Everything you need to go from stranger to seated — how the family works, how to join Chip Cartel on ClubGG, and how to make sure you're in the real thing.
Chip Cartel is a private poker club — we call it the family — that runs real-money-style games inside the ClubGG app. We're the people who run the room: we vet the players, host the tables, handle the chips, and pay out the winners. We are not the app itself, and we're not a faceless union. We're a community with a code, a hierarchy, and a promise: the tables belong to us, and the family plays fair.
When you join, you're not just downloading software. You're being seated at tables where every player has been checked, where payouts are honored, and where the more you play, the more the house shares back with you.
ClubGG is a social poker app built by the GGPoker Network — one of the biggest names in online poker. It runs on iOS, Android, and desktop, and it lets private clubs host their own games inside it. The app supplies the software and the certified card-dealing; clubs like Chip Cartel supply the players, the action, and the trust.
Because the games are run by clubs rather than the app, getting in means joining through a club, not just registering an account. That's where the family comes in. You find us, we check you, and we hand you the way inside.
Getting ready takes about five minutes. Before you reach out, it helps to have three things sorted:
Here's the whole process, start to finish. It's short by design.
Get the free app from the App Store or Google Play and create your account. Pick a username — this is the name the family will know you by.
Message us on Instagram at @chipcartelclub, or on Telegram. Tell us you want in. We don't post the club ID in public — the password moves by hand, and that's on purpose.
Once we've had a quick word, we'll give you the six-digit Club ID and, where it applies, an eight-digit referral. In the app, tap Search Club, enter the ID, and apply.
We check every application — it's how we keep bots and bad actors off the tables. Approval is usually quick. Once you're in, you're in.
We handle loading you in and cashing you out. Tell us how you'd like to play, we sort the chips, and you take your seat. Your first hand is your initiation.
This matters, so read it twice. The club app world has copycats and scammers who lift a name and a logo to trick people out of their money. Protect yourself: only ever join Chip Cartel through a club ID we give you directly, over one of our official channels — Instagram [@chipcartelclub], Telegram [handle], or Discord [invite]. If someone hands you a "Chip Cartel" ID somewhere else, stop and confirm with us first.
Once you're seated, the tables run [your game types — e.g. No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha cash], tournaments through the week, and the Sunday Shipment — the family's flagship game. Stakes run from [your range], so there's a seat whatever your bankroll. Fridays are Contract Night, where bounties sit on players' heads and knocking someone out pays.
Anyone can start a club on ClubGG. Very few run it right. Here's what you get inside Chip Cartel that you won't get from an ID you found in a comment section: every player vetted, so the games stay clean. Payouts honored in full, fast, by real people. A rakeback ladder that pays you back more the more you play. And a community that actually talks to each other instead of a silent lobby of strangers. In a world full of clubs that disappear, the family's whole business is being the one that doesn't.
You know how it works now. Message the family, get the password, and take your seat tonight.
