Ongame Network, of which HollywoodPoker is a member, allows players to register accounts with multiple Network Operators, but has the policy that an individual may only register for any single tournament from one of these accounts.

Any player who plays in a tournament from multiple player accounts will be in violation of this policy and suffer the following consequences:

1. They will be disqualified from a tournament in-progress if the violation is detected in real-time.

2. All money in all their player accounts with all Ongame Network operators will be confiscated, and the accounts closed.

3. They will be permanently banned from playing on Ongame Network.

Currently, due to the distributed nature of the Network, some banned players may be able to re-register through other operators' sites without detection - though this is something we are working towards preventing. When these banned players are caught, their money will be confiscated and their account closed.

At the Network's discretion, tournament pay-outs (the distribution of tournament prize monies to winners) can be held for up to 14 days if an investigation is required (though we will try to conclude all investigations within 72 hours). Investigations are predicated on automatic processes and manual checks conducted by separate support and security teams both during and after tournaments.

Where an investigation determines there is or has been a serious problem, all accounts suspected of being involved may be frozen for the duration of the investigation. This means that players will not be able to log-in or play, and they will not be able to withdraw or transfer funds. We recognize that this will be an inconvenience and we regret that this may affect innocent players.

Where an investigation requires that tournament pay-outs be held pending distribution to winners, we will endeavour to communicate this to all players involved shortly after the tournament concludes.

Ongame Network has the policy of not sharing the results of its investigations. However, where appropriate, both the results and actions being taken will be made available to players through our Operators' websites. If prizes need to be redistributed, this information will be provided directly to players.

Ongame Network and HollywoodPoker recognize that it of the utmost importance to provide safe gaming for all our players, and to ensure that our card room is fair. We go to great lengths to eliminate all unfair advantages and are removing the potential advantage provided by using multiple accounts to register for a tournament.

Note that cheating of any kind is strictly prohibited and will absolutely not be tolerated.
