    Hollywood Poker has shut its doors down, but at least unlike some other sites, player balances seem 'safe' and are supposedly being transferred over to redkings.com. Also, it looks like players that are betting once their balances are moved are getting a nice bonus from RedKings as well. Hopefully a story with a happy ending for the players there, but sad to see a site that has been around since 2004 close its shop. One less skin on the OnGame network.

    Thanks for posting this, Jaxon. This was quite a sudden closure. In any case, here's a little bit more information about it from PocketFives:

    Have any former Hollywood Poker players out there successfully migrated over to RedKings?

    Man that was my favorite site back in the day. Every week they gave me a bonus. It was easy to clear too.

    GG Hollywood Poker!

    Very sad, was my favourite site and have many good memories from playing there. Particularly from a few years ago, getting up early for the celeberity bounty tournaments where if you knocked out 5 you got $2000. Most of them weren't there, so it was all in when there were about to blind out... I noticed something fishy up a few days before they closed, customer support and cashouts were unavailable. I was transferred over to redkings without too much drama, however was immediately subjected to a security check with funds frozen, thankfully everything seems ok now. However i know little about other ongame skins as ive been with hollywood for so long. Anyone recommend a good ongame skin?
