hi i would love to know that if you are interested in poker that there are free bankroll builders that are giving money away for you to play a certain amount and a specific kinda way and theres sites that will do that for you and what i would like to tell you is to give it a try and play with real money but you have to read the terms and rules carefully; so what im asking is "What is the catch?
do you owe them money?

Well, the catch is read the fine print. In order to qualify for majority of these poker bonuses you have to play in so many hands or earn a specific number of points. And most of the sites I've seen their formula average out to $20-60 per $1 you earn. Meaning that when you earn back one of your dollars you've helped them make $20-60.
Its really difficult to completely cash in on these bonuses because they also typically have a time limit on when you can earn back this money. Normally, 30-90 days, depending on the site.
Can you make money? Yes. Is it likely? No, unless you play very tight and are a good player its very unlikely since you have to gamble with your own money til you've earned the bonuses. Good luck and I hope this helps.

I've played on several sites in the past my best experience was on Bodog. They have a good staff that are all very helpful and the bonus redemption is much more attainable.
Other sites were much too difficult to use, so I took out my money after realizing it. Just make sure you read the "How to earn your bonus" or such section for each site before wasting your time.

All sites have this rule , on first deposit you will get a bonus if you make points , but not this is the real money :)) , that bonus is hard to get it , i get the entire bonus , but at the end i lost 200$ and my bonus was 150$ so is very hard to get that bonus . I give you an advice if you don't have money play free rolls and if you win you can play real money but i prefer small buy in tournaments with many online players , is hard to get money but if you have a good day and your cards are lucky you can win real money for ex the buy in is 1$ and there are 10 000 players first place win aproximatly 1500$ so those are money .
Hope I helped you in a way

On free rolls are many newbies and there is not poker , check , bet, raise, all in 8 from 9 players , at every hand 3 players are all in with A 8 , 7 9 ,even 9 3 , so if you want to make money play tournaments that have low buy in there are not so many "donkeys" .

Yes that's how those bankroll builders work... I found a pretty nice freeroll where you actually gain some $$$$ instead of having to put 10$ in order to receive 1$.
I shouldn't share this information with you because the less people will know the bigger chance to win the money is but here it is:
http://www.rakebackinn.com/menu/promotions
It's called loose change freeroll, it's weekly and the price pool is $5000
The way it works is that when you put at least 0.01$ you are allowed to join this freeroll. Most of the time there will be 500-600 players so you getting 10$ for free for 0.01$ investment. And considering that this freeroll runs 4 times per month. You are making 40$+ per month from this freeroll.
I think it's a great way to start playing online poker ;)
See you at the final table
