Clubs Poker is a relatively new online poker platform that has significantly improved its schedule of daily and weekly events. The site is on a trajectory to become a full-day MTT (Multi-Table Tournament) grind environment. The biggest tournament is the Nightly 22 with a regular guarantee of 600 SC, increasing to 1,500 SC on Sundays. Entry fee for the Nightly event is 22 SC.
Clubs Poker offers an impressive range of MTTs beyond No Limit Hold’em and PLO. The daily schedule includes variants like 2-7 Single Draw, Five Card Draw, Five Card Omaha, Badugi, and mixed games such as HORSE and Octa Mix featuring up to eight different rotating variations. For many US online poker players, Clubs Poker is the only site offering mixed game practice opportunities.
Players can participate in tournaments completely free while still competing for real money prizes due to frequent freerolls and overlays. Some tournaments may not get enough players to start, but this issue is expected to resolve as the player base grows. Early sign-up is recommended to take advantage of current value in tournaments with occasional overlays and regular freerolls.
Clubs Poker is legally operating in most US states (45+), providing a new option for California poker players among others. The platform encourages responsible play with resources provided for those struggling with gambling issues.
