Victor Chandler Poker is a site that might be new to you, but it's gaining a lot of popularity and is a well trafficked site.
There's good news and there's bad news about Victor Chandler Poker. The bad news is that the freerolls aren't entirely free in the pure sense of the word, you need some player points (called Action Points) to enter them.
The good news however is that if you are a real money player at Victor Chandler Poker you will gain these Action Points very easily. Here's what VC says about how to get your Action Points:
"For every $1 you spend in tournament fees, you will immediately receive 100 Action Points (not including re-buy fees)."
The $100 speed freerolls are fast and furious and only cost 400 Action Points to enter, so just by entering tournaments to the value of $4 you will be able to get in to the freeroll. There are loads of daily freerolls available (more good news) and they seem to only be about half full (even MORE good news!).
There's also a 25% bonus on offer on your first real money deposit.

PokerChamps has decided to close it's doors to players from USA. The site, which Gus Hansen is a leading light in, is based in Europe and
because of legislation issues it has decided to exclude US residents. Here's what they say:-
"As part of the recent upgrade, PokerChamps has performed a system
change that begins the process of moving to a new platform. We have also
incorporated geo-location software which enables us to implement a long
standing and consistent Group Company policy of not permitting access to
individuals in the United States. Affected individuals have until tomorrow
21st July 2006 at 12pm EST/5pm BST to withdraw funds after which time
accounts will be locked and funds returned by arrangement with our
customer service team."
The
good news for non-US players is that PokerChamps might give you a
better chance of winning. There are concerns about legislation
affecting the whole poker industry in America, but I believe it's
too much of a juggernaut to control. Most of the big poker rooms
are based offshore and don't fall under US law. I think the
biggest gripe USA has is in that it's not colecting taxes from
the poker operations.
