Default Hollywood Vs. Poker Room

Since Hollywood and PokerRoom are on the same network does that mean the sites share the same players? I ask because I have been playing at PokerRoom but just found out that I can get 30% rakeback at Hollywood.

So is there any disadvangate to playing at Hollywood instead of Pokerroom besides software differences? It seems to me that if both sites were similar more people would play at Hollywood because of the rakeback.

Thanks.

Hollywood Poker is a top notch site from my experience. Excellent customer service, and cashouts always hit Neteller the next day. They also have great bonuses which they seem to offer frequently.

I highly recommend them.

I first played on Pokerroom and now do on my play all that network through Hollywood. The only exception is that the deepstack Aces tourneys and I believe their WSOP stuff is all Pokerroom-exclusive.

I play on pokerroom mainly because they have more ways I can lose money (ie, casino games).

But primarily, the advantage of pokerroom is the ability to play on my cell phone while dragged into shopping.

rakeback is "contributed"

bonuses are deducted from rakeback.

Unless you are playing short handed or heads-up rakeback = 0 when clearing the bonus.

If you pick a bonus that clears at a rate greater than 7pts per $1 then you should get a little rakeback after the bonus is deducted even playing fullring.

There are two different RB offerings at Hollywood. The RB I get is NOT deducted from bonuses, so you can get the never ending reload bonuses plus RB there.

If u ask most hollywood affiliates this guy is crazy and all hollywood affiliates have the same deal, bonuses are deducted from MGR. If you ask about it in the affiliates program you will undoubtedly get a response from raketherake explaining that bonuses are deducted from MGR, then rakeback is taken, rather then the bonuses coming off the rakeback itself... So technicly bonuses are not deducted from rakeback in that way at hollywood, but thats the same for every single room...
