What are your opinion about these two sites.
I played on both of them, atm i am on ggpoker but to be honest i liked more PS. Rake on ggpoker is brutal, on PS is decent, mb not very rewarding with the chest system but i still liked it more.

If i had to chose all over (i came to GG cos of the nice promo and it's not excluded that i am going back to PS) i think i would start again on PS.

Unfortunately, players from my country are not allowed to create a GGpoker account. But in any case, I am sure that pokerstars is a more convenient and reliable site.

I have read that alot players have problem with customer service and withdrawing money, it takes longer than it should and if you wait for customer service you get old.

I’d definitely choose PokerStars. I tried GG and while the graphics were cool at first, they started becoming annoying and distracting. Much more variety on PokerStars as well.

I’m not sure which site you are referring to here (GG or PokerStars). Read it a few times and still not clear. I can say with confidence that withdrawing money on PokerStars is quick and simple. I withdraw some a couple of weeks ago and it arrived the next business day straight into my bank account. And that was without ever depositing on PokerStars (I built from $0 from freerolls).

Can’t say anything about GG.

I was referring to PS as he stated that he can't open GG in his country.

I like more PS i will most likely go back, i have tickets for tournaments here on GG but when i finish with them i will deposit next on PS.

I played on GGpoker for a while, but I rarely play now. I play mostly tournaments and their schedule is awful. The best value tournaments that I found starts in the morning or afternoon here in my country and I only can play at night. So, if I had to choose it would be PokerStars.

In my opinion, that's not true. At least, both of my recent withdrawal requests were processed within several hours. And regarding customer service, I'm not sure about all skins, but GGPoker and Natural8 have really fast support, and as a rule, you don't have to wait more than 2-3 hours. And also you can get them by Telegram, Discord and Facebook Messenger. While PS support's response is like a matter of luck-maybe within 1 hour, maybe within several months

I won 10$ in a freeroll on GG poker and wanted to withdraw . they denied it and didnt give me the money . I sent them a mail and asked why they didnt give me the money and the answer was that I have to make a deposit first . well guess what .....I deposited money a few times already ....and I answered him and told him that I did make deposits . no answer from him

I dont play there since then anymore

Except bad customer support i like more PS, one think i like about GG is that you can find support on discord, that is really convenient if you need something. They verified my account in 2 min after i asked on discord.

True that but there are some bad schedule tournaments on PS as well. I also start playing around 23:00 CET and some of them start around 21:00 CET. Also you are forced to play NL 5 as minimum not NL2 like on PS. That was big change altho i learned alot from NL5.

I only play at GG for promotions , been there only 1 month so I have not tried their withdrawal methods yet.
For me Pokerstars is way ahead of GG , when it comes to the selection of tournaments . Also I get my money within 24 hours through neteller. Never had any issues there.

But there is one thing I noticed with GG, lots of Asian players there, Chinese and Korean players can be very aggressive and play really bad, many players can't fold hands so if you play against them you could do well .

Yes, I agree. The PS tournaments schedule could be better too, the best value tournaments starts in the afternoon here in my country. But, I found 2 good value tournaments that starts at night..the only problem is that I have to play the same tournaments everyday..lol
If I played cash games I think I would play on GGpoker because at least there you have rakeback and PS promotions are horrible :(

Actually I played NL5 on GG and the rake is brutal. PS is not so rewarding with the star chest but i liked it more than on GG.

Not sure what country you are from but GGPoker is kinda sad in terms of basic deposits/withdrawal decency in most countries. No direct withdrawal to bank. 50$ mininum withdrawal.

My personal opinion of GGPoker is the best poker room in the whole game plan, the only drawback in GGPoker is the mobile client for android, the application crashes all the time, I hope they will make a good, convenient application in the near future, like on the partypoker android application!

Pokerstars has also good mobile application, same as the client version.

frankly i like gg poker better than pokerstars already. In the beginning, GG Poker was not like that but it was developed and is already competitive with pokerstars. I think in a few years GG may be the best. I think :)

You should have played there several years ago, when there weren’t so many European and Canadian regular players, and the field was really soft.

I think i read minimun for withdraw from GG is 50$.
skrill and Neteller minimum is 10$
