This page is for people running a club or thinking about it. If you want to play rather than operate, the player-facing version is our Suprema Poker page.
Suprema is the app where big-bet Omaha runs as a real game, and Suprema EU is the union we operate on it. What follows is the club owner side: the terms, what the union carries, and what you are actually taking on.
The terms
Suprema EU runs an 80 percent deal band for club owners. The chip is 1 US dollar. Club renewal is free and chips are provided free of charge.
Settlement runs weekly, on the same cycle as every other platform we operate, which matters if you run clubs on more than one app and would rather not track several calendars.
The 80 percent band is lower than the 85 and 86 percent we run on other platforms, and it is worth understanding why rather than reading it as a worse deal. Suprema carries the big-bet Omaha traffic. A club filling PLO5 and PLO6 tables is filling games that most apps cannot run at all, and the rake generated per table is correspondingly higher. The band and the traffic are the same conversation.
What the union carries
The point of being in a union rather than running standalone is that some costs and risks stop being yours.
Tournament overlay is the clearest case. When a guaranteed event does not fill, somebody covers the shortfall. Inside our union that is the union rather than the club, which means you can put your players into a schedule with real guarantees without underwriting it yourself. A standalone club running its own guarantees is taking a risk it usually cannot afford twice.
Table liquidity is the second. Your club on its own would have empty tables at most hours. Pooling across the union is what makes the lobby fill, and it is the entire reason unions exist.
The third is field policing. Because the union knows who is in every club, a colluding pair or a bot ring is a same-day removal rather than a case queue. For a club owner that is the difference between losing a few players and losing your regulars.
How the work is divided
You handle your members: who joins, what limits they play, how you split rakeback with your agents, and being reachable when they are playing.
We handle the platform relationship, limits, promos and event scheduling, and you work with one manager rather than a support queue. Technical questions and design support for the club go the same way.
What that leaves you is the part that actually determines whether a club works, which is the member list. A club is worth what its players are worth, and no set of terms rescues a room nobody plays in.
What to weigh before starting
Three things decide it, and none of them is the percentage.
Do you have players. A club with fifteen active members is a business. A club with three is a group chat with extra steps, and the terms will not change that.
Can you cover the hours. Chips and withdrawals move through people, which is why they take minutes instead of days, and the cost is that somebody has to be reachable. If your players play at night and you do not, you need an agent who does.
Do you want big-bet Omaha specifically. If your players are hold'em cash grinders, another platform fits better and we would rather place you correctly than fill a club here. The full comparison is on our unions page.
One thing that is not on the list and probably should be. Running a club is a service business with poker attached, and the failure mode is almost never strategic. It is somebody stopping answering messages for three days. If that describes how you handle obligations, an agent role under an owner who does answer is the better fit, and there is no shame in it.
Agents inside your club
Most clubs of any size run on agents rather than on the owner recruiting everybody personally.
An agent brings players, handles their chips and questions, and takes a share of the rake those players generate out of your band. The arithmetic is simple and unforgiving: what you pass to your agents is what buys you their volume, and setting it too low means they work somebody else's club.
How the role works from the agent's side is set out in our guide to becoming an agent, which is worth reading before you set your split rather than after.
Frequently asked questions
What deal do club owners get on Suprema Poker?
An 80 percent band inside Suprema EU, with a 1 dollar chip, free club renewal and free chips, settled weekly.
Why is the Suprema band lower than on other apps?
Because Suprema carries the big-bet Omaha traffic. Those tables generate more rake per table than the games other platforms can fill, so the band and the traffic go together.
Who covers tournament overlay?
The union rather than the club, which is what lets a club offer real guarantees without underwriting the shortfall itself.
Do I need my own players to start a club?
Yes. Union membership fills your tables, but the member list is yours to build, and terms do not rescue a club nobody plays in.
Should I run a club or work as an agent?
Start as an agent unless you already have a player base that one person cannot service. Moving up to a club later is a conversation, not a rebuild.
Getting started
The first conversation is about your players, not about percentages: how many, what limits, what games and what hours. That determines which platform you should be on, and it is possible the answer is not this one.
To open that conversation, message @rpunion. Terms across every platform we operate, including the multi-platform agreement, are on the page for clubs and agents.
