Responsible Gaming

Poker should be entertainment. ClubGG is for adults 18+ only, and while its chips have no cash value, the time you put in and the money you spend on Diamonds and memberships are real. Here's how to tell if it's getting out of hand, and what to do about it.

18 and over only

ClubGG's terms require you to be at least 18, or older where the local legal age is higher, and the App Store rates the app 18+. Google Play lists it as “Teen”, but that doesn't change the age rule in the terms. If there are minors in your household, switch on parental controls or Screen Time on their devices to block downloads and in-app purchases.

What play money really costs

Warning signs

• Sessions keep getting longer, and you often play well past what you planned;
• after a loss you want to win it back straight away, and you move up in stakes;
• poker is cutting into your sleep, work, studies or family time;
• you hide from family or friends how long you play or how much you spend;
• you play to escape a bad mood and feel restless when you can't;
• you've started borrowing money, or you're thinking about turning chips into cash.

If two or three of these sound familiar, it's worth stepping back and taking an honest look.

Set your own limits

1. Decide on a time limit. Pick a finish time before each session and use an alarm or your phone's screen time settings to hold yourself to it.
2. Set a spending cap. Decide in advance what you'll spend on Diamonds and memberships each month, and turn on purchase authentication in the App Store or Google Play to stop impulse buys.
3. Switch off auto-renewals you don't need. WSOP+ renews every month; cancel it in your subscription settings when you're not using it.
4. Stop when you're losing. Don't raise the stakes or switch to a bigger table to chase lost chips.
5. Stay away from real-money clubs. The moment a club starts talking about “top-ups” and “cash-outs”, leave.
6. Ask your club for help. ClubGG's union back office includes daily and weekly win/loss limit tools, so you can ask your club or union admins to set limits for you.
7. Walk away completely if you need to. Leave your clubs, uninstall the app, or delete your account through the official page.

Where to get help

If you, or someone close to you, can't keep it under control, reach out early. There's no shame in it.
