ClubGG is a club-based poker app. Instead of joining one big poker site, you join clubs: private communities inside the app, each run by its own owner or manager. This guide explains how ClubGG works and walks you through joining a club, step by step.

This guide is general information, not a recommendation. Features, rules and availability can change and vary by country. Always check what’s legal where you live.

What is ClubGG?

ClubGG is a poker app from the same group behind the GGPoker network. It gives anyone the tools to run a private poker club: cash tables, tournaments and member management, all inside one app.

Key things to know:

  • You play inside clubs. Every table and tournament belongs to a club. Without a club, there’s nothing to play.
  • Each club has a Club ID. It’s a short number you enter in the app to ask to join.
  • Club owners set the rules. Games, stakes, schedules and how chips work are decided by each club, not by the app.
  • Some clubs share tables. Clubs can be linked together (often called a union), so their players meet at the same tables and bigger tournaments.

Which devices does ClubGG run on?

ClubGG has apps for iPhone and iPad (iOS), Android, and desktop (Windows and macOS). Your account works on all of them, so you can start on your phone and continue on your computer.

Only download ClubGG from official sources: the App Store, Google Play, or the link a club you trust gives you. Avoid copies from unknown websites.

What games can you play on ClubGG?

The exact games depend on the club, but ClubGG clubs commonly run:

  • No-Limit Hold’em: cash games and tournaments
  • Pot-Limit Omaha, including 5- and 6-card versions
  • Tournaments (Sit & Go and scheduled events)

How to join a club on ClubGG

  1. Download ClubGG for your device (iPhone, Android, Windows or macOS).
  2. Create your account and complete any checks the app asks for. Pick a nickname you’re happy for other players to see.
  3. Tap “Join Club” in the app.
  4. Enter the Club ID the club gave you.
  5. Enter the Referral ID if the club gave you one. It links your account to the person or community that invited you.
  6. Wait for approval. The club manager accepts your request, usually within a few hours.
  7. Get chips from the club. Chips are handled by each club, not by ClubGG. The club tells you who to contact.

Every club on our Play page shows its Club ID, Referral ID and download links in one box, with copy buttons, so you can’t mistype them.

Club ID vs Referral ID

These two are easy to mix up:

Club IDReferral ID
What it isThe club’s numberThe number of the person who invited you
Required?Yes, you can’t join without itOnly if the club asks for it
Where to enter it“Join Club” screenSame screen, in the referral field

If the app rejects an ID, check for extra spaces and that you’re entering the right number in the right field.

How chips work on ClubGG

Clubs use their own chips at their tables. How you get chips, and how you cash out, is decided by the club. Most clubs handle it through a contact, often on Telegram or WhatsApp.

Before you send anything to anyone:

  • Make sure the contact is the one the club lists. Check the username letter by letter.
  • Read the club’s rules on adding chips and cashing out.
  • Only use money you can afford to lose.

Is ClubGG safe?

ClubGG provides the software. The people running each club are independent. The app can be solid while a particular club is poorly run, so judge each club on its own. Our guide to how club apps work and 10-point checklist list the questions to ask before you join.

Frequently asked questions

Is ClubGG free to download? Yes. The app is free on iOS, Android, Windows and macOS.

Can I be in more than one club? Yes. You can join several clubs with one account and switch between them.

I lost my Club ID. Where do I find it? Clubs you’ve already joined stay in your club list. For a new club, ask the club again or check its page on our Play page.

Is ClubGG legal in my country? It depends on where you live and how the club runs. Check local laws before you play.
