Gammon Empire review
I played at Play65 already and when I tried to sign up here, I found that they are obvioulsy linked very closely and use the same database, because I could not use my usual user name, saying that it was already taken. Also, because I tried on the same computer, I used a different name, but found that my skill points were carried over to my new account.
Basically, whichever one you sign up at, you will get the same promotions and tournaments and therefore not necessary to try out both.
Essentially, it is not a bad thing for them to share the database, because you will have more people to play against, I would personally have felt netter knowing this from the word go.
Anyway, you can take part in tournaments and move on to bigger offline ones like the Riviera's Challenge in Cannes. Keep an eye on the tournaments section of their website for more information and more tournaments to take part in.
