The best online poker sites for beginners are rooms that offer bonuses or feature freerolls, and I think 888Poker is the best one.
I suppose, you are talking about the On Demand SnGs? These are indeed good games to get into tournament poker, and also for bankroll building. I will say though, that because you only start with 60BB on ACR and 75BB on PokerStars, and blinds go up every 5 minutes, they are not the best games for learning postflop strategy and especially turn and river play. So I would actually recommend a beginner to start with cash games. Or maybe mix it up and play some of both.Mr.Ram said:
The selection of regular tournaments is small compared to other sites, there are no SnGs, and rake is very high for 2NL and 5NL cash games. In top of this there are also problems with withdrawals, and customer service is poor. The only positives about 888 Poker is good software and a decent amount of freerolls in some markets.Sintubai said:

Good morning, everyone!
Whenever we ask a question related to poker, the word “depends” will almost always appear in the answer.
What is the best poker site for someone who is just starting out?
Answer: It depends on your ROI, it depends on your playing style, and it depends on what you play: Cash Games, MTTs, Sit & Gos, Spin & Gos, etc.
I started playing poker in 2018 and, in my opinion, it was very important for me to play on several different poker sites for a few reasons. One of them was discovering which sites I was most profitable on, and that helped me a lot with my development as a player.
Today, the sites where I am least profitable are ACR and GGPoker. The sites where I am most profitable are WPT Global, PartyPoker, and 888poker.
Even if a player plans to play only MTTs, I believe that playing Cash Games can also be a great way to gain experience. In Cash Games, you learn how to play pots according to the strength of your hand: with weak hands, you generally want to keep the pots small, while with strong hands, you want to build bigger pots.
That’s why I believe trying different formats and different poker sites can be very important for someone who is just starting out. You may discover where you play your best and, most importantly, where you can be the most profitable.

If you're completely new to poker, I’d start with PokerStars — specifically the free-play/virtual-chip tables.
It’s beginner-friendly because you can practice Texas Hold’em without risking money, and it has both cash-game and tournament formats but personally I started with natural8 becasue ample number of freerolls to build bankrolls

Seems like you opted out of sharkscope for most of your accounts? I could find your WPT Global account though, and you have only played 81 tournaments there. Which mean, your results are completely dominated by variance and dont mean anything at all. To say, if you are actually "more profitable" on one site than another you would need to play maybe 10.000 tournaments on each, and they would need to be of a comparable type, which in itself is a challenge.thwenth1983 said:
