Players sometimes need a reprieve from the pressure of winning real money games because these require an investment - not only of money but of different responsibilities during a game. Bet365 Poker offers a couple free play options that may help players ease up on their bankroll or have a different poker gaming experience. Enjoying poker comes in lots of forms - including free poker at Bet365. Free play is especially helpful for beginners who are learning poker. This helps them learn more before risking a lot of money.

Free Play Option 1: Play Money

Play money games function just like their real money equivalents but without the literal cash investment. At Bet365, many of the game variations such as Texas Hold'em and Stud poker are found in play money versions as well as real cash versions. Some play money tournaments are also available. These have buy-ins in play money chips rather than cash.

On the lefthand side of the poker lobby, players can choose the Play Money tab under the Choose Game option to view a list of free play games. Players select a free play game and use their account play money to wager chips in the play money games at real-money stakes equivalents. When a player runs out of chips, clicking on My Account takes players to a page where they can click the button to Reset Play Money. This returns a full complement of 1000 free chips to a player's account for more play money game action.

Free Play Option 2: Freerolls

There are not a lot of freerolls at Bet365 Poker, but a few options are better than none. Freerolls offer players the chance to enter a real cash prize tournament or one with a cash equivalent, like a satellite, in which prizes consist of entries to other larger prize events. Freerolls don't require players to pay any entry fee for the tournament, so they can enter for free and hope to build a bankroll with the prize money.

There are five major freerolls at Bet365 Poker that offer players a chance to earn free merit points or cash prizes, depending on which freeroll a player is eligible to play in. These are:

• 100,000 Merit Point New Depositor Freeroll: 100,000 merit points prize pool and monthly freeroll entry
• Monthly New Depositor Freeroll: $2000 cash prize pool
• Beginner Freerolls: daily offerings to help train beginners in tournament poker
• Casino Games Freeroll: $1500 prize pool for staking $25 in promoted poker lobby casino games
• €500 Freeroll: Euro and GPB cash players qualify with weekly cash game participation

Tips For Free Play at Bet365

Using the play money tables and tournaments is a great way for a new player to get more experience either with online poker and the features at Bet365, or with the game of poker in general. Once a player has established a good routine at the play money tables, they will likely want to invest in real money play and hope for significant earnings from real money cash tables or prize tournaments. In the meantime, or while preparing to transition from play money to real money tables, players may do well to keep in mind the following tips about free money play.

1. Spend as long as you want or need to enjoy playing poker for free. Move to real money games if and when you are comfortable doing so.
2. Play money games don't cost anything. Budget carefully and set limits when starting to play in real money games so as to not blow your bankroll right away.
3. Player strategy in free play games is not usually as precise as in real money games. Keep practicing solid poker strategy yourself, regardless of how your play money opponents act.
4. Use a solid poker strategy when moving to real money tables.
5. When transitioning from play money to real money games, start at lower limit, lower stakes tables to adapt to real money player styles and game intensity.
6. Only move up to higher stakes after consistently winning at the lower stakes tables.

Utilizing smart free play can set up new players to do very well in real money poker games. It also saves a great deal of cash while still allowing for the enjoyment of poker in times when real money is less available to dedicate to poker play. Playing for free at Bet365 has its advantages. Though it is a limited option with access to only some games and tournament variations, enough of the standard games are available to satisfy a player's poker cravings. Additionally, getting familiar with the software features translates well if a player later moves into real money play.
