And as well as being the biggest site, it has the biggest freerolls and the widest selection of freeroll games anywhere. Among the current most popular are Hubble's No Limit Texas Holdem freeroll where the top 27 players go on to play in a $1000 prize pool tournament. There are 10,000 places available for each of these games and they are always full, such is the current popularity of Poker Stars.
But one of the best things about Poker Stars is their Turbo Sit 'n Go tournaments. They're Fast, fun, always available and best of all, easy to profit from. I hadn't played for a while so I had a go yesterday to see what the standard was, here's what happened:
I covered the name to protect my modesty but it's very easy. The whole thing took just over half an hour - compare that to four hours at a 200 player freeroll to win the same amount of money.
It really is a great alternative to freerolls so why not give it a try?
Play freerolls or turn $6 into $27, your choice at Poker Stars

Poker Time is still accepting US customers (I know this because I phoned their support and a very nice man called Craig told me!) and they have a great freeroll-based tournament coming up that could see you take down a share of $6,000.
The tournament is called the World Wide Smackdown Tournament and it has eight countries taking part. You can represent either USA, UK, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Australia or, for everybody else, the Rest of the World.
The final of the competition takes place on May 7th 2007 and it has a brilliant prize pool of $6,000. There are two ways that you can qualify:
Firstly there's the Weekly Freeroll starting on April 4th in which each of the countries has four weekly Freerolls that you can join. The top five players from each Freeroll qualify for the final.
Secondly each participating country has their own World Wide Smackdown Tournament leader board where the top 20 players from each country at the end of April qualify for the Final. To get to the leader board all you need to do is collect poker points through playing poker at the regular tables.
You need to get registered NOW so that you can get the secret password sent to you by email that will let you know how to enter your countries weekly tournaments.

LAST CALL FOR VEGAS FREEROLL!!!!!
Canbet is a site that's growing in size and player numbers all the time. I had a look on Friday night and was surprised to see over 20,000 players at the tables so there's no long waiting times for a game. I signed up for a freeroll that was about to start and although the prize money was only $25, there were only 100 players registered out of 2000 available places with less than half an hour to go till the start of the game. Not bad odds!
Note that this site isn't available to US players.
