How to Create Your Own Club on ClubGG

Any player can create a club on ClubGG — it's free and takes a couple of minutes. The hard part is everything that comes after: accepting players, setting up tables and rake, distributing chips and building an agent structure.

We've broken the whole process into steps and sections. Each step has its own page: what to tap, what to choose, what to watch out for and the most common mistakes. Follow them in order or jump straight to the step you need from the list.

Button names are given as they appear in the English ClubGG interface. In newer versions of the app the layout may differ slightly, but the logic stays the same.
