily x2 200 pts Freerolls free? (That no one played in)

is our time not worth money? is your time not worth money? im not trying to start an argument here. seems thats whats happening. its an idea and and a totally free game for members. why does that have to be difficult?

no some do not pay for points. i agree. but some spend 4-5 hours a day earning those points. basically their time is worthless?

And for that there are well over $100 available daily in the freerolls...( I think $175) I don't know any forum that offers more than that.
not to mention the promos

pooffy do you see the problem here? when i see the term freeroll used i think cool, i can play for FREE. not the case here. if i pay points to enter it is not FREE. you guys really just like to argue round here dont you.

if im not earning points making someone money i should just shut up apparently

glad my idea sparked an argument

I am not arguing, I am merely stating that Zab gives arouind $175 daily already in the freerolls.
you are making it seem there are no benefits for your hard work.

no zab offers 175$ in daily tourneys. not one of them are free at all. they may not be hard to enter but they are definitely not free

So when you see a freeoll at a site, let's say Full Tilt Poker back in the day.. Is it truly free? Didn't you have to do something for it? Didn't you have to download & install the software. Didn't you have to login, didn't you have to find and enter the freeroll.

Many of the current "FreeRolls" I see listed in the lobby you have to do 'something' for. Do XYZ get access to this freeroll, rake over $100 at some site, get access to a freeroll.

really is downloading a site and entering the same as coming here and spending 2 hours or more answering questing for a survey that may or may not convert??????

sorry to repeat myself... but i havent spent a dime on this site...

but ima donk wEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee~

I find threads like this frustrating. The OP should start his own site, bust his own ass for a couple of years, then come back here and tell us how he feels when someone tells him how he should GIVE AWAY HIS HARD EARNED MONEY!

Sorry Tommy, you are Waaaayyyyy offside here. I hope you play a mean pinball.

Then go where they are free by your terms. You know and agree to the terms of this site the very first time you sign in. Complaining about them like this is just bad form.

I think WE should show Zab our appreciation by allowing him to shut the site completely down for a day so he can have a LONG overdue 1 day vacation.

tommy sometimes you make valid points other times....not so much this is one of those othertimes if it wasnt for the points there would be no tourney at all

secondly i like most others on the site havent spent anything to get points

thirdly zab never actually said no to the idea...more a "not right now" kinda deal so just leave it at that and stop arguing that there not "free" when they clearly are

hah this.. I was just talking to someone the other day, I have been on this site updating \ answering msgs \ support for over 700 days straight! hehe

lotta action for a meaningless thread about free stuff .. He could add a bonus to the pot with certain amount of plrs but 200 pts entry or whatever is little work... whatever

I agree with you MichMan but I say hell with a day how about a week. Zab deserves a vacation with all the great things he does.
