While most sites offer freerolls to new players Ladbrokes is helping new players by teaching them the basics before giving them entry.

New players can swot up in the Ladbrokes Poker school, watch helpful videos and learn how to play different starting hands, before taking the graduation exam. Pass and they're in the freeroll.

Guiding the newbies through the Poker School is seasoned poker pro Roy "The Boy" Brindley.

And, just to make things a little easier on the eye, model Leilani is also on hand being taught by Brindley and helping you through the interactive parts of the poker school.

How to Graduate for entry to the $1,000 freeroll.

2) Open a real money account. (You can play for play money before moving on to real money but you need a real money account incase you win anything in the freeroll!)

3) Enrol in the Ladbrokes Poker school and work your way through the useful advice, interactive games and video tutorials.

4) Take the poker graduation exam!

Anyone passing the exam is entered into the weekly $1,000 freeroll. The tournament takes place a 8pm UK time every Monday. Full details can be found at Ladbrokes Poker.
