I have been actively playing poker for a month. Mainly on GG, PS, 888. What other rooms do you recommend for a beginner?

What's your bankroll? What buy-in are you playing?

You already have accounts on the two largest sites (GG and PS) and another well respected site (888), so you really dont need any more. Instead you should pick one of those 3 sites based on, what you like best so far, and then focus your attention there for at least the next 3-6 month. Also and just as importantly you should decide, which games you are going to play, with the main choise being between cash games and tournaments.

If you choose cash games, then I would not pick 888 Poker, because the rake is very high for 2NL. The other reasonable choise is traditional SnGs, and here I would pick PokerStars, since it has the most game selection and action. GG Poker dont even have traditional SnGs, so the second option would be 888 Poker. If you insist on starting with MTTs, which I dont really recommend, then all 3 sites have a decent selection :)

I think on PS there are lower stakes games for Beginners like some sit and goes or spin and goes with a buy in from only $0,25, so as a beginner with a lower bankroll u can start your grind over there...I play also on GG but there I only play Tournaments with Buy ins starting from 3$, so my experience for the lower stakes isn as big as on Stars... ;)

I think, as a beginner, three sites where you already have accounts are more than enough. You should not register on all the sites in a row, there is no point in this. It is better to focus on the tournaments you play, on your bankroll management, skills, patience and discipline.

This is a good point, but to be fair, just because someone is a beginner does not always mean, they have a really small bankroll like 20$. If OP can afford either a bankroll of 500$ or a monthly budget of 50-100$, its not completely unreasonable to start playing 3$ MTTs and simply skip any stakes, that are lower than that. Or for cash game players they could go directly to 10NL and skip the stakes below that.

In my opinion, you should start playing with 888 or Poker Star.

Currently only freeroll and minimum limits. Bankroll $10
So what you really mean is not, which poker room is best for beginners. Your question is, which poker room is best for people, who dont want to deposit AKA freerollers. Promotions and freerolls come and go, so just carry out your own investigation and use the forum search function :)

Finding the best poker rooms for beginners is a top priority for every player. Someone invests in this concept a large number of tables at a certain limit, others - the reliability of the room and convenient deposit methods, and still others - good bonuses and high rakeback. Most poker rooms can offer really favorable conditions for users. For beginners, this can be a large number of freerolls to build up a bankroll for a deposit, and for experienced players, a bonus that will double the rakeback for several months.But do not forget about reliability - the poker room must be safe, without bots and superusers. The best are 888 and pokerstars.

Honestly, the poker rooms that you named are the best, but I think that for an initiate it is not about anything more than being in the best, but rather, taking advantage of the lessons offered by those rooms to improve the game of each person. On the other hand, there is complying with the rules and being responsible with the money they invest in betting. The software and hardware requirements also implies and finally choose the interfaces that you like the most!

If you are a beginner, I recommend unibet. Unibet is a small poker room aimed mainly at recreational players. In MTTs, HeXapro and Sit & Go have the lowest rake in the market. In addition, there are cool missions to complete each month, for which you receive tournament tickets and other prizes.

I started with 888. I think this poker room remains the best for beginners.

So play freeroll only.
Exactly. If someone dont want to deposit, then just play whatever freerolls are available at whatever site. Its not like, he can lose anything other than his time by doing so, so it makes no sense to look for the "best" site. Site and game selection dont become important, until you put your own money at risk.
