Important notice about PokerRoom.com

To ensure PokerListings players receive the best playing experience possible, we recommend signing up and playing at the bwin poker site instead of PokerRoom.com.

Tournaments
PokerRoom hosts lots of tournaments with buy-ins as small as a couple of dollars up to a few hundred dollars. The tournaments are well populated and fast with skillful players. Play at any level is decent, and the major satellites and tournaments are downright hard at the later stages.
PokerRoom also runs small and medium-sized guaranteed tournaments daily. The weekly $25,000 and $50,000 tournaments draw a large number of players as well as the many qualifiers to big live and online poker events like the World Series of Poker or the World Poker Tour. The biggest guaranteed tournaments are the $40,000 and $50,000 events that run all week.
Freerolls
PokerRoom runs relatively few completely free tournaments. However, the freerolls it does run are well visited and play is on the tougher side.
The tournaments are often large multi-table events, usually in Limit or No-Limit Texas Hold'em, and typically award relatively small prizes. There are occasionally freerolls with larger prize pools as part of bigger promotions or as invitational tournaments.
