Want to create a club on ClubGG? You can set up your own private poker community for free, invite friends using a unique Club ID, organize poker tables and tournaments, and assign administrators to help manage everything.
But creating a ClubGG club is only the beginning.
Once people start joining, you’ll need to understand who can approve new members, change table settings, manage virtual chips, appoint agents, and control access to club information.
ClubGG uses a specific management hierarchy. The person who creates the club becomes its Club Master. That person can appoint Club Managers, organize Agents and Super Agents, and manage Players.
However, these roles are not interchangeable.
A Club Manager can have extensive administrative access, while an Agent primarily manages a specific group of players. A Super Agent can supervise both Agents and Players, and ordinary Players are members who participate in the club’s games.
There are also important limits. ClubGG allows a maximum of three created clubs per account under its published account guidance, and a new club begins with a basic membership-capacity level.
This complete 2026 guide explains how to create a ClubGG club, invite members, set up your first tables, manage roles and permissions, and avoid common administration mistakes.
How to Create a Club on ClubGG: Quick Answer
Creating a private ClubGG club is free. You do not need to join an existing Union or purchase a premium membership simply to create your own basic club.
The basic process is:
- Download the official ClubGG application and create an account.
- Open the Club section from the main lobby.
- Select the option to create a new club.
- Choose a unique club name and profile image.
- Complete the creation process to receive your Club ID.
- Share the Club ID with friends or prospective members.
- Configure how membership applications are approved.
- Create your first poker table or tournament.
After creation, your account becomes the Club Master, giving you the highest level of administration within that individual club.
These creation steps are described in an independent ClubGG setup guide reviewed against official documentation in October 2026. Exact interface labels may vary across app versions.
Step 1: Download ClubGG and Create an Account
Start by installing ClubGG from the official ClubGG website or a supported official app store.
ClubGG supports private social poker clubs, allowing members to organize games within individual communities rather than relying entirely on a public tournament lobby.
According to ClubGG’s official account documentation, the platform uses GGPass for account authentication.
If you already have a compatible GGNetwork account, you may be able to use those credentials to begin registration.
Otherwise, create an account through the supported registration options.
Before continuing, verify that you are using the official application rather than an installer distributed by an unknown third party.
For platform-specific installation instructions, see our ClubGG Download Guide for PC, Mac, Android and iPhone.
Step 2: Create Your Private Poker Club
After signing in, locate the Club area in the main lobby.
Select the option to create a new club.
The setup process allows you to establish the club’s identity, including its name and profile image.
Choose a Club Name
Your club name should be distinctive and recognizable to its intended members.
For example, a small friends-only poker group might use a name reflecting its community rather than a generic poker-room title.
However, ClubGG’s brand guidelines prohibit misleading naming practices.
In particular, do not choose a name that impersonates ClubGG, GGPoker, or an officially endorsed operator.
ClubGG’s official Media Guideline advises clubs to use their own names and branding rather than imply a partnership with ClubGG.
Choose a Club Image
The club image helps members recognize the community in their ClubGG lobby.
Choose an image you own or have permission to use.
Avoid copying the official ClubGG logo or using unauthorized third-party trademarks.
According to published setup documentation, administrators can later update the club image through the edit control on the club avatar.
Finish Creating Your Club
Complete the creation process using the available interface controls.
Once the club exists, ClubGG assigns a unique Club ID.
You can use that identifier to help members find and apply to your club.
Creating the club also establishes your administrative role automatically.
The creator becomes the Club Master.
Step 3: Find Your ClubGG Club ID and Invite Members
Every ClubGG club has a unique six-digit Club ID.
This identifier allows other users to find a particular club without needing to search through unrelated communities.
For example, a club owner can share the ID with friends, who can then locate the club through the ClubGG application.
However, a Club ID is not the same as a player’s account ID or a promotional code.
How to Invite Players to Your ClubGG Club
- Open the club you created.
- Locate its six-digit Club ID.
- Use the share feature, where available, or copy the ID.
- Send the ID to the people you want to invite.
- Ask them to open ClubGG and search for the club using that ID.
- Have them submit a membership application if required.
- Approve the request through the club’s membership-management section.
Some interfaces also provide direct sharing links.
However, the receiving player must still satisfy the application’s account and club eligibility requirements.
Our ClubGG Club Code and Invite Guide explains the joining process from the player’s perspective.
Step 4: Approve or Reject ClubGG Membership Requests
Once people begin applying, the Club Master can control how new members enter the club.
ClubGG supports a membership application process in which the Club Master or an authorized Club Manager reviews requests.
Published administration guides also describe an Auto Approve option.
Manual Approval vs Auto Approve
| Setting | How It Works | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Manual Approval | Authorized administrators review requests before accepting members | Clubs that want greater control over membership |
| Auto Approve | Applicants who use the club’s ID may be accepted automatically | Small, trusted groups where invitations are closely controlled |
Manual approval provides an additional opportunity to verify that someone belongs in the community.
However, it also requires an authorized administrator to monitor incoming requests.
Auto Approve reduces administrative work but can become less suitable if the Club ID is widely shared.
Where Do You Find ClubGG Membership Requests?
Published administration instructions describe the following path:
Club Menu → Members → Applicants List
Authorized administrators can review pending applications and accept or decline members.
However, the exact menu wording may differ depending on the device and software version.
ClubGG Roles Explained: Master, Manager, Super Agent, Agent and Player
Understanding the management hierarchy is one of the most important parts of running a ClubGG club.
ClubGG officially identifies four main Club-level roles: Club Master, Club Manager, Agent and Player.
However, the Agent hierarchy can include an additional role called Super Agent.
That creates a more detailed operational structure:
Club Master → Club Manager → Super Agent → Agent → Player
The roles serve different functions. Club Managers provide broader administrative assistance, while Agents and Super Agents manage specific member groups.
The structure is described in ClubGG’s official guide to club roles.
ClubGG Roles and Permissions Comparison
| Role | Main Responsibility | Access Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Club Master | Overall club administration and assignment of permissions | Highest club-level authority |
| Club Manager | Assists with club administration | Broad administrative access, adjustable by the Club Master |
| Super Agent | Manages Agents and Players in an assigned downline | Assigned downline and allocated resources |
| Agent | Manages Players in an assigned downline | Assigned Players and allocated resources |
| Player | Participates in club games and tournaments | Ordinary club membership |
Not every club needs Managers, Agents and Super Agents.
A small group of friends can operate with one Club Master and ordinary Players.
More complex structures may become useful when a club grows.
What Is a ClubGG Club Master?
The Club Master is the highest administrative authority within an individual ClubGG club.
The person who creates the club initially holds this role.
Depending on the available features and configuration, the Club Master can manage membership, appoint Managers, organize Agents, configure games, adjust club settings, and review reports.
Importantly, the Club Master controls the permissions assigned to other administrative roles.
Is Club Master the Same as Club Owner?
In everyday conversation, players may call the person running a club its owner.
However, Club Master is the official ClubGG role name.
Club Owner is an informal expression rather than a separate permission level.
The distinction matters when dealing with technical permissions, because the app uses specific official roles.
ClubGG explains this in its Club Master and Club Owner terminology guide.
How Many Club Masters Can a Club Have?
Each individual club has one Club Master.
However, that Master can appoint multiple Club Managers to assist with administration.
Therefore, a club does not need several Masters in order to divide operational responsibilities.
What Can a ClubGG Club Manager Do?
A Club Manager is appointed by the Club Master to help operate the club.
This is the highest role a Club Master can assign to another member.
ClubGG’s official documentation states that a newly appointed Manager starts with the same management capabilities as the Club Master, with two important exceptions.
A Manager cannot independently request Union creation or disband the club.
Furthermore, the Club Master can remove individual permissions from a Manager.
Club Master vs Club Manager Permissions
| Capability | Club Master | Club Manager |
|---|---|---|
| Manage club members | Yes | With appropriate permissions |
| Approve membership requests | Yes | With appropriate permissions |
| Manage games and tournaments | Yes | With appropriate permissions |
| Manage Agent structures | Yes | With appropriate permissions |
| Access club reports | Yes | With appropriate permissions |
| Request Union creation | Yes, subject to eligibility | No |
| Disband the club | Yes | No |
| Set Manager permissions | Yes | Controlled by Club Master |
Important: Manager access is broad by default. A Club Master should review and restrict unnecessary permissions immediately after appointing a Manager.
For example, a trusted member who only needs to help approve applications may not need access to every available management function.
How to Appoint a ClubGG Manager
The Club Master should use the club’s member-management and role-assignment controls.
A practical process is:
- Open the Club Administration area.
- Find the member you want to appoint.
- Review that member’s current role.
- Select the available role-management option.
- Assign Club Manager.
- Review the Manager’s default permissions.
- Disable access that is unnecessary for the assigned responsibilities.
- Confirm the change and verify the resulting permissions.
The exact button names may differ between app versions.
ClubGG’s official documentation confirms the role-assignment and permission model, but does not establish one universal screen sequence for every device.
What Is a ClubGG Agent?
A ClubGG Agent is responsible for managing and supporting a defined group of Players.
That assigned group is called the Agent’s downline.
Unlike a Club Manager, an Agent does not automatically receive broad administrative control over the entire club.
Instead, the Agent works within the limits of the assigned player structure and available permissions.
What Can a ClubGG Agent Manage?
According to ClubGG’s official Agent explanation, an Agent can supervise Players within their downline.
The role can also include granting virtual Club chips to assigned Players using chips already allocated to the Agent.
However, Agents do not have unlimited authority to generate chips or manage unrelated players.
If an Agent needs additional allocated Club chips, the request follows the relevant hierarchy.
Furthermore, restrictions applied to an Agent can also affect Players within that Agent’s downline.
Our ClubGG Agent vs Direct Play Guide explores how an Agent relationship differs from joining a club as an ordinary Player. For a player-side view, see our guide to trusted ClubGG agents.
What Is a ClubGG Super Agent?
A Super Agent occupies an administrative level above ordinary Agents in the downline hierarchy.
The main difference concerns whom the role can supervise.
An Agent manages Players. A Super Agent can manage Agents and Players.
For example, imagine a club with several separate member groups.
A Super Agent could oversee two Agents, each responsible for a different group of Players.
That structure can make administration easier in a larger community.
Super Agent vs Agent
| Capability | Super Agent | Agent |
|---|---|---|
| Manage assigned Players | Yes | Yes |
| Supervise assigned Agents | Yes | No |
| Grant allocated virtual Club chips within downline | Yes | Yes |
| Manage the entire Club | No automatic club-wide authority | No |
| Request additional chips | From the Club Master or authorized Manager | Through the applicable Super Agent hierarchy |
However, not every club needs a Super Agent.
For a small community, appointing unnecessary layers of management can create more complexity than value.
How Does the ClubGG Agent Downline Work?
A downline is the organizational group assigned beneath an Agent or Super Agent.
ClubGG’s official Agent Downline guide describes two common structures:
Agent → Player
Super Agent → Agent → Player
These relationships affect more than just who communicates with whom.
ClubGG supports restrictions that can flow through the downline.
For example, a game restriction applied to a Super Agent may also affect the Agents and Players assigned beneath that person.
Who Can Change an Agent’s Downline?
According to ClubGG:
- An Agent’s downline can be managed by the Club Master, an authorized Club Manager, or the relevant Super Agent.
- A Super Agent’s downline can be managed by the Club Master or an authorized Club Manager.
Before changing an Agent or Super Agent to a different role, the associated downline must first be cleared.
This prevents members from remaining assigned beneath a role that is no longer active.
Can One Member Be a Manager and an Agent at the Same Time?
No. ClubGG’s published role structure assigns one Club-level role to a member at a time.
A Manager and an Agent therefore represent separate positions.
However, a Club Master can appoint a different Manager to supervise an Agent structure.
Step 5: Create Your First ClubGG Poker Table
Once your club exists and members have been admitted, you can begin organizing games.
Authorized administrators can use the Create New Table control to set up supported ring games and tournaments.
ClubGG’s October 21, 2026 update redesigned this interface.
According to the official update notes, required settings and optional controls are now separated more clearly, with additional settings grouped under Advanced Options and Table Policies.
How to Create a Table
- Open the club using an account with game-management permissions.
- Select Create New Table.
- Choose the game variant and supported table format.
- Set the table name and available seats.
- Configure blinds and any applicable virtual chip limits.
- Review action timers and optional gameplay settings.
- Open Advanced Options or Table Policies for additional rules.
- Review all settings before creating the table.
- Use Save Template if you want to reuse the configuration.
- Create the table and check how it appears in the club lobby.
Do not assume that all settings can be changed after players begin participating.
For recurring games, saving a carefully reviewed template can help maintain consistency.
What Games Can You Host?
ClubGG supports multiple poker formats, including Texas Hold’em and Omaha variants, along with ring games and tournament-style options.
However, specific game modes and table features depend on the current version and available administration controls.
For example, the October 21 update added Cucurucho, a special game mode with an immediate flop and distinct betting conditions.
For a closer look at gameplay settings, see our guide to ClubGG VPIP and table participation. For the full list of table settings, read our ClubGG table features guide.
Step 6: Manage Club Chips and Member Activity
ClubGG uses virtual Club chips within its private social poker environment.
These are play chips with no value outside the app.
Nevertheless, club administrators still need to manage virtual chip allocation carefully.
For example, Club Managers have broad access to Club chip administration under the official permissions model.
Super Agents and Agents, by contrast, can grant chips within their assigned downlines using their allocated virtual chip resources.
Why Chip Permissions Matter
Imagine a Club Master appointing several Managers but leaving every administrative permission enabled.
Each Manager may have much broader access than necessary for their assigned work.
That can make it difficult to determine who is responsible for particular administrative changes.
Instead, the Master should define clear responsibilities and review the available controls.
For example, a member responsible only for organizing games may not need unrestricted access to unrelated club-management functions.
ClubGG also documents Agent Win/Loss Limits that can apply to an Agent or Super Agent and the members within their downline.
These are platform-management controls involving virtual club gameplay results, and they only affect play chips inside the app.
Step 7: Choose the Right ClubGG Club Level
When first created, a ClubGG club begins with a Free Level membership-capacity allowance.
If the club grows beyond that allowance, administrators can review paid Club Level upgrades.
Importantly, Club Level is not the same as an individual’s poker skill, a tournament blind level, or a player’s membership subscription.
ClubGG Club Level Capacity Chart
| Club Level | Published Member Capacity |
|---|---|
| Free Level | 100 |
| Level 1 | 250 |
| Level 2 | 500 |
| Level 3 | 1,000 |
| Level 4 | 2,500 |
| Level 5 | 5,000 |
| Level 6 | 10,000 |
| Level 7 | 15,000 |
| Level 8 | 20,000 |
| Level 9 | 50,000 |
These figures come from an independent October 2026 review of ClubGG’s published Club Level help documentation. Always verify current limits and pricing inside the app before purchasing a subscription.
According to that documentation, authorized administrators can review upgrades through Club Admin, Club Level and Change Club Level.
However, a higher Club Level does not automatically mean more active games or a better playing experience.
It primarily increases the number of club members supported.
Club Level is also different from an individual membership: see our ClubGG Platinum Membership guide, and for how table size relates to Club Level, our ClubGG table features guide.
Can a ClubGG Club Join a Union?
Yes. A ClubGG club can operate independently or become affiliated with a Union.
A Union connects multiple clubs within a shared organizational framework.
However, joining a Union does not automatically eliminate the individual club’s management structure.
Each affiliated club continues to have its Club Master, Managers, Agents and Players.
Union-wide administration operates at an additional level.
Club vs Union
| Feature | Independent Club | Union-Affiliated Club |
|---|---|---|
| Primary management | Club Master | Club Master plus Union administration |
| Organizational scope | Individual club | Several connected clubs |
| Rules | Club’s applicable settings | Club operations within Union-wide rules |
| Administrative complexity | Generally simpler | Additional coordination required |
| Required for a new club? | No | No |
ClubGG’s official Union documentation also notes that joining a Union can affect gameplay data and reporting.
Therefore, do not treat Union membership as a purely cosmetic change.
For additional background, read our ClubGG Unions Guide 2026.
How to Manage a ClubGG Club Successfully
Creating a club is relatively straightforward. Maintaining a well-organized community requires more attention.
A good starting point is to establish clear administration responsibilities.
Keep Administrative Permissions Limited
Club Managers begin with broad permissions, so the Club Master should review their access carefully.
Do not appoint someone as a Manager merely because they need to participate in games or communicate with members.
Use the Player and Agent roles where those better match the actual responsibilities.
Review Membership Requests Regularly
For clubs using manual approval, avoid leaving applications unanswered indefinitely.
Ensure at least one authorized administrator understands the membership-review process.
For clubs using Auto Approve, remember that sharing the Club ID widely can increase the number of applicants entering the community.
Publish Consistent Game Schedules
Players benefit from knowing when tables and tournaments are available.
Instead of creating many inactive tables, consider scheduling games around actual member availability.
For example, a smaller club may benefit from one dependable weekly tournament rather than several poorly attended events.
This is an operational recommendation, not a requirement imposed by ClubGG.
Monitor Game Integrity
Club administrators should take reports of collusion, prohibited automation, multi-accounting and other suspicious activity seriously.
However, unusual results alone do not prove that someone is cheating.
Preserve relevant game information and use the operator’s appropriate reporting procedures.
For player-facing precautions, see our ClubGG Safety and Legitimacy Guide.
How Many ClubGG Clubs Can You Create?
Published ClubGG setup guidance reviewed in October 2026 states that one account can create up to three clubs and join up to 40 clubs.
These are account limits, not membership-capacity limits.
For example, creating three clubs does not mean each club automatically receives a paid membership-capacity upgrade.
Likewise, joining 40 clubs does not make you a Club Manager or Agent in those communities.
Each club has its own membership and role assignments.
Check the current application help if you encounter a limit or unexpected error during creation.
Can You Transfer Ownership of a ClubGG Club?
This question requires care because ClubGG uses the official term Club Master rather than Club Owner.
ClubGG’s published Union-role explanation states that the Club Master role cannot be transferred.
Therefore, do not assume that appointing someone as Club Manager transfers ownership or makes them the new Club Master.
Giving another person your login credentials is not an appropriate substitute for an official role-transfer process.
If you need to change who controls an existing club, consult ClubGG support about the options available for your circumstances.
Do not disband an established club merely to attempt an ownership change without understanding the consequences.
How to Delete or Disband a ClubGG Club
Disbanding a club is different from leaving a club as an ordinary member.
ClubGG’s published setup guidance describes a Disband Club control under Club Admin.
However, the action is irreversible and can delete the club’s data, including its virtual Club chips.
The Club Master holds this authority; ordinary Club Managers cannot independently disband the club.
Before considering deletion, review outstanding administrative responsibilities and preserve any records you are permitted to export.
Also check whether an existing Club Level subscription requires separate cancellation through the original purchase platform.
ClubGG vs PokerBros: Is Creating a Club the Same?
ClubGG and PokerBros both offer private-club environments, but their applications, permission systems and club-management tools are not identical.
For example, ClubGG uses the formal Club Master role and a documented hierarchy involving Managers, Super Agents, Agents and Players.
Both applications allow administrators to organize private games and invite members through club identifiers.
However, a person familiar with PokerBros should not assume that an Agent on ClubGG automatically receives the same permissions as an Agent on PokerBros.
The safest approach is to learn the role structure of the specific application before assigning access.
We have a separate step-by-step PokerBros club creation guide for players who want to compare the setup processes.
Common Mistakes When Creating a ClubGG Club
1. Giving Every Trusted Member Manager Access
Trust is important, but permissions should match actual responsibilities.
A Manager begins with extensive administrative capabilities, so assigning the role unnecessarily can create avoidable risk.
2. Confusing Agents With Club Managers
Agents manage assigned downlines. Club Managers help administer the club itself.
Those are different functions with different access scopes.
3. Sharing Your Club ID Without Reviewing Approval Settings
If Auto Approve is enabled, sharing the Club ID more widely may allow unexpected members to join.
Review the approval configuration before promoting your club.
4. Creating Too Many Tables Too Early
A newly created club with few members may struggle to fill multiple games simultaneously.
Start with formats your members actually want to play.
5. Treating Club Chips as Anything More Than Play Chips
ClubGG describes its Club environment as free-to-play social poker.
Club chips are play chips with no value outside the app.
Follow ClubGG’s Terms of Service and Media Guideline when you run and promote your club.

What does a ClubGG Super Agent do?
A Super Agent manages both Agents and Players in an assigned downline. An ordinary Agent manages Players.
Can a ClubGG Agent create poker tables?
Agents do not automatically have club-wide table-management authority simply because they hold the Agent role. Table creation depends on the applicable permissions and administrative configuration.
How do I add a Manager on ClubGG?
As Club Master, open the relevant member-management controls, select a member, assign the Club Manager role, and review the permissions granted. Exact menu labels vary by app version.
How do players join my ClubGG club?

What is Auto Approve on ClubGG?
Auto Approve is a membership setting described in published administration guides that allows eligible applicants to be accepted without individual manual approval.
Can I change my ClubGG club name?
Published setup guidance states that club names can be changed, provided the new name is unique and follows the platform’s naming requirements.
What does ClubGG Club Level mean?
Club Level determines the membership capacity of a private club. It is different from the number of seats at a poker table or a player’s membership subscription.

Do ClubGG club chips have any value outside the app?
No. Club chips are play chips for fun inside the app, and ClubGG describes its clubs as free-to-play social poker.
Where can I get help with a ClubGG club-management problem?
Use ClubGG’s official support and help resources. Explain your current role, the affected club, and the specific permission or error message, without sharing passwords.
Final Thoughts: Start Small and Build a Well-Managed ClubGG Club
Creating a ClubGG club is straightforward. The challenge is organizing the community after people begin joining.
Start by creating a free club, choosing a recognizable identity, and sharing its six-digit Club ID with intended members.
Then decide how membership requests should be reviewed and establish your first tables.
As the community grows, ClubGG’s role structure provides different ways to delegate responsibility.
The Club Master retains the highest authority. Managers help administer the club using adjustable permissions. Super Agents oversee Agents and Players, Agents manage assigned Players, and ordinary Players participate in games.
However, a small club does not need every available management role.
Clear responsibilities, carefully controlled permissions, transparent membership policies, and consistent game organization are more important than creating a complicated hierarchy immediately.
It is also essential to understand that ClubGG is a free-to-play social poker platform and that Club chips are play chips with no value outside the app.
The bottom line: You can create a ClubGG club for free, invite members with a Club ID, configure tables, and grow the community using Club Masters, Managers, Agents and Players. The most successful setup is the one that keeps administration simple, permissions controlled, and the rules clear to everyone.
