If you play poker online in a Club GG club, you've probably been asked which union your club is in. If you already know the answer to this question, this post may not be for you. But if you aren't sure which union you play in or even what a union on Club GG is at all, read on and everything will be explained!
A Club GG union is a group of two or more clubs that share player pools with each other. This mean that the players from all the clubs in a union can play against each other, both in tournaments and at ring game tables.
Why would any club want to be in a union? Because with a larger player pool, the union can run more games than any individual club could run on their own. This gives every clubs' players more opportunities to play than they would have if the clubs each ran individually.
For example, say Club A has 100 players and can run games three nights a week. And Club B has 150 players and can run games four nights a week. If these two clubs formed a union they would have enough traffic to run games seven nights a week. Then their players could play any night they want instead of only when their individual club decides to run games.
Club GG currently allows up to 75 clubs per union. So it is important to realize that your agent or club manager may not know all the players at your tables when you are playing.
The individual clubs within a union usually have no or little control over the games offered in that union. Typically a union will employ a table manager. The manager is responsible for deciding which games and tourneys are offered and for maintaining the tables. Clubs can often make suggestions or requests through the table manager but there is no gaurantee they will be approved.
The only way you can tell if you are playing in a Club GG union is by asking your agent or club manager.
Something to be aware of is that two clubs who are members of the same union will have identical game lobbies. You will see your club's icon and banner but the tables offered will look exactly the same for any club in that union. You may have noticed this if you have ever joined a new club only to find they offered the exact same games as your previous club.
There is no way to play directly in an a Union. You must play through a club that is a member of the Union. If you are already playing in a club, you can ask your agent or club manager which union the club is in.
If you are interested in playing in a particular union, try searching for it by name on Google or social media. You will definitely get some options this way, just remember to exercise caution when playing in a new club you find online!
