Welcome to CC marwic,
what is best is quite subjective. It looks like the number of users is going down on PS and GG is gaining more players? Of course it all depends what is available to you but I wouldn't limit myself to just one site. Look around and decide for yourself

Subjective or not but isn't pokerstars thinking the same way

I've never like Pstars for some silly personal reason but to be fair, the integrity of their games has held the highest standards the longest and that's what a lot of players always wanted.

Tilt was better at innovating and giving people what they wanted and it was head and shoulders better than pstars will ever be but we know how that worked out.

I like ACR now because it reminds of Tilt.

I haven't had any major issues with them so I can't really complain. The worst stuff happens around updates but if you go back to the Tilt days, I remember the familiar "All tables will shut down from x time to x time for updates" on a regular basis during off hours so when ACR has issues around an update I give them a break as long as they're working to fix it, lol.

And the issues were something like paused games or something like the game was cancelled and folks were still paid something so ACR tried to smooth things over

But yeah ACR for me. If you like pstars I wouldn't blame you for picking it. Its a good choice today but again I prefer ACR.

There's just too much Full Tilt and good memories or associations with Tilt that the ACR folks understand and try to give to their players.

I honestly cannot complain about PokerStars, they have been my first choice when I started playing on-line Poker and have tried other sites since joining them, but always eventually return to them after having a long break from them.
I once played on PKR.com for a while, as the players had Avatars sat around a table and moved when it was your turn to act, even getting the Avatars to peek at their hand while you decided to play or fold, or make gestures when you clicked on a comments table, comments like Nice Hand, Good fold, or even call other players "Loser" etc. a little childish but sometimes great fun!
Unfortunately they went into receivership and filed for bankruptcy and I believe I had lost my bankroll with them which was something I had built up from freerolls but was well over £120.00. But as I always said what you haven't had, you cannot miss. So not too much of a disappointment to me.
PokerStars came to the rescue and bought the player Database from the receivers and honoured everyone that became a PokerStars player with their full money returned to them and as I was already a member of PokerStars I had the money added to my Account.

Thank you PokerStars!

I think PokerStars and GG Poker are, as they are the two top rooms in view of traffic, nearly the same level.
GG Poker has a bit more modern interface,
than the classical interface that PokerStars has.
The games offered at PokerStars have a wider range of poker type variants.
GG poker seems to have a bigger schedule of tournaments at the micro end, perhaps because they don't have classic SNG games.
Alternatives are those lottery Spins and the nice battle royale ones.
For freerolls 888 may be a great choice and since they have opened them for German players again it's perhaps a good choice too as third option.
Entain Network or PartyPoker have a nice freeroll every hour,
so that you can built up a free bankroll, with slow but steady progress if you are patient.
Their games are still the classical schedule with S&G and Cash games the traffic there is a bit low and as a non hud option it is nice.
As not supported here ACR Poker or Winning Poker network seem to be quite nice opportunities.
I would love to see some IPoker skins entering the regulated german market,
I hope they work towards it because they are regulated in the UK area if there is a regulation.

Comboss599 · Jul 19, 2023

Yes. PS is the best site for me however i have comparison only with 888 and PartyPoker which i 've been playing several years ago. Nowadays i play only PS.

maxivega · Jul 19, 2023

I'm not sure if PStars is the best room but it's the one I like the most, and I can't stop playing on that site. I don't get used to other places.

Uranus · Jul 19, 2023

Yes, Pokerstars is the best room.

888 would be great if it would have more players.

About GG, want my advice is that if you want long term winnings on poker, stay away from GGpoker. Their RNG is not random, it is made to help weaker hands.

I had about 700$ profit there, I quit playing for a few months because it fkked my entire play on other sites seeing what rain of bad beats is there, I tried a tournament today saying "lets see, maybe something has changed", and after I see exactly the same bullshit pattern where you can almost predict what cards it will come to fkk your good hands I closed the software. Maybe I will give a try after another few months, if they will continue with the same bullshit, I`ll withdraw and bye bye GGpoker for good.

They have so many players because they accept all players forbidden on other sites, russians, aussies, etc, they all can play there.

only one i use so cant really compare

I do not think so. PokerStars has lost its lead a long time ago. In my opinion, the best sites today are 888 and GG, but PokerStars of course also has some advantages.

So where did that 700 profit come from?

Crazy wild samplesize that one tournament u entered today . Never seen a more convincing evidence than that. Would post that all over social media to expose them.

No they dont accept "all players forbidden on other sites". Some yes.

I only play PokerStars, so overall I have nothing to compare it to. But I'll probably sign up for accounts on other sites that have great CardsChat freerolls as well.

rachelle2291 · Jul 19, 2023

As of today maybe they are but a few weeks ago I would have said ACR when the lucrative streamer freerolls were running. But now that ACR had their big update they do not even offer spin and gos with a buy in of less than 5 dollars. How crazy is that?

Johnny78B · Jul 19, 2023

Well,I am still playing there. Probably used to.

kley126 · Jul 19, 2023

Definitely not. PokerStars is not the best. Probably the best and most promising at the moment is GG poker.

Canaldo Kao · Jul 19, 2023

In my humble opinion yes!

freddsl · Jul 19, 2023

yes, it is way above the rest, especially when you have to solve a problem.

VVi10 · Jul 19, 2023

If not the best, but certainly the most played. maybe for practicality and easy gameplay.

jcxmendes · Jul 19, 2023

In my opinion it still is, but I'm seeing another room improving a lot.

skaterick · Jul 20, 2023

Pokerstars isnt the best for me 'cause most Americans cant play real money on it !
