The Weekly Three: Reasons To Try Before You Deposit

There are people that are still a little skeptical about the concept of a free poker bankroll, instead of simply depositing or playing on a site that doesn't offer free poker bankrolls; here's our three reasons why we think the trial run with real money is the better deal.

3) The "feeling out" phase. If this is the first time you've played online poker, you may not have an idea of what you can get out of a poker site. By having multiple free bankrolls, you can play real money poker on a multitude of sites and get a much better idea about what you can and can't do with online poker, and what sites can offer you the best ways to play that fit in with your style.

2) Poker sites vary wildly. Whether you expect it or not, you may download a client that brags about having insane cash games and find nothing that suits your interest on it. Or, you may like a particular branch of poker, like Limit Hold'em, and find a site with lots of limit games when you're browsing around, then suddenly no games once you deposit. A free bankroll gives you the time needed to try out and discover a client without having to pay for the privilege.

1) It's free money. Simply put, these sites are giving you free money whether you win or lose to try the site out. If you win, yes, you'll likely have to deposit to get the money out, but if you were going to deposit on another site anyway, what's the difference? That site that offers a 500% deposit bonus of up to $2,000 may sound enticing, but you have to earn the entire bonus out in a probably short period of time. You're not given anything free off the bat, like you are with a free poker bankroll.
