How to Create Your Own Club on PPPoker

Any player can create a club on PPPoker — for free, with the house-with-plus icon on the home screen. The hard part is everything after: accepting players, setting up tables and rake, issuing chips through the Counter and, if you want, joining other clubs in a union.

We've split the whole process into separate pages: every club feature gets its own step with screenshots and an explanation next to each screen. Follow them in order or open what you need from the menu on the left: “Creating a table”, “Members”, “Counter”, “Admin” and “Union” are folders with detailed pages.

The key difference from ClubGG is that the club Counter isn’t free: club chips (PP) are bought with diamonds, and the app takes 5% on every chip send-out. Button names are given as in the English PPPoker interface; newer versions may move things around slightly, but the logic stays the same.

How to remove the 5% fee and most costs. PPPoker offers an “all-inclusive” contract: the club pays a deposit and gets unlimited chips, an unlimited club level (Club Rating) and automatic table opening; instead of buying chips and paying 5% per send-out, it pays PPPoker a share of the club’s rake every week. Want your club on these terms? Contact us and we’ll help set it up.

Common owner mistakes

  • Not building the 5% fee on every chip send-out into the club’s economics — and running the club at a loss.
  • Handing out the starting chips before reaching 10 members — PP chips can’t be topped up until then.
  • Creating a union in a club holding PP chips — the club’s chip balance was reset to zero.
  • Leaving empty union tables open with Auto Extension — diamonds are charged for every hour.
  • Turning off GPS and IP Restriction on an open table — and letting multi-accounts sit together.
  • Disbanding the club (Disband Club) to “start over” — the club, its members and chips are deleted for good.

Questions and answers

How much does it cost to create a club on PPPoker?

Creating a club is free — with the house-with-plus icon on the Club card. What costs money is the club level (Club Rating: from 1,500 diamonds for 60 members for 30 days), PP club chips and union tables (diamonds per hour).

How many clubs can I create on one account?

Without VIP or with a Silver card — 1 club of your own; with VIP Black or Platinum — up to 3.

Is there a fee for issuing chips?

Yes: on every chip send-out from the club Counter the app takes 5%, paid by the club. Tournament tickets carry 5% too.

Why can’t I top up the club’s chips?

Only a club with at least 10 members can buy PP Chips. Otherwise the app says “Failed to exchange PP Chips as the club has fewer than 10 members”.

How much does it cost to create a union?

Nothing: in your club’s Union tab tap Create, enter a name and Confirm — the union is created instantly. Only union cash tables cost money — from 4 diamonds an hour at 0.02/0.04.

How do I delete a club?

Via Admin → Disband Club, confirmed by entering the club ID. It can’t be undone: the club, its members and club chips are deleted.
