Restrict Access for Player: limiting a player’s stakes

How to limit a player’s cash game stakes by big blind (NLH, PLO, PLO5, PLO6, 6+) and tournament buy-ins (MTT, SNG, freerolls) — or close all games to them.

Members → player → Member Detail → Player Management → Restrict Access for Player

Restrict Access for Player limits which games a player can join. You set a range, and the player can’t sit at tables outside it. Cash games are limited by big blind for each game type, tournaments by buy-in.

The default is Min 0 and Max 99,999,999 — any stakes. Set, say, Max 4 for NLH and the player can only join tables up to 2/4. Min 0 and Max 0 closes the game completely. If Min is greater than Max, games are closed too.

Why use it: keep a newcomer off high stakes until you know them; limit a player who asks you to close big games to them; stop an agent’s player playing above their credit; temporarily block access while a dispute is sorted out.

How Min and Max work — the ClubGG hint

  • 10 — Min 0 ~ Max 99,999,999 — all stakes are open.
  • Min 0 ~ Max 4 — only tables up to 2/4; nothing above 2/4.
  • Min 0 ~ Max 0 — all games closed.
  • If Min is greater than Max — all games are closed too.
For new players with no history you can set Max at micro stakes and raise it as trust grows.
Restrictions stay until you remove them — note in Note why and when you set them.
