The Poker Lab Rat

Following on from the last post where we’ve had hassles with the Prima Poker Network - here’s a suggestion - try Ongame for a change!

A new poker site qualified for entry into our top recommended online poker rooms list this quarter. Congratulations to the crew at Hollywood Poker as PokerLabrat are fairly demanding!

Hollywood Poker is Costa Rica licenced and a key member of the Ongame Poker Network. Hollywood Poker shares tournament players with other PokerLabRat recommended Ongame sites like Eurobet Poker and Canbet Poker but has some great differentiating features! It looks a bit different too (spot the extra cleavage, plaid jacket and missing handbag? See image below).

Hollywood Poker is an excellent site for USA residents to play online poker!

It is really well geared up for hassle free Hold’em for Americans. Many sites struggle to provide a good safe site for USA residents as jurisdiction, payment and/or support issues get in the way. Hollywood Poker has got it right!

Joining and player bonuses at Hollywood Poker really favor Amercians too – anyone can earn the cash bonuses (of 500% deposit match up to $1000!) but USA residents are eligible for extra free stuff (e.g. iPod Nanos, iPod Shuffles, Poker Magazine Subscriptions, Poker T-shirts and caps). A bit of a bugger if you’re not American though    but the bonus dollars, $17,500 in freeroll prizes each month and quality poker on offer is certainly not to be sneezed at.

‘Where the stars come to play’ is the theme that runs through Hollywood Poker – and each week you can play in at least 3 Celebrity poker tournaments – some include celebrity bounty prizes.  (These are ‘real celebrities’ (ha!) not ‘poker celebrities’ like Full Tilt’s …)

Have a look at our review of Hollywood Poker, see how Hollywood’s bonuses compare to other top online poker rooms  or visit them to see for yourself.

PS: It’s still not too late to win or buy entry into the $5,000,000 (that’s 5 million dollar) Ongame Network Poker Classic. Hollywood Poker’s tournament schedule gives you a number of great opportunities.
