Free and Fun Online Gambling Sites

Trish Cherry
The Internet Gaming Bill that recently passed has put a halt to many people's online gaming habits. Fortunately, for those who like to gamble but not lose money, there are several gaming sites that let you play for free and for fun..

MyTwoCentsWorth.net is an online gaming site with an interesting take on things. This free site allows you to be a bookie. Players can make their own "books" on any event or game. You are also allowed to place bets on other player's books. The winner is determined by whomever is the best at placing bets or is the most successful bookmaker. You have to register to create an account to play, but it is simple and free. Of course no real money is involved in the bets and you agree to the final decision of the administrator as to who wins.

Casino.com is another free gambling site. Free games you can download include blackjack, roulette, slots, video poker and craps. You can keep track of your own personal best scores and play to beat those, or register to play against other people's scores.

PlayUBT.com is the official site of the popular Ultimate Blackjack Tour. On this free gambling site you play Elimination Blackjack which is a tournament form of blackjack where you play against the dealer and other players.

UBT also has what they call "Sit n Go" tournaments constantly going for free. Every time you win a Sit n Go you receive a Tournament Entry Chip. You use the chips to pay your way into one of the qualifying games for the main event. If you win the main event, you get a spot at the final table of the next UBT stop on TV.

According to the UBT site the official rules for play in the tournament are as follows:

1)One player is eliminated on hands 8, 16, and 25. You have a total of 30 hands to determine if you have what it takes to become the next UBT champion.

2)In preliminary tournament rounds, each player starts with $25,000 in play chips, which is also the maximum bet. The minimum bet is $500. At the final table, each player starts with $100,000 in play chips, which is also the maximum bet. The minimum bet for the final table is $1,000.

3)Action starts on the button and rotates clockwise every hand.

4)Each player has 25 seconds to make a decision. The timer will start to count down when you only have ten seconds left to act. On Elimination Hands, players have 45 seconds to make a decision.

5)Hands 8, 16, and 25 are Elimination Hands, at the end of which the player with the least amount of chips is eliminated.

6)Each player has one Secret Bet that can he can use at any time during the round.

7)Whoever has the most play chips at the end of hand 30 wins.

The UBT site also sometimes offers "Freeroll Tournaments" with prizes for making the final table.

Bet 21.Net is another site that was a money based gambling site, but after the passage of the prohibiting bill, it switched to free online Elimination Tournaments. All you have to do is register and you can sit in and play.

Check out any of these free online gaming sites and try your luck for free. You can't get cheaper entertainment than that.
