Freerolls:

PokerStars regularly runs freerolls where players can win real money without paying anything. Usually freerolls are satellites to bigger events or bigger freerolls, and FPP freerolls where the player can buy-in with points earned at the tables. The best freerolls, however, are usually exclusive to loyal players who accumulate lots of FPPs. PokerStars run quite a few bigger freerolls as well, with prize pools reaching as high as $10,000.
