The all-new $250 "Freewheel" debuted on PokerStars on FanDuel on US Independence Day.

PokerStars on FanDuel is launching two free $250 tournaments, "Freewheel," to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. Players can win Spin & Goal tickets for free.

PokerStars on FanDuel will celebrate American Independence Day with two free-for-all tournaments (Free Wheels), open to all players (both existing and new).

To celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, PokerStars on FanDuel is offering players two chances to win a $250 prize pool (distributed as Spin & Goal tickets). Read on to learn how to participate!

"Freewheel" lands on PokerStars on FanDuel

Stop calling it a free tournament—that's not patriotic enough. "Free Wheel" is coming to PokerStars on FanDuel in the US, offering players extra value this weekend. The first Free Wheel starts at 10:00 AM, and those who miss it can join the second free tournament starting at 10:00 PM.

Each tournament features a $250 prize pool, with the top 50 players advancing to the money. Both tournaments are freeze events; once eliminated, the tournament ends. Therefore, intense competition from American players in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey is expected at the tables.

How to participate

Risk-free online poker tournaments give you the chance to win real money—it sounds too good to be true. But it's true, and it would be a shame to miss out on the opportunity to win extra cash to grow your bankroll.

Best strategy for winning the freewheel

Of course, your goal should be to have fun, but we all want to win. Here are three tips that may help you win a share of the freewheel prize pool.

• Don't get involved in the early chaos.The first tip is to be patient. Let other players bluff with their chips; don't get caught up in putting all your chips into mediocre hands. Free tournaments always attract a lot of participants, but many players quickly get bored and start gambling more—because they haven't paid any buy-in. Let those players eliminate themselves. This will give you a better chance of getting into the money rather than getting involved in the chaos.

• Adjust your bluffing rangeWe all dislike being bluffed, but the difference in free-for-all tournaments is that the risk of calling when you suspect a bluff is minimal because you don't have to pay the buy-in. Bluffs that might work in regular tournaments are less likely to work in these free-for-all rounds. Don't try to bluff with your entire stack early on. It might be the right play, but your opponents are more likely to call. As the tournament progresses, players invest more time and get closer to the money, bluffing becomes more impactful.

• Use strong cards to attack aggressively.The first two tips lean towards caution, but that doesn't mean you should play super tight in every situation. If you have a strong hand, such as an Ace or King—the best starting hand in poker—be aggressive. For the same reasons as before, opponents will be less picky when putting chips into the pot. Use this to your advantage when you have a strong hand (including post-flop) to maximize value.
