I have been playing at Everest Poker for more than half a year and have seen at least two software updates. Now this room is really great for beginners where they can find easy to beat tables.
The best feature of the room is that you can earn money at Limit SNGs without deposit. Later you can go to bigger tournaments or freerolls which are becoming more frequent every month. Now they are running WSOP satellites also.
The only thing I dislike here is that players use their all time act. Also they disconnect and wait until every normal player drops out. Sometimes real money are won by player who is not active all the game, because he have got enough chips to pay the blinds.
They are international poker room with no Americans. But sometimes when you find yourself at the table with 5 French or Dutch guys who most probably know each other and chat in their own language, you can suspect that something wrong is going on. Maybe I am paranoid?
Everest has got quite enough deposit options (I did not use any of then, so I cannot tell anything more).
What I can recommend. Beginners can consider Everest poker as their home place. For couple of months. Later they can either play at cash or tourneys table or go somewhere else.
