About Richard
Richard Hamilton is a club poker player with more than five years on mobile club apps such as PPPoker, PokerBros and ClubGG. He grinds MTTs and cash tables from his phone, and he has been both a club member and a club manager, so he knows the agent model from the inside: who handles deposits and cashouts, how rakeback is arranged and where the risks sit. He writes about PPPoker because those are the questions players keep asking.
He covers PPPoker the way an experienced club player sees it: what the app itself does, what clubs and their agents do outside it, and where the risks sit for a player in the Philippines.
Experience and how you can check it
Richard's background in club poker apps:
- Club poker on mobile apps (PPPoker, PokerBros, ClubGG) for 5+ years.
- Roles in clubs: player and club manager.
- For this site he reads the official Terms of Service and Community Rules, and checks the Google Play, App Store and Steam listings before each page is published.
Every claim in a guide is traced to a primary source or labelled as unverified, so you can check it yourself. You can also reach the team with questions about any guide (see Contact and corrections). We answer questions about our own material.
What Richard covers on this site
The guides cover the full path of a PPPoker player: installing the app on Android, iPhone and PC, creating an account and logging in, an honest review of the software, safety and legitimacy questions, how chips, clubs, agents and rakeback actually work, the rules on third-party tools and what to do when something goes wrong.

What Richard does not do: he does not recommend specific clubs or agents, does not publish Club IDs, does not give legal or financial advice, does not promise winnings and does not teach cheating. Guides that mention cheats explain why they do not work and how to avoid getting scammed, nothing more.
How Richard works: sources and checks
Every guide starts from primary sources: PPPoker's official Terms of Service and Community Rules, the Google Play, App Store and Steam listings and the official PPPoker blog. Each page shows a "Last checked" date so you can tell how fresh the information is.
Three working principles:
- "The publisher says" is not "we verified". When a claim comes from PPPoker or a store listing, it is attributed. When we checked something ourselves, we say how.
- Unverified is labelled unverified. If we could not confirm a detail, the page says so instead of guessing.
- No borrowed numbers, no names. We do not copy statistics from other sites, and we do not name people or repeat allegations about clubs or players.
The full process is described in our editorial policy.
Editorial review: Mary Kim
Mary Kim is the editor and fact-checker. She reviews every guide before publication. She checks facts against the primary sources, reviews wording on money, legality and safety, and enforces the house rule that no page contains instructions for cheating. She also reviews corrections from readers before updates go live.
Independence, disclosures and responsible play
pppoker-ph.com is an independent guide site. We are not affiliated with PPPoker or its publisher AceKing Tech Limited, we are not a club and we are not agents. The only call to action on this site is an AI-assistant call-out that leads to Telegram, which is run by our partners. We never push you to a specific club, agent or room.
This site is 21+, and nothing here is legal or financial advice. By its own Terms, PPPoker is a social game played with virtual chips inside the app. Any real-money arrangement happens outside the app, through clubs and their agents, and it carries risk. Read Is PPPoker legit and safe? and Real money on PPPoker before depositing anything. If gambling stops being fun, take a break and visit GambleAware.org.
