What Is a Chip Transfer?
A chip transfer is the in-app movement of Club chips or credits from one account to another within a ClubGG Club. It is an administrative action that takes place entirely inside the app.
Club chips are used for poker games within the Club and have no monetary value. A transfer changes only which account holds them.
This article explains what a transfer moves, where it happens, which roles can make one and how each transfer is recorded.
What a Transfer Moves
A transfer moves one of two in-app units. Club chips are what members use in the Club's games. Credits are the in-app allocation that Agents and Super Agents draw on when they give Club chips to their downline. Both are described in more detail in Club Chips and Credits, Explained.
A transfer works in either direction. Chips or credits can be sent to an account, or claimed back from it.
Where Transfers Happen
Chip transfers are made through the Club's Counter. Depending on the available features, the Counter is organized by what is being moved:
Member Counter: Club chips sent to members or claimed back from them.
Agent Counter: credits sent to Agents and Super Agents or claimed back from them.
Clubs affiliated with a Union also have a Union Counter, which moves credits between the Union and its affiliated Clubs. Transfers between Clubs in a Union follow their own route.
Who Can Make a Chip Transfer
Who can make a transfer depends on role.
Club Master sends Club chips to members and credits to Agents and Super Agents, and can claim either back.
Club Managers have the same transfer abilities from the start, and the Club Master can restrict them.
Super Agents transfer Club chips to anyone in their downline, drawing on their own credits.
Agents do the same for the Players they manage.
Players can request chips through the Counter. Pending requests appear in a request list, where authorized Club roles can review them.
Every Transfer Is Recorded
The Counter keeps a log. The Trade Record shows the history of everything done at the Counter, and each Counter has its own history view.
At Union level, the Union Counter history records when each credit movement happened, who started it, and which Club it involved. That record makes transfers traceable and gives Club and Union administration a clear way to review activity.
A consistent process for adding and removing Club chips makes that record easier to read.
In short, a chip transfer moves Club chips or credits between accounts through the Counter, and only roles with the right permissions can make one. It stays inside the app, and the Counter keeps a record of each one.
