How the Tournament Works

  1. 1.
    Sign up for free. You get 50,000 chips just for creating an account. No credit card, no purchase required.
  2. 2.
    Play blackjack or hold. Use your chips to play blackjack (bet any amount from 1,000 up to your full stack). Or just hold and collect 10,000 free chips every day.
  3. 3.
    Rounds last 3 days. At the end of each round, the players with the most chips advance to the next round. Chips reset to 50,000 at the start of each new round — everyone starts fresh.
  4. 4.
    Win $50,000. The winner of the final round takes home $50,000 cash. The prize pool is funded by rebuys and donations (50% of every dollar).

Blackjack Rules

  • • Standard blackjack: get closer to 21 than the dealer without busting
  • • Dealer stands on all 17s (including soft 17)
  • • Blackjack (21 on first two cards) pays 3:2 — you win 1.5x your bet
  • • Win pays 1:1. Push (tie) returns your bet. Loss forfeits your bet
  • • You can Hit, Stand, or Double Down on your first two cards
  • • Double Down: doubles your bet, draws one card, then dealer plays
  • • Minimum bet: 1,000 chips. Maximum bet: your full chip balance
  • • Cards are shuffled using a provably fair algorithm (seed-based PRNG)

Rebuys & Donations

Rebuys are completely optional. You can play the entire tournament without ever spending money.

Standard Rebuy — $10

Get 100,000 chips instantly. Unlimited rebuys per round. $5 goes to charity, $5 goes to the prize pool.

Custom Rebuy — Your Choice

Choose any amount. You get 10,000 chips per $1 spent. 50% to charity, 50% to the prize pool.

All rebuys and donations are processed securely via Stripe. 50% of every dollar goes to a featured charity (tax-deductible). 50% funds the prize pool.

Legal Disclaimer

No Purchase Necessary. Freeroll is a free-to-play charity tournament. No purchase or payment of any kind is necessary to enter, play, or win. Free entry, free daily chips, and free daily votes are available to all participants.

Not Gambling. Freeroll uses virtual chips, not real money. The blackjack mini-game is played for entertainment with virtual currency. The $50,000 grand prize is a sweepstakes prize awarded by the sponsor, not a gambling payout. Rebuys and donations are optional contributions that grant bonus virtual chips — they are not wagers or bets.

Sweepstakes Structure. This is a skill-based charity tournament, not a game of chance for money. Entry is free. The prize is fixed. Rebuys and donations do not increase the odds of winning — they provide virtual chips that may be gained or lost through gameplay, but the prize is awarded to the player with the highest chip balance, not through random draw.

Eligibility. Open to legal residents of the United States, 18 years or older at time of entry. Void where prohibited by law. Employees, officers, and contractors of Freeroll and their immediate families are not eligible.

Odds. Odds of winning depend on the number of participants and their chip balances at the end of each round. Skill at the blackjack mini-game and social voting activity (free daily votes from supporters) both affect chip totals.

Tax. Winners are responsible for any applicable taxes on prizes. Donations to charity are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Sponsor. Freeroll is sponsored by Freeroll Inc. (or applicable entity). For full official rules, write to the sponsor. For questions, contact support.

Disclaimer. Success at this game does not imply success at real money gambling. This game includes optional in-app purchases (rebuys and donations). Chips have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for money or prizes.
