There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the answer will vary depending on the specific site and poker game you are playing. However, in general, most poker sites allow you to play without spending any money. However, there are a few caveats:
First, many sites offer “freerolls” – free tournaments where you have a chance to win money if you finish in the top prize pool. In order to qualify for these freerolls, you generally need to make a small deposit (usually around $10) to increase your chances of winning.
Second, some poker sites offer “cash games” – poker games where players compete against each other for money instead of against each other in a tournament. In cash games, you generally need to stake some money (usually around $5-$10) in order to participate.
