What Is a Hand History, and Who Can See It?
A hand history is a record of poker hands that have already been played. On ClubGG, it can be viewed from two sides: by each player, for their own hands, and by Club and Union management, for the members they administer.
This article explains what a hand history is for, how players access their own, and which roles can see a member's hand history.
What a Hand History Is For
A hand history lets a hand be looked at again after it has finished. Players use it to review their own play. Club and Union management use it to review activity in their games and to look into questions about a particular hand for game security and integrity.
A Player's Own Hand History
Players can see their own hand history in PokerCraft, ClubGG's built-in record of every hand they have played. It covers both Club games and Membership games, and it is accessed from the Me menu in the app.
PokerCraft is private. A player can see only their own hands, notes, and statistics, and no other player can see them.
PokerCraft comes with a WSOP+ membership. Basic members can view their hand histories, and Premium members can also download them, going back 90 days. Older play can still be viewed in the app, although downloads stop at the 90-day mark.
Hand histories are available only through PokerCraft. ClubGG support does not send them by email or any other manual method.
Who Can See a Member's Hand History
On the management side, only Masters and Managers can see member and table hand histories. Within a Club, that means the Club Master and any Club Managers. The roles are explained in ClubGG Club Roles Explained: Master, Manager, Agent and Player.
In a Union, the same applies at Union level. A Union's Master and Managers are the Master Club's Master and Managers, and the Union Back Office is one of the places they administer the Union from.
Super Agents and Agents do not have access to the hand histories of the members in their downline. Other Players do not either.
How Club Management Uses It
For Masters and Managers, a table hand history is a record to consult when reviewing activity, for example, as part of a regular gameplay review or when looking into coordinated play.
In short, every player can see their own hand history in PokerCraft, and on the management side, only Masters and Managers can see the hand histories of the members and tables they administer.
