The comparison in one table
The ClubGG column is sourced from ClubGG's own pages. This handbook covers ClubGG only, so the GGPoker column sticks to what ClubGG's pages and our research brief say about it. For anything else about GGPoker, check its own site.
| ClubGG | GGPoker | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A free-play social app built around private clubs and unions | A real-money online poker room, licensed in certain countries |
| Real money | No. ToS §7 “FREE PLAY ONLY”: no deposits, and chips have no monetary value. | Yes, where it's licensed. In the Netherlands, for example, it holds a Ksa licence renewed from 1 Oct 2026. |
| Where games live | Inside clubs. You join with a Club ID and wait for approval. The Club Master and their managers set the games. | Not covered here |
| Operator named on its site | NSUS Group Inc (legal address in Ontario, Canada) | Not covered here |
| Login | GG Pass. The “My Account” menu became “My GGPass” in October 2026. | GG Pass |
| Paid extras | WSOP+ membership ($9.99 / $49.99 a month), Diamonds, Club Levels | Not covered here |
| Prizes | Tournament tickets under sweepstakes rules, with a free mail-in entry | Real-money winnings where licensed |
| Player tools | PokerCraft, Smart HUD, Rabbit Hunt and others, listed as WSOP+ features; EV Cashout | Not covered here |
| Signature formats | Hold'em, Omaha, 5-Card Omaha, Short Deck, Cucurucho, club tournaments | Spin & Gold and Rush & Cash are GGPoker products. We found no sign of them on ClubGG. |
“Not the same service”: why ClubGG says so
ClubGG's About Us page says it was “created by the biggest poker network in the world, GGPoker Network”. Its media guideline for clubs and unions then tells them to “avoid language that implies ClubGG is equivalent to or part of GGPoker”, and states plainly that “GGPoker and ClubGG are not the same service.” In practice:
- Different money model. ClubGG takes no deposits. Anything a club says about real money happens outside both apps. See is ClubGG real money?
- Different terms. ClubGG has its own terms of service, written mainly for the US, with its own list of excluded states. See where ClubGG is legal.
- Different support. ClubGG support is support@clubgg.com. Don't send ClubGG club problems to GGPoker, or the other way round.
What GG Pass shares, and what it doesn't
| Shared through GG Pass | Stays on one side |
|---|---|
| Your login: one GG Pass account works for both | ClubGG club memberships, roles and club chips |
| WSOP+ membership, which is shared across WSOP+ and ClubGG | GGPoker balances and real-money activity, plus each service's own terms and eligibility rules |
Already have a GGPoker account? Sign in to ClubGG with it instead of making a second GG Pass. ClubGG's terms allow one account per person.
Where the two connect
The GGPoker freeroll club (222222)
ClubGG runs a freeroll for GGPoker players in club 222222. Its page lists “T$500 + 10x WSOP+ Premium Memberships”, with the top 10 on the leaderboard each getting T$50 and a Premium membership. The page says “GGPoker account holders eligible only”, and it isn't dated, so check it's still running before you join. How to enter is in free tournaments.
Live Dollar to GGPoker Live Dollar
ClubGG's how-to page says Stage 3 of the membership ladder awards “Live Dollar”. You can use it to register for live events, or convert it to “GGPoker Live Dollar” if you have a GGPoker account where GGPoker is available. That's a one-way link from a ClubGG prize. You can't move club chips into GGPoker.
Shared look and feel
ClubGG's October 2026 update standardised the tournament clock “across GG brands”. Several of its tools, such as PokerCraft and Smart HUD, have GG names. A shared design doesn't mean shared rules: ClubGG's terms, eligibility list and support apply to ClubGG alone.
Common mix-ups, and what to do
| If this happens… | It's because… | Try this |
|---|---|---|
| You signed in to ClubGG with your GGPoker login and see no tables | ClubGG has no shared lobby. Games live inside clubs. | Get a Club ID from the host and enter it under “Search Club”, then wait for approval. |
| Your GGPoker balance isn't showing in ClubGG | ClubGG takes no deposits and shows no real-money balance. | Nothing is wrong. Your GGPoker account is untouched. |
| You already pay for WSOP+ but ClubGG doesn't show it | Membership is shared through one GG Pass account. | Check you're signed in to ClubGG with the same GG Pass you used to buy it. |
| The freeroll in club 222222 won't accept you | Its page says “GGPoker account holders eligible only”. | You need a GGPoker account, and the event must still be running. |
| Someone says a club is “GGPoker's real-money version” | ClubGG says it is not the same service as GGPoker, and it has no real money. | Treat it as a red flag, especially if money is involved. |
| You need help with a club problem | ClubGG has its own support. | Write to support@clubgg.com and include the Club ID. |
Which one fits what you want?
| You want to… | Look at |
|---|---|
| Run a private home game for friends, with your own tables and schedule | ClubGG. See hosting a club. |
| Join a game a friend set up and sent you an ID for | ClubGG. Enter the Club ID under “Search Club”. |
| Play poker with no money involved | ClubGG, played as intended |
| Try for WSOP-branded event tickets through a membership | ClubGG with WSOP+, if you're eligible where you live |
| Play for real money | Not ClubGG. Check whether real-money online poker is legal and licensed where you live, and use only an operator on your regulator's list. |
