WINNER: 888poker
Poker8 is more cartoonish but most importantly more amateur player-friendly.
On top of that, 888poker has a dedicated Beginner's Area plus a selection of low-stakes games.
There are loads of promos and freerolls, and 888 also currently holds the best new player bonus.
Finally, if you're swinging in from casino and sports betting, these are also available as side games.
This all factored into why we've chosen 888poker as the best poker beginner site in 2020.
