Archive for the ‘How To Have Fun At NoPayPOKER’ Category
All of us who play here at NoPayPOKER for any length of time understand just how addictive this site is, how we try to log in at least for a short time everyday, how we panic if we are unable to because out net is down and how even players that leave us for a while are drawn back to us time and again.
As you know, the free online poker games at No Pay Poker are a powerful way to improve your poker game as well as winning some money at the same time. Here are some tricks on how to in money at NoPay without spending anything other than time.
1. Click ads!
Those ads (in the top and the bottom of the lobby, and the sides of the table) that you see all the time and you don’t give any attention are really a gold mine. Each click on them will give you 1 instant FreeD to your account. Only by clicking it, and simply closing the popup that shows up. So, you win money without doing anything more than two clicks. And you can click 26 of them over the day. So, this is 26 FreeDs every day! If you do this 30 days in a row, you will get 780 FreeDs without any effort! Pretty easy, isn’t?
2. Join every freeroll!
If you have enough time, spend it in freerolls! Even if you don’t play poker very well, or if you are learning: you won’t spend anything more than time, and freerolls are an excellent way to practice and improve your poker game. The only thing that you could lose is time. And what you can win? FreeDs, experience, having some fun and even getting to know some players! I have made some friends at the NoPay poker tables and so can you. When you’re starting out Freerolls are the way to go, so go join them and play as much as you can.
3. Join in leagues!
Many player at NPP don’t play in the leagues and some might consider them a waste of time. Well, let me tell you something: they are not. Most of them are free to join and can reward you with extra FreeDs and great game experience. The only thing that you have to do is join them and play 5 Sit and Go’s of the same kind, and if you do it well, you may get a prize from that league. They are very easy, and are easy money too.
4. Do not play the cash tables!
Not until you’re good anyway. Maybe you are fed up with freerolls and/or tourneys and want some real action in the cash tables. Well, you should not do it. Why? Because you can lose money. You might also win some too but when you do you’ll want to play more and soon or later, you will lose. You can’t win every time you play, and this means you will lose money (if you play freerolls and leagues, this won’t happen) but once you’re a decent player and if you have ambition to graduate to real cash games at places like PartyPoker, Titan and Winner then you can try these games later on, but as a beginner or even intermediate (in free poker) – avoid.
I hope this advice helps, it’s not hard to get some free poker money from NPP very quickly and easily AND you get to improve your poker skills game without losing any FreeD/money.
A very common poker search term online goes something like this: “free online poker for money” or cash – or variations of. There are a lot of people out there who want to play online poker for free but still be able to win money.
Rather impossible most would think, hoping against hope like the desperate people who type in things like “free money” or hope to earn lots from those online scams where you have to pay to get put in contact with companies who will pay you to do surveys or do data entry jobs.
Of course there is no such as truly free, at NoPay for example, while you cannot lose money as you cannot deposit it you do need to put in a lot of time and be a decent poker player in order to get the “free money”.
But if you are good enough what are your cash out options? Our super member only1dani has taken the time to write this great article telling you what you can do once you’ve got a big stack of Freed just begging to be turned into real money.
So, without further ado I will hand over to only1dani:
Congratulations, you’ve been playing on NPP for a while now and have built a bank large enough to cash out and hopefully had a lot of fun doing it.
I hope this article will put to rest any fears you may have had in not being able to cash out.
As you have been told when you first came to this site the current currency rate is 200 FreeDs =$1 USD and the minimum cash out amount for non-premium is 8000 FreeDs.
Neteller is the available cash out option for many countries.
Since Neteller is not available to all countries; listed below are some really great alternative withdrawal options NPP has provided that we all can use.
Keep in mind that many of the cash out options do not require you to have as large of a minimum.
AFFILIATE CASH OUTS – Go to My Account then Withdraw Money
This is a fantastic way to cash out since it gives you the benefit of playing a real money deposit site plus staying at NPP and earning even more cash to deposit, with just a little multi-tasking you can play both sites simultaneously.
The current minimum deposits for affiliates are listed below:
Titanpoker – 4000 FreeDs = $20.00 USD
PartyPoker – 2500 FreeDs = $12.50 USD
FeltStars – 5000 FreeDs = $25.00 USD
Winner – 4000 FreeDs = $20.00 USD
CarbonPoker – 2000 FreeDs = $10.00 USD
First time withdrawals receive great deposit bonuses from both the Withdrawal Site and NPP plus many times NPP and the Withdrawal Sites will have promotional offers for additional withdrawals.
Always be sure to check the News and Updates for the promotional offers.
FREED EXCHANGE – Go to My Account then My Exchange Transactions
The FreeD Exchange is a place for players to sell to other players and other than providing us with a place to do this NPP is not involved.
These sales are between players only.
It is an easy format using Paypal or Moneybookers and FreeDs sell quickly depending on the sales price, and yes, you may sell for more than the current rate, most players do.
Players using the FreeD Exchange have had remarkable success in selling their FreeDs.
The current minimum sale is 200 FreeDs or Ten (10) Percent of your bank, if you are premium this goes up to Twenty (20) Percent.
A good trick in deciding if this is the option you want to use is to open the exchange and look at the sellers with larger feedback ratings, this designates how many times they have sold, as you will see some of our NPP players are doing very well and have sold thousands of dollars worth since the Exchange opened.
As you can see there are multiple options for cashing out, try them all, never limit yourself.
This free online poker training article by NoPayPOKER member lostandbroke, thanks 
Well, I say training but it’s more of a school of hard knocks and reality
Heed thee now the erudition garnered from seven decades of observation – and seven minutes of thought. Poker has rules beyond the ken of average mortals. These rules are incomprehensible, immutable, and insensitive to the expectations of all.
These rules impose themselves upon Hold’em fanatics in a manner inversely proportional to need – the more you want it, the less likely you are to receive it. These rules defy the laws of probability, but prove Murphy’s Law.
They are as follows:
Rule #1: If two non-connected, non-suited small cards go all-in against a pair of aces, the board will flop two cards to match the small cards, and no ace.
Rule # 2: The turn card would have given you a win if you hadn’t folded at the flop.
Rule #3: You will draw a pair of aces and the board will flop the other two aces only when you are sitting out to take an important phone call.
Rule #4: You will see multiple hands containing a royal flush; none of them will be yours.
Rule #5: You will hit quads only if the opponent has a straight flush.
Rule #6: If you wish “gl” for the other players at the table, they will have it.
Rule #7: The river card will fill an Inside straight only if your opponent is the one trying for it.
Rule #8: The board will flop a nut flush only if the turn and river cards give your opponent a boat.
Rule #9: If a serious expert induces the novice to bet, the novice will win the hand.
Rule #10: If you take yourself too seriously, you won’t have any fun. Enjoy the game, no matter what frustration it throws at you.
Poker Ups and Downs By Shadowsee
You can’t win them all. Heard that all my life and know it to be true in every aspect of life. People who take fewer chances suffer fewer losses, but also they tend to miss out on opportunities. I have a cousin who married his first girlfriend, so you might say he went all in first hand. It looks like he won, great kids and still married 25 years later. Of course that’s just how it looks, never know whether he or his wife ever wonder if they missed anything.
What’s that got to do with poker? Well, if you don’t bet u don’t lose, you win one hand and call it good you are a winner, so to speak, with a 100% winning average, but man it’s going to be dull from then on. To get the full, rich experience of a veteran player, you have to take some risks.
Having said all of that, and there’s no charge for it by the way, I need to inform you that there is a down side to taking risks. Sometimes you lose. Oh, I know, you’re thinking “duh”. It’s funny though how upset we get sometimes even when we know that losing is always a possibility. People get so mad at times they don’t speak to anyone, or even worse they do, and the things being said just aren’t nice.
That’s the main purpose behind this article really, to point out that the rewards of winning are sweeter for the pain of losing, and that you have to take the good with the bad, even better if you can do it gracefully.
Not only will you have more fun that way, but you will be more fun to play with. You may have friends here, friends who will be with you through all the ups and downs, in poker and in life.
*** And if losing money is too much of a risk then that’s what NopayPOKER is here for. Play free online poker for fun with your only risk being your time NOT money (and you can win some real money too)
Our thanks to NoPayPOKER member Shadowsee for this free online poker article.
There are some, I’m sure, who come just to play cards and just for that NoPayPoker is the best site I know of. As an American, I appreciate the chance to win real money, which I can’t do on any other site thanks to the new regulations in my country. I have cashed out before, 30 bucks, not much, but still it was nice to get paid just for having fun!
There are many others who have made a lot more, and some who even have made a considerable profit, so money IS a good reason to love NPP.
I guess Iv’e been playing on NPP for about five years now, though its hard to be sure since I’m well over 40 and memory is as selective as en election with sticky chads, hard to say how or when it might come out. One thing I do know for sure is that I have some good memories stemming from the time I’ve spent here, playing poker with my friends.
Quite simply, it’s the friends that make it worthwhile for me and that leads me to why I think NPP is so special.
The lobby chat room is a feature I have only seen at NPP and no other poker site. All the others have a chat window at the tables, usually filled by people I don’t know. At NPP, however, there is a place where everyone in the game can gather to share their thoughts. It may be as trivial as “man, I can’t believe I lost that hand, I had 3 aces!”, but often it gets a bit deeper. Over the years I and my friends at NPP have shared some of the most difficult aspects of life and a few triumphs, too.
We come here when we are sad, when we are overwhelmed by our problems, and find encouragement, sympathy and strength in each other. Even when we feel like crying, we may find a laugh or two, or at the least a few shoulders to cry on.
Maybe it wasn’t intended to be this way when the game was created, but NPP has brought people from all over the world together and made bonds of friendship which have lasted and grown stronger through the years. I think that’s pretty darned special, don’t you?
Here at NoPayPOKER as on other free online poker sites as there is no risk of losing money there does seem to be an “element” among the membership who, shall we say, like to play with what can be politely called reckless abandon…AKA playing as donks.
If that is not you then by all means read on, the post below is amusing (we think) if you are a donk…please read and think.
Now, OK, it’s up to you how you play but wouldn’t you rather win by design rather than by luck as, guess what, poker is NOT a game of luck or chance WHEN you know what you are doing.
When you play donk then it’s luck and at considerably worse odds than a coin flip (hint there, there is such a thing as odds…why not visit the free poker training sections to learn about that)
If you’re an addicted donk but you do truly want to get better you need to check out all the free poker lessons and also run through the simple 12 step program below. Once you are out of the hole then you can ignore step 12.
1. Acknowledge that there IS a fold button.
2. Admit to yourself and others that you have a problem using the fold button.
3. Contemplate the possibilities of using the fold button.
4. Fold.
5. Try not going all in on the first hand before the flop, just once.
6. Overcome the idea that having pocket cards 39 offsuit is a good reason to shove in all your chips.
7. Realize that a successful donk is just lucky, and not really someone you want to emulate as a basic strategy.
8. Admit that you are and always will be a donk unless you take positive steps to stop.
9. Reconcile with those you have donked, through apology or repayment of freeds.
10. Have faith in your own ability to overcome your donkiness. (Learn how to play poker)
11. Stop praying for that higher power to bless your preflop calls.
12. Stay of ring tables.
So you yourself a favor, believe us, poker is much more fun when you play it properly, who knows, one day you might actually be able to play poker for money at a place like PartyPoker and not lose your shirt!
In this short free online poker tips article I’m looking at some basics areas that all players, new and maybe old, need to be very aware of – the oft overlooked importance of your table name and then some fundamental tips on how to play smart in order to cut into probability and minimize “bad luck”
First : Your name
Second : play smart on table position, playable cards and who you play against.
Here at NoPayPOKER as you know we’re all about free online poker, you the players don’t deposit any money and there is no risk of loss (apart from your time and maybe sanity 
However when real money gets involved the water gets a lot more muddy and countless debates have occurred discussing whether or not the internet game is as fair as playing in a live setting. Let’s take a look at the evidence.
The Debate
Over the years, public opinion has varied greatly about the integrity of online poker. Conspiracy theories have include the ‘cash-out curse’ to pot-juicing by individual poker sites to create action and generate more rake. Some players believe that if they count to ten before going all-in they’re less likely to lose.
Most of the live grinders at the Vic card room in London believe that only spies, crooks and the mentally unhinged actually play poker online for money…is this fair?
In reality, online poker is facing tough times. Black Friday and the ongoing saga surrounding Full Tilt Poker have thrown the game of online poker into disrepute. For a company of such stature to fall from grace so dramatically was almost inconceivable, yet it happened and the skeptics’ knives are out.
The Method
For most online poker players, bad beats and downswings are part of the game. The ‘rigged’ theory is simply a by-product of variance.
There may be light at the end of the tunnel for the doubters though, as one site is attempting to answer the age old debate.
The team at Online Poker Watchdog has run a series of tests over millions of hands at leading online poker sites to determine whether there is statistical proof of ‘rigging’ or unfair practice. The website claims to be an independent statistical auditor, solely focused on maximizing the integrity of the game.
PokerStars, PartyPoker and the OnGame network are the three poker operators surveyed so far.
The investigation consisted of two tests and was fairly straightforward and similar in all three cases.
1) Firstly, over a million hands were uploaded into a database and were compared by expected number of hands won in comparison with the actual number of hands that won.
2) The second test segregated hands that were ahead pre-flop and hands that were behind pre-flop and a comparison was executed.
The Results
PokerStars analysis focused on a sample of 1 million downloaded hands and 69,663 pre-flop all-ins from Sit n Go tournaments. Actual expectation would suggest that 35,748 of these hands would win. In reality, 35,850 of these hands won, meaning an actual deviation of +102. For those of you without a degree in mathematics, this is very close to normal. When comparing pre-flop all-ins when ahead and behind, the statistics again proved to be close to normal.
PartyPoker research looked at a sample of 1.26 million hands, breaking down 11,984 hands from $50NL full ring cash game tables.
PartyPoker are a NoPayPOKER partner site. See HERE for details of how to cash up your NoPayPOKER FreeD for game funds to play for money on PartyPoker
OnGame’s investigation studied a sample of 1.42 million hands, looking at 12,306 hands from $30NL short handed cash game tables. Actual expectation assumed that 6,457 would win. In reality, 6,454.5 hands won leaving an actual deviation of -2.5. The pre-flop all-in comparison unsurprisingly proved to be close to normal.
The Verdict
The stats from Online Poker Watchdog are clinical to say the least.
All three operators show no signs of foul play in their respective analysis.
While most players will have never really believed that the online game was rigged in any way, hopefully these stats go some way to proving it.
While the legal situation regarding online poker may be unclear in some countries, it’s warming news to see that game integrity at the big operators is intact and well.

Playing free online poker is all about fun but playing free poker that also pays you to play increases the fun to a whole new level and NoPayPOKER does exactly that.
I have played on NPP for over 2 years and have found that organizing the time I spend on here makes it more profitable which to me translates into fun , so when I first log into NPP each day I do the following:
FIRST THINGS FIRST
ADS – Do these every 90 seconds 26 times a day.
BONUS CHIPS – Increase your odds of winning.
ENTRANCE TO THE HIGHER PAYING TOURNAMENTS
SPONSERS - Do a minimum of 25 FreeDs weekly to qualify for the 10k Sponsor Game.
QUALIFIERS – Try to win at least one a day, I play them while playing other games. Don’t be left
out of the higher paying games, do these early in the week or month to ensure entry into the finals.
PLAYING GAMES ON NoPayPOKER
The only suggestion I will offer you in this area is to try all of the games not just the freerolls to see what is the best fit for you. Some of the privately made games are a lot of fun and profitable as are the league games.
CHAT LOBBY
If your new to NPP you may have noticed the unique chat lobby and the Moderators that are always there to help you.
In addition to this is it is a place to meet and get to know other NPP players, a place to laugh and a place to just have fun prior to even registering for a poker game. Want help celebrating your birthday, your anniversary, having health issues and just need a few kind words, tired of being alone? You will always find a friend in the NPP lobby, we are like a family there and we really do care about all of the players on this site.
