Club poker apps, from the operator's side.

ClubGG Global · GGPoker / NSUS

ClubGG is free-to-play with no on-platform cashier: chips carry no platform value, so the real money lives at the club and agent level, off-platform. Rake is host-set, typically 3–5% capped between 0.1 and 3 BB. The operator-defining fact is what ClubGG inherits from GGPoker — a hard line on third-party software: only the built-in Smart HUD and PokerCraft are allowed, there's no external HUD or tracker ecosystem (GGPoker banned all third-party tools on 15 October 2026), so there's less off-the-shelf tooling to lean on and more that has to run through managed infrastructure. We published the first ClubGG bot case on the market, and our measured numbers are real: one super-agent network we run logged 27 downline accounts, 20,587 hands and HK$68,913 of rake in a single week, with a smaller 9-account agent at 5,651 hands and HK$12,597.

PokerBros US-led · Hong Kong

Run by Thinklean Limited under Hong Kong law — officially play-money, with chips settled off-platform through agents and no document KYC. Clubs group into unions, rake is operator-set and unions take a cut (up to ~10%), and the liquidity is US-centric: the US evening, with Paradise Union peaking 20:00–08:00 CET. Its enforcement is the most concrete of any club app — the Game Integrity BROS team runs a Live Alert Engine (a 97% proactive-detection rate, their figure) and a per-table photo check where a slider pops up mid-game, you have 15 seconds to align it, and three failures pull a ring-game seat; GPS also blocks two players within 500 m from the same table. Unions are volatile here — Diamond Union, long the best-known name on PokerBros, shut down in December 2025. Our bot's measured PokerBros play at NL200 ran between 193 and 582 BB/100 across six weeks — that 3× spread is pure small-sample variance over 94–387 hands a week, which is exactly why we sell an operation, not a lucky screenshot.

PPPoker Asia · CIS · Europe

The oldest club app — founded in 2016 by AceKing Tech, with players in 100+ countries — and the one that made the club-union model mainstream: its Club ID system pools independent clubs into unions that share one lobby while each keeps its own rake, players and brand. Rake is host-set (commonly 5%, capped at 2–3 BB, no-flop-no-drop) and negotiated down the agent chain, where rakeback usually runs 35–50%; configurability and union politics are the highest of any club app, and enforcement is decentralised — each union runs its own integrity checks rather than a platform-wide sweep. It's the PLO capital, with the broadest confirmed Omaha ladder — PLO4, PLO5, PLO6 and PLO8 — plus Short Deck, OFC and All-in-or-Fold. Liquidity pools across Asian, CIS and European time zones, so the dead window is the lull between the Asian wind-down and the European morning.

Suprema Poker Brazil · LATAM · BRL

A PPPoker spin-off (2021) built for the Brazilian and Portuguese-speaking market, now its own B2B ecosystem run by a Brazilian operator in Sorocaba that claims 300 clubs across 70+ countries. Clubs group into two big named unions — Liga Suprema (1,300+ average tables) and Principal|infinity (750+), both around 40–45% rakeback. The local hook is the money rail: stakes are shown in BRL, but there's no in-app cashier and no KYC — settlement runs off-platform in crypto (USDT) through agents, and integrity is outsourced to an external body, Security PKR, with mandatory 2FA. The field is recreational and PLO-heavy — PLO5 and PLO6 are the signature action, alongside Suprema-only side games like Rodeo and Cucurucho — and the SPS tournament series posts R$50–100M guarantees. Coverage here is a local operation tuned to the language, currency and rhythm of a Brazilian club, not a global template dropped in.

HHPoker Asia · China-centric

A China-born, Chinese-language club app with a mainly Chinese-speaking player base — the former PokerMaster (德扑圈), now distributed under the HHPoker brand. It lives largely in closed chat groups, and you install it from the operator's direct links rather than the app stores. Clubs sit inside regional alliances, and the format list is distinctly from the Chinese scene: Hold'em, Short Deck, Omaha, Pineapple, "Texas cowboy" and Push-the-Lot alongside MTTs. The field runs tougher than the Western recreational apps — we rate it a medium field with medium anti-bot — and we run Hold'em here. The managed-liquidity case is concrete: in one HHPoker club, adding 15 AI accounts to about 50 real players over three months lifted rake by ~60%, grew new players by ~35%, and moved retention from 30% to 52%, with tables live around the clock.

X-Poker Asia + LATAM · BRL

Asian-rooted (launched around 2020, with Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese alongside Russian, Portuguese and Spanish) but carrying a strong Brazilian downline layer — the agent back-office runs in Portuguese ("Sócio", "Dados de Agente") and settles in BRL. It's the toughest field and strictest anti-bot of the club rooms we cover, and correspondingly the broadest we support: NLH, PLO4/5/6, OFC, MTT and All-in-or-Fold, PLO-heavy with Bomb Pot, Double Board and Hi-Lo. The client has its own wrinkles — a "Rathole" minimum-sit timer and on-table EV table-colouring. Our measured X-Poker runs on the agent model in BRL: across 15–24 downline accounts, weekly rake of roughly R$11,000–12,000 and over 200,000 BRL cumulative — and the seats run close to break-even on winnings while generating that rake, which is the model working as designed: presence and rake, not extraction.

WePoker China · domestic

The name rhymes with WeChat for a reason: WePoker (微扑克, WPK) is a Chinese-language club app built for the same Chinese-speaking audience as HHPoker. The field is soft, local and Mandarin-first — among the easier pools we see. We run it on request, with coverage profiled for the domestic pool rather than a global template.

Pokerrrr 2 Asia-global

Built by Mondraw in Hong Kong, with Asia-global reach and a solid US following — around 29,000 ratings on the US App Store. Our partner data shows where it actually lives: NLH clubs in Mongolian tugrik at 1,250/2,500 and 2,500/5,000, where a single game's rake runs from about 210,000 to 2.1 million MNT, alongside PLO clubs in US dollars and Indian rupees. It also carries Open-Face Chinese next to NLH and PLO, so multi-format coverage matters more here than on a single-game club; it's one of the rooms we already run.

Pokerman Mongolia · LatAm

Pokerman (Planck Tech Limited, live since 2022, 100K+ Android installs) is built as a free "poker with friends" app: club chips are unlimited, a free club level holds up to 9,999 members, and its terms say virtual goods carry no monetary value. What a chip is worth is set by the club — the Mongolian clubs we see run in tugrik, a Latin American club we worked with in local currency. The format list is wide for a small app: NLH, 6+, PLO 4/5/6 with Hi/Lo, Double Board and Bomb Pot, OFC, mixed games, SNG and MTT. The terms have no bot or collusion clause, so table integrity sits with the club owner. That Latin American club is a clean lesson in the empty-table problem: paid social brought in around 100 sign-ups in a few days, yet the owner estimated 95% didn't return when visible traffic looked thin — a couple of seats per table doesn't hold newcomers; a lobby that looks busy does.

PokerBoss India · UK operator

Run by Zaptech Media Limited — a UK company under English law, with its support office in Delhi — PokerBoss launched in 2026, has passed 10K Android installs and carries a GLI-certified RNG. It's play-money by its terms: club chips can't be bought; the owner transfers Blue Chips to members and the platform takes 5% on top (100 chips cost the owner 105), and since a July update table fees can be uncapped. Clubs run a five-tier hierarchy — Admin, Manager, Super-Agent, Agent, Player — with member capacity tied to the club level, entry by club ID plus referral code, and optional IP and GPS restrictions; owners can flag high-value players and open tables just for them, across NLH, PLO 4/5/6, OFC, AoF, Flash and Super Hold'em. Its terms ban bots, scripts and any AI assistance outright, backed by automated monitoring of behaviour, device, IP and GPS.

PokerNex Asia · APK / iOS / web

Operated, per its terms, by Breeds Tech Limited (Hong Kong law outside the US), PokerNex launched in 2024 on a client built from the UPoker codebase and ships as a direct-download APK, an iOS app and a web client — it isn't on Google Play. Officially it's play-money: the terms ban real-money use and the sale of virtual items, so real-chip games live inside clubs, unions and super unions, with agents and superagents sending out and claiming back credits. Integrity works on two levels: the platform's terms ban bots and automation outright and cap accounts at five per device every 30 days, while hosts hold the table switches — per-table IP and GPS restriction, puzzle verification, emulator and PC bans. The base is small and Asia-leaning — roughly 33 App Store ratings worldwide, most from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Malaysia — with regional games like Pusoy and Tien Len next to Hold'em. In our experience it's the union, not the club, that has the last word on who sits.

PokerShip New · Android / iOS / Windows

PokerShip went live at the turn of 2025–2026 — Google Play in late November, iOS on Christmas Day — and its RNG holds a GLI Certificate of Integrity dated 24 November 2025, issued to Mad Pig Tech Limited, its Android publisher. It ships a native Windows installer alongside Android and iOS. Its terms describe social play-money only; the launch build moved chips through club counters with send-out and claim-back flows and a superagent ledger, with clubs stacking into unions and super unions, across Hold'em, Omaha, 6+ Short Deck, Pusoy, OFC, MTT and SNG. The terms carry no clause on bots or third-party software, while that build shipped a captcha module, GPS join checks and emulator detection. Scale is still small — 5K+ Play installs — and since mid-2026 top-ups go through agents only.

DPZX China · domestic

A China-domestic app serving local clubs. We cover it on request as concrete operator demand surfaces, with the same per-club calibration we run everywhere else.

Poker Now US · browser

The odd one out on delivery: Poker Now runs entirely in a browser window — a host sets blinds and stacks, shares a link, and up to ten players join from phone or desktop with no download or sign-up, video and voice built in. Underneath, it's the same self-run club model as the apps above: operated by Rio Gaming, Inc. of Boston, officially the chips carry no monetary value, but in practice the club owner decides what a chip is worth and settles with players off-platform. Rake is a host switch — a percentage plus an optional per-pot cap, enabled with Rake Credits — and a per-session ledger tracks buy-ins, buy-outs and net per player, exportable to CSV. Club tooling is paid: Plus ($9.99/mo) gives two clubs of 10 members, Platinum ($49.99/mo) ten clubs of 100 with club MTTs and Sit & Gos, transaction logs and admin roles, and Discord servers can run as clubs through its bot. Small, private and link-based, these clubs live or die on whether the table is running when a player opens the link.
