Hello and Welcome to Poker Freeroll Password,


If your looking for those hard to find Private Freerolls and Buy-ins you have come to the right place. All members are welcome to post private events with a link to the hosting poker site.


PASSWORDS to the private events are NOT ALLOWED to be posted. Forum owners wishing to post events including passwords may contact me in the forum and special permission will be given.


Once you register please read the rules in the forum for posting the events. If you are looking for private events that are not listed in the forum please post a event locate request are members here will try to locate the hosting sites address for you to join.


Any forum that does not wish to have events posted with a link to your site may contact me. Your forum will be added to a do not post list if members post your event they will be banned from the forum.

that was it also to let you guys know when i first started doing the forum thing i joined the nameless PWsite not knowing that is what it was and was banned from another nameless site for being one but never made one post there

when the 2nd site told me they banned me for being member wasnt sure i knew what they banned me for till they told me then i went to the pw sharing site that i never even went to after joining and requested they ban me so it would not happen again they did

so any one this is a warning if you join the pw sharing site they are teaming with there are some forums out there that will ban you just for being a member there

just a heads up from someone whos been there

hi all

just to add that I saw mention of "that password" site on the TPFC emails - I'd been waiting to find out what the connection was (ie. owned by same or partnering with that site) and will review things from there

UPDATE: there are TWO sites with very similar URL's - one with an s and one without ... the "partner" to TPFC is the other new pokerfreerollpassword.com site which it would seem isnt posting passwords etc - just times and event"


whilst as I've said already I dont like ANY sites that allow posting of other forums passwords - there are alot of forums who rely on their "password" sections to get visitors so while "that site - one with the s" maybe the most visible its also not the only offender

as everyone should be aware now - we have got them (the site with the s) to agree not to allow our passwords tobe posted ... and they seem to be following that reasonably well

other sites frankly are not so bothered about admining their sites generally so passwords leak in all sorts of places

I know that PFP(s) was looking at re-focusing their business model to try and be more legit and less encouraging of password posting

but this is a different site without an "s" that has partnered with TPFC

will watch the situation

cheers scrawnybob

You dont want to get banned from alot of great forums to join a known pw thief forum.I dont know how the legit forum has a very similar name,without the *s*is going to work out.Its prolly meant to be a thorn in the butt for the thief site.So do a little research before you join a forum.dont get in the wrong one,or it will cost your reputation,and your membership,and eventually money.

I would like to let you know I own pokerfreerollpassword the one without the s. I bought the domain after the other site opened. I will never allow members to post the passwords for other forums events on the site. If anyone does they will be removed ASAP and the member will be ban. Here is a screen shot of the domains I own.



Suited pockets bought the .net and .org with the s in the name so that he could not get as much traffic.

I had been waiting a few months to do something with the domain I bought. Some of you might know me from Freerolltourny, I own that site and TPFC along with some others, I have always tried to stop the password thiefs sites. The team owners at TPFC can view a section that members can not see where owners can share members names, IP's and email addys that share passwords. On the new domain there is also a section like that for just forum owners.

I and other owners at TPFC had hostgator shut the other forums down once already. He did move to an overseas host which they wont shut him down for copyright violations. Below is a copy of hostgator first shutting him down.

Hello,
Thank you for reporting that, the user has been suspended.

I had also contacted several of the sites he has tried to host his own events with Walker poker & Nastyduck both pulled his events and several others closed his affiliate accounts.

Many thanks for your clarification. I assumed you had bought the domain. Well done, keep up the good work
