I just found a weird and obscure site; it's called Everest Poker. It has free SNGs, where you can earn pennies, and then use those to enter other SNGs and build yourself up from $0 (I think they claim that theoretically, you can start with nothing and build up to $80 in 6 or 7 SNGs).

The free SNGs are the weird part; they're limit hold'em, with 100 chips, starting at .50/1 and rising every 4 minutes. That in itself makes it a bit of a crapshoot, but they get to be a real donk-fest, with nearly every pot getting capped (5 bets PF, 4 bets other rounds, but no cap when heads-up), at least in the early going. As a lark, I've been playing in them, and basically nut-peddling. Once you earn 5 cents, you can play in a .04+.01 SNG, and this is no-limit (but still the 100 starting chips). I found a bit more maneuvering room there, but the game took too long, and I had to break off while I was #2 in chips with 4 left, one of whom had already disconnected. I don't know how I finished, but I'm guessing at least 3rd (I had something like 3-4 times the 4th place guy's chips when I left), and maybe 2nd if the chip leader knocked out the other guy before I got blinded out; I'll know when I check my account balance there tonight.

I have no idea about cashouts or anything; I literally just started playing there this weekend.
