Yes. I play on Pokerbros, PPPoker, Upoker, x-poker, Suprema, ClubGG and lots of players in my discord and never had any issues. Pokerrrr2 is different model so have to really know the people behind it. I also play on Kings Club and Crash Poker and that's medium to nose bleed stakes. I personally know several players that have done well into 6 figures of business there.
Your risk, to be honest, is rogue agents. There have been a few shady club owners but most club owners are actually industry pros in some aspect and have far too much to lose if they play games. Some agents are grimy for sure. The danger, from my experience, comes from the ones operating on credit. They could have a fair amount of player funds and disappear. It has happened, cannot say it is common. I deal with 100s of pkayers and know of 3 or 4 people it has happened to unfortunately.
FWIW, I know of a player that had their GG Poker agent outright steal 11K of their money. It's not the app model, it's the integrity issue that some lack. My only personal issues have been when a player wants a very specific withdrawal that isn't available at that time. I've never encountered a single instance where money was just not sent and I'm in 22 clubs. There are also players that do shady stuff with reversing payments on those that work with PayPal or something.
Like any business, credible people are very concerned about their own reputation and protect it once it's earned. Replace poker club with garage/mechanic, some are just shady as hell and others fix mistakes they make at their cost.
