Hollywood Poker - Detailed Site Review

EXCLUSIVE MYPOKERMATCH OFFER: Up to $1500 bonus for a new Hollywood Poker account thru MyPokerMatch!

Hollywood Poker is the brain child of "Casino" co-star James Woods and "World Poker Tour" co-host Vince Van Patten. They get many Hollywood celebrities to come to their site and play at the regular cash game tables and in the daily tournaments. Also, through MyPokerMatch, they offer one of the best sign up bonuses on the web, up to $1500.

Hollywood Poker offers the expected amount of game variety for a medium sized online poker site. Since they bring in some big name celebrities, they attract many more recreational players than other sites. They offer a good amount of tournaments, but really focus on satellites to bigger events.

Their feature tournaments include a freeroll to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and a $5 million Guaranteed Ongame Poker Classic. The Hollywood Poker Celebrity Classic, which runs every Sunday at 2:00 pm, puts a tournament bounty on well known celebrities. Also, they host a weekly Celebrity Poker Night tournament which gives away seats to the WSOP as part of the celebrity bounty prize.

Hollywood Poker also gives away a lot of free money through other poker promotions outside of the initial signup bonus. They regularly offer 100% match reload bonuses that range from $50 to $1,000. Also, they have many satellite qualifiers for the WSOP Main Event. Lastly, they have a good Club Hollywood Rewards Program that gives direct player rewards for frequent play.

If you are a Mac or Linux user, you can try Hollywood Poker without downloading their software by using their Java-based website. By having Java-based table action, Hollywood Poker is also an ideal destination for those with slower connections, or those that wish to play from computer labs or away from home.

Hollywood Poker boasts a Green Room, which is a magazine and forum that gives a lot of help to the new players. Besides a blog by WPT co-host Vince Van Patten, they have sections concerning poker lifestyle, celebrity poker updates, and poker message boards. This section gives Hollywood Poker a unique personality not found with other online poker rooms.

The quality of customer service is very good, and they usually respond to any problems quickly. They have an average Neteller cashout time of 2-4 business days.
