Default Sportsbooks with Poker rooms

Can I please get info on the relationship sports books have with poker rooms from their site? Are they mostly skins from the same network? And is the sportsbook responsible for large poker winnings? And how do they deal with deposit bonus situations?

Just as an example, I think I heard that The Greek's poker room is a skin of Cake Poker. I think Jazette books also are affiliated with Cake Poker. So what happens if you already have a Cake Poker account, or have played poker through Jazette, and then want to play poker through The Greek. Is there going to be a problem having more than 1 account on the same network (not 2 funded accounts simultaneously, just that you signed up for an account already in the past)?

Also, say you win a big tournament. Is The Greek now responsible for paying out, or would the payout come from the poker room? Can you interchangeably transfer between your sportsbook account and your poker account?

Also, how would sportsbooks handle bonus situations. Say you get a deposit bonus, would the sportsbook prohibit you from playing poker until the rollover is met?

If you can provide any information about these scenarios for The Greek, or any other sportsbook that has a poker room to download, I would appreciate it.

No problem having more than one Cake account through more than one book. Just don't log on to both at the same time lol.

The sportingbet ones with Cake play out of the same account, as I remember. I don't know what Greek does. But in anycase, you should go "cake direct", you get back 30% or so a month that way in rake rebate.

Hard to believe Greek would be involved with them.

Nobody here has played poker through The Greek?

Just wanted info on who pays out on winnings - The Greek or the poker network? And can you transfer back and forth between the sportsbook and poker room interchangeably?
