Club ID, host, union: what does that mean?

A poker product presented for social or recreational play. The term describes the product model; it does not imply that every game, club, or outside arrangement follows the same rules.

Link to Social poker app

An app where users enter or create clubs inside the software. The app provides the product, while each club may have its own identity, administrators, access route, games, and schedule.

Link to Club-based poker app

A product built around clubs that are not automatically available to every user. Access may depend on a club ID, invitation, public link, or approval from a club administrator.

Link to Private club platform

A game created by a host for invited players. The host chooses the room or table settings allowed by the product; the software operator still controls the app itself.

Link to Hosted poker game

A poker room opened through a web browser instead of an installed native app. A browser room may use a shareable link, room name, or host-controlled entry process.

Link to Browser poker room

Poker games or modes that the product makes available without first joining a specific private club or receiving a host’s invitation.

Link to Public social play

Software installed for a particular operating system, such as iOS, Android, Windows, or macOS, rather than opened only as a website in a browser.

Link to Native app

The company or organization responsible for the poker product or service. The app operator is not automatically the operator of every independent club, hosted game, union, or agent route inside the product.

Link to App operator

A named group or game environment inside a club-based poker app. A club can have its own administrators, public access value, games, schedule, and relationships with a network or agent.

Link to Club

The person or organization that manages a club’s settings, membership, games, or public information. The exact authority depends on the app and the role supported by current evidence.

Link to Club owner or administrator

The person who creates or manages a poker room or game for other players. A host is not automatically an app operator, club owner, union manager, or agent.

Link to Host

A group of clubs or game pools connected inside a poker platform. Clubs in the same union or network may share games or players, but the exact relationship and control should be checked for that platform.

Link to Union or network

An intermediary who represents or connects a player with a club, operator, or access route. An agent’s exact club, app, role, and current contact should be verified separately; the label alone does not prove reliability.

Link to Agent

A code used by an app to identify or locate a specific club. A club ID can identify an access route, but it does not by itself prove who operates the club or whether a public contact represents it.

Link to Club ID

A code, link, or other value used to invite someone to a club, room, or hosted game. A private or user-specific invitation should not be published as a general public route.

Link to Invitation

A public link that opens or identifies a club, room, game, or application step. The destination, app, club, represented role, source, and currentness should be checked before the link is published.

Link to Join link

A website, email address, messaging handle, or other contact route intentionally available to the public. A public contact should be tied to the exact entity and role it represents.

Link to Public contact

The screen or page where a product lists available clubs, games, tables, tournaments, rooms, or account controls. A description of a lobby may come from a current source even when Daily Poker Hub did not log in to inspect it directly.

Link to Lobby

A single poker game instance or seatable game listing. A table can be scheduled, open, full, empty, running, or unavailable depending on the product and the time checked.

Link to Table

An ongoing poker table where players can generally enter or leave between hands, subject to the host, club, or product settings.

Link to Ring game

A structured poker event where players begin under one event format and continue until the event’s finishing conditions are reached.

Link to Tournament

A tournament designed to begin after the required number of players or entries is reached rather than at a fixed scheduled time.

Link to Sit-and-go

A poker format where each player receives two private cards and combines them with shared community cards to make a hand.

Also called: Hold’em

Link to Texas Hold’em

A poker family where players receive more private cards than in Hold’em and must use the number of hole and community cards required by the specific Omaha variant.

Link to Omaha

A poker format where players arrange drawn cards into rows under the rules of the selected Open-Face Chinese variant.

Link to Open-Face Chinese poker

The named poker variant or event structure, such as Hold’em, Omaha, Open-Face Chinese, a ring game, or a tournament.

Link to Game format

A product-specific way a game is configured or played, such as a public table, private hosted room, club table, special rule set, or limited event.

Link to Game mode

The amount of visible game or table activity available on an app, club, or network at a particular time or during a stated period. Traffic is time-sensitive and does not imply liquidity, profitability, expected winnings, or a permanent level of activity.

Link to Traffic

Whether a particular game or table type is listed as open, running, full, empty, scheduled, or unavailable at the time checked. It should be shown with its source and check time.

Link to Table availability

A current source’s stated plan for when a club, host, or product expects to offer a game or event. A schedule is not proof that a table is active now.

Link to Published schedule

The latest supported state of a time-sensitive fact, such as a live table, public route, schedule, restriction, or account process, shown with a meaningful check time.

Link to Current status

A fact whose last check is too old to present as current under its freshness rule. A stale value should be refreshed, omitted, or labeled unavailable rather than left active.

Link to Stale status

The locations where an app, feature, club route, or event is stated to be available or restricted. A store listing or reachable website does not prove that every feature is available in that location.

Link to Geographic availability

The minimum-age or age-related rule stated by the product, operator, store, or applicable feature. A storefront content rating and the product’s own eligibility terms should not be treated as the same fact.

Link to Age restriction

A limitation, suspension, closure, access hold, or other state that affects an account under the product’s published rules or a documented case. A restriction does not by itself prove wrongdoing.

Link to Account restriction

A current page, policy, help document, store listing, or statement published by the entity responsible for the exact product, relationship, rule, or route being described.

Link to Official source

A current public source outside the responsible entity that identifies the exact subject, value, role, and date clearly enough to use with attribution. It remains a third-party source and is not presented as an operator statement.

Link to Qualified third-party public source

A reviewed response from a contact tied to the exact entity and role that confirms a specific factual detail. The response supports only the point it answers and does not give the subject control over the final page.

Link to Direct factual confirmation

A fact Daily Poker Hub could see through an approved public or bounded product check. The observation supports only the exact screen, environment, action, and time recorded.

Link to Public observation

A state where current sources give materially different answers about the same fact. Daily Poker Hub should show or withhold the conflict instead of choosing an unsupported winner.

Link to Source conflict

The date or time when Daily Poker Hub last performed a meaningful review of the source and public fact. A build, formatting change, or successful link request does not count as a factual recheck.

Link to Last checked

Software or automated assistance used to perform actions that would otherwise be taken by a player. An app’s rule or detection feature proves that the rule or feature exists, not that every game is free from automation.

Link to Bot or automation

Coordinated conduct between players intended to create an unfair advantage. A report or suspicious result is not proof by itself; the source, subject, event, and evidence state should be identified.

Link to Collusion

The published route for raising an account, moderation, access, or product issue with the responsible app, club, operator, or support team. The process does not predict the result of an individual case.

Link to Dispute process

A public change to a Daily Poker Hub fact that was wrong, outdated, incomplete, or attached to the wrong entity. A correction should update the authoritative record and preserve meaningful history when the earlier version was public.
