Our Story

About The Aquarium

The Aquarium is a player-first ClubGG poker club founded by Mike Bell on transparency, low rake, and direct communication. With no agents or middlemen, players deal directly with the owner and save $100–$150/week on rake compared to agent-run clubs.

Built by Players, for Players

The Aquarium was created to solve a common problem in the ClubGG ecosystem: too many agents taking too much rake.

Most ClubGG clubs are run by agents who charge 5-8% rake with high caps. The Aquarium cuts through the middleman — founded by Mike Bell, we're owned and operated with a focus on fair rake, transparent operations, and direct communication.

Our mission: Give players the best poker experience at the lowest cost.

What Makes Us Different

No Agents, No Middlemen

When you join The Aquarium, your rake goes directly to maintaining the club — not lining an agent's pockets. We're owned by Mike Bell, and you can reach the owner directly on Telegram (@mike3000) or X (@oneblackleopard).

Lowest Rake: 3% Capped at $1

At $0.50/$1 stakes, our rake structure saves regular players $100–$150 per week compared to typical agent-run clubs. That's real money staying in your bankroll.

Transparent Operations

We show, don't just tell. Active game screenshots, withdrawal proof, and a community you can verify. Our Telegram (@mike3000) and X (@oneblackleopard) channels have real players, real conversations, and real support.

Player-First Community

The Aquarium isn't just a club — it's a community. With 30+ daily active players, you'll always find a game, a friendly chat, and fair treatment. Join us on ClubGG and stay connected via Telegram and X.
