Some very good clubs and soft games can be found on Pokerrrr2, but clubs are much smaller and easier to set up on this app compared to others. As a result, you have to perform a higher level of due diligence.
Some tips:
-Search how long the club has been around for
-Search for any bad comments online against the club
-Join the club but don't play for a few days. Instead check in daily to ensure games are running. Observe the chat to gauge whether the "banter" indicates a legit game, rather than a silent game made up of house players.
-Start with a small deposit
On his topic, I'd like to draw players' attention to a club that you can NOT trust. At the start of this week, the first red flag I saw was following a request to withdraw. Their response was that their cash-out guy was "out sick for 2-4 days". After repeated requests for a withdrawal, their response changed. Today they claimed "our bot detector has found that your account is a bot", and that their "bot specialist" had confirmed I was a bot! This is a common excuse used by scammers who naturally provide no evidence (because none exists.) When I informed him that I would be warning others about his club, I was met with a smug "F*ck off" and "good luck."
