KHK Games, Inc.: Clubs Poker & GiddyUp

KHK Games, Inc. is a Delaware corporation behind Clubs Poker, a single sweepstakes platform that includes poker and casino play, and the separate GiddyUp horse-racing wagering product. In addition, its public footprint includes the Clubs platform, corporate and funding records, the “Clubs” statement descriptor and dated regulatory history.

Information notice: KHK Games, Inc. operates products with different legal and gaming models. Clubs Poker uses a sweepstakes/social-gaming model that includes poker and casino play, while GiddyUp is a separate real-money horse-racing/ADW product supported by a licensed wagering provider. American Casino Sweeps is not KHK Games, Inc. and does not operate these platforms.
Company overview

What is KHK Games, Inc.?

KHK Games, Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed in 2023. Current Clubs Poker terms and official site materials identify KHK as the company behind Clubs Poker, a single Clubs service that includes both poker and casino play.

Meanwhile, KHK’s public footprint expanded in 2026 with GiddyUp, a separate horse-racing wagering product. GiddyUp’s terms identify KHK Games, Inc. doing business as GiddyUp, while the wagering framework is provided separately by AmWest.

In addition, SEC Form D filings list KHK’s principal place of business as 2001 Market Street, Suite 2500, Philadelphia, PA 19103 and report securities-offering amounts. Those offering amounts are not a company valuation.

KHK Games Products

Current Clubs Terms of Use cover clubspoker.com and clubscasino.com under one KHK account/service framework. These are poker-facing and casino-facing parts of the same Clubs Poker service, not separate KHK sweepstakes brands. GiddyUp appears separately because it uses a different ADW and horse-racing wagering model.

Clubs Poker

Poker + casino under one KHK service

Clubs Poker combines poker and casino play within the same KHK Clubs service. The current terms cover both clubspoker.com and clubscasino.com, and both routes point to the same Clubs Poker review page.

GiddyUp: KHK’s 2026 ADW Expansion

GiddyUp expands KHK beyond the Clubs sweepstakes ecosystem and uses a different legal and wagering model.

KHK’s role

KHK Games, Inc. d/b/a GiddyUp

Its terms identify KHK Games, Inc. as the company behind the player-facing GiddyUp product. In addition, GiddyUp materials describe KHK as responsible for the brand, user experience, platform design and loyalty/gameplay environment.

  • Player-facing brand and product
  • Platform design and experience
  • Loyalty and gameplay environment
  • Separate from the Clubs sweepstakes model
Licensed wagering role

AmWest

Meanwhile, GiddyUp states that wagering services are provided through AmWest under its Oregon multi-jurisdictional simulcasting and interactive wagering totalizator hub licence. In contrast, that role is distinct from KHK’s ownership of the GiddyUp consumer product.

  • Licensed ADW framework
  • Horse-racing wagering services
  • Racing data and related wagering infrastructure
  • Not the owner of the Clubs Poker sweepstakes service
Classification: GiddyUp uses real-money games influenced by live horse-race results. It is not a sweepstakes casino and is not counted as a second KHK sweepstakes platform.
Corporate records

KHK Games Company Records, Funding & Trademarks

Additionally, public filings add unusually strong company-level context for a sweepstakes operator page.

Delaware corporation

KHK’s January 2026 SEC Form D identifies the company as a Delaware corporation formed in 2023.

Philadelphia office

The same filing lists 2001 Market Street, Suite 2500, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 as the principal place of business.

2026 Form D offering

A January 29, 2026 filing reports a $48.5 million equity offering, with $45 million reported sold at the filing date and a first-sale date of November 22, 2024.

Earlier equity filing

A separate Form D records a $2,999,983 equity offering with a first sale in September 2023.

Named executives

The January 2026 filing names Jonathan Kaplowitz as CEO, executive officer and director, and Jeffrey Kaplan as an executive officer.

Trademark footprint

Public trademark records connect KHK with the Clubs Poker and Clubs Casino names and marks, Clubs “C” marks and Giddy Up. Additionally, the GIDDY UP application was filed March 11, 2026.

Payment identification

Why does “Clubs” appear on my bank statement?

Clubs Poker’s current terms state that purchases may appear as “Clubs.” If the description is unfamiliar, use the transaction date and amount to determine whether it matches activity on a Clubs account.

1

Check purchase receipts

First, search the email account connected to Clubs for a receipt or purchase confirmation that matches the statement date and amount.

2

Compare account activity

Next, sign in through a known Clubs address and compare the account’s purchase history with the statement entry.

3

Contact Clubs support

Then, if the transaction cannot be matched, use the official Clubs support channel and provide only the information requested through that process.

4

Contact the card issuer if needed

Finally, if the charge still appears unauthorized, contact the bank or card issuer promptly and follow its security or dispute process.

Public-record context

KHK Games Trust & Regulatory History

Regulatory letters, BBB ratings and court filings are dated public records. However, they do not by themselves prove illegality, liability or wrongdoing.

Maryland letter

Maryland’s gaming regulator sent KHK Games, Inc. d/b/a Clubs Poker a cease-and-desist letter dated June 3, 2025 concerning online gaming activity in the state.

Louisiana listing

The Louisiana Gaming Control Board’s public illegal-operator page includes KHK Games, Inc. d/b/a Clubs Poker among operators issued cease-and-desist letters.

Current Clubs restrictions

Clubs Terms Version 5.6 restrict certain Games or Services in California, Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Washington and West Virginia.

BBB profile

BBB currently lists KHK Games, Inc. as not accredited with an F rating. BBB says its rating reasons include unanswered complaints. However, that is BBB’s assessment, not a government finding.

Walker case

In addition, Walker v. KHK Games was filed in Utah federal court on November 2, 2025 and voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on February 10, 2026. However, the dismissal is not a merits finding.

Different product footprints

In contrast, Clubs and GiddyUp do not share one universal state-availability list. Therefore, GiddyUp’s ADW model uses a different legal and licensing framework, so product-specific rules differ and apply separately.

Important: A cease-and-desist letter records a regulator’s stated position and requested action. Similarly, a BBB rating is BBB’s own assessment, and a court filing records litigation activity. Therefore, those records do not establish a criminal conviction or final liability finding.

Company sources

KHK Games Sources & Public Records

First, current official terms and first-party pages identify KHK’s company roles and product classifications. In addition, SEC filings and dated regulatory and public records provide additional corporate and legal context.

1. Current product terms

Current Clubs and GiddyUp terms identify KHK’s contractual roles and distinguish the Clubs sweepstakes model from GiddyUp’s ADW model.

2. Corporate records

SEC Form D filings list formation, address, executive and securities-offering details. Offering amounts are not company valuations.

3. Regulatory records

Regulatory letters, BBB information and court records provide dated regulatory and dispute context. Allegations and ratings are distinct from final findings of wrongdoing.
