So I currently play on just ACR and feel lucky to have the option as an American. I was looking at signing up another skin or two such as BCP but want to make sure I understand. Am I allowed to have accounts on multiple and also be playing on them at the same time? Obviously I know I cant be in the same tables or tournaments but I just want to make sure I'm in the clear before doing anything.

If so, what all skins are there that I'm allowed to have accounts on and do they all share the same player pool or are some of them segregated?
Appreciate the help, sorry if this is made available somewhere, I did some searches but found some conflicting posts and just wanna make sure I don't do anything to jeopardize my account, USA options are already limited enough.

You can be on more than one skin but you can't play them at the same time. All WPN owned skins BCP/True/ACR share player pools 100%, there are some other affiliated skins that share 100% as well as ones that share player pools only for tournaments.

So essentially the only benefit to registering on other skins is to take advantage of a one time signup bonus, or am I missing anything?

That could be one of the advantages. Other include being able to have different accounts/names in the games you usually play. Some people that play HU or MSNL/HSNL games might want several names if they are a solid winner so they get more action.

Same reason for MTT's I suppose. It may be wise to play from a lesser known screen name of yours in big OSS events so there is less information available on you.

Some months you may be high volume and want to compete in the rake races, beast, sit n crush or whatever promotions they have available and if you don't have a RB account you can get better return/rakeback with a non-RB account. The opposite is true during months you aren't going to compete in rake races where you may want the 35% or 28% depending on what percentage your account is at for rakeback.

I'm sure there are other reasons/advantages as well.

The sites that exist are ACR/BCP/True/YaPoker/PokerHost/Heritage/Bookmaker/FabPoker and a couple others too.

It just feels like they are encouraging me to withdraw on ACR, immediately deposit on another skin to play through a good sign up bonus, and then just rinse and repeat.
I guess it just feels silly not to do that if so, but also feels kinda wrong at the same time.

They dont really care because RB on one site is going to give you a better return then the sign up bonus.

I'm not sure I follow. The 27% rakeback I get is better than a 100% first deposit bonus?

You're highly incentivized to stay on one skin if you're on elite rewards as the more you play the higher effective rakeback you get. That's not true on 27% rakeback but you also get less value from 1st deposit bonus on 27% rakeback as they dock 27% of it due to you being on that system.

About 95% sure this is against their TOS, but that doesn't mean it's enforced or noticed often. Regardless, seems pretty dumb to post that in their sub forum.
