Hollywood Poker

Hollywood Poker: Hollywood Poker is a poker site on the Ongame poker network, and is one of the poker sites where you can play with a multitude of actual celebrities. The network ranks about 5th or 6th for ring game traffic anywhere! Games offered include Hold’em, Omaha High and Hi/Low, Seven Card Stud and Five Card Draw. Casino games of Blackjack, Roulette, Craps, Video Poker and Slots are also available if interested. Hollywood Poker has a great line of current promotions, and a JAVA version is available for users of all computing platforms. US players are not accepted.

Promotions: Hollywood Poker is full of great promotions. Their initial deposit program is tiered and starts at a whopping 200% up to $200 (plus some other goodies) and goes up to and goes up to 1000% up to $5000 (plus some goodies). That alone is excellent, but another current promotion that can’t be found anywhere else is the top set and aces and faces quads bonues. Hit and ace while holding rockets during select times for a nice cash bonus, the same for quads with face cards or better. All this plus an extensive rewards program where you can gain access to freerolls or merchandise make Hollywood Poker a great place to play. Check their website for more information.

Traffic: Being part of the Ongame Network, ring game traffic is never really an issue and you should be able to find the game that suits you. Tournament traffic is pretty high as well.

Players: Players here are about the average or slightly above. There are definitely some fishy games to be found even at some higher levels, but watch out for the sharks as well!

Software: We have mixed feelings about the software. There are some nice features and it plays fast but is known to be a bit buggy at times if you are running on a low memory machine. The Java client is a great way to go for all platforms. Multi-table support is available but limited.

Deposit/Cashout/Transfer: Hollywood Poker accepts Visa, Mastercard, NeTeller, Click2Pay, and instaCASH all without fees. Withdrawals are available for all these options as well (checks only if not a credit card, or for credit cards which cannot be withdrawn to. Cashouts are handled via the same methods without fees as well as to Moneybookers.

Collusion detection methods are also in place as with other sites. It has been reported that the Ongame network RNG has been independently tested and verified by multiple parties.
