Club Ten operates within the ecommerce MLM sector and is headquartered in Dubai, operating under the Planet Empire FZCO shell company.
The organization is led by co-founders Dennis Bay, James Lee (known as Lee Keng Cheong), Enrico Garcia, and Erick Kalugdan.
Bay and Lee hail from Singapore, while Garcia and Kalugdan are from the Philippines. Together, these four individuals are the co-founders of Club Ten and have held roles as promoters and executives at WorldVentures previously.
In 2018, Dennis Bay initiated legal action against WorldVentures, claiming he was owed $243,057 in unpaid commissions.
The same year, WorldVentures filed a lawsuit against James Lee, accusing him of engaging in cross-recruitment with Mavie.
Enrico Garcia served as the “SEA Emerging Marketing Manager” at WorldVentures’ corporate office, whereas Erick Kalugdan seems to have been a lower-tier promoter who operated with a low profile.
WorldVentures was a multi-level marketing pyramid scheme centered around discount travel, which ultimately collapsed in December 2020.
Amid rampant scams and inadequate enforcement of securities fraud regulations, BehindMLM classifies Dubai as the leading hub for MLM crime globally.
The guidelines provided by BehindMLM regarding Dubai include:
- Be wary if someone residing in Dubai approaches you with an MLM opportunity; they are likely attempting to scam you.
- An MLM company claiming to be based in or connected to Dubai should be considered a scam.

Club Ten’s Products

Club Ten affiliate membership provides access to an education platform, discount travel and an ecommerce mall.
Club Ten’s Compensation Plan
Club Ten does not provide compensation details on its website. Its MLM business model is hidden from the public.
Based on various Club Ten marketing presentations, what can be deduced is that there are three tiers of Club Ten affiliate membership:
- Preferred Customer basic affiliate tier) – no cost to sign up
- VIP – $99.99 and then $29.99 a month, or $369.90 first year and then $299.90 each year after
- Pro – $199.99 and then $59.99 a month, or $739.90 first year and then $599 each year after
Commissions in Club Ten’s compensation plan are tied to recruitment of VIP and Pro tier affiliates.
- Preferred Customer tier affiliates earn an “up to 10%” referral commission rate
- VIP tier affiliates earn 20% to 55% in referral commissions
- Pro tier affiliates also earn 20% to 55% in referral commissions, as well as “additional revenue streams”
It is quite alarming that Club Ten is not honest about its MLM compensation plan.
There are three Club Ten affiliate options:
- Preferred Customer = free
- VIP – $99.99 and then $29.99 a month, or $369.90 first year and then $299.90 each year after
- Pro – $199.99 and then $59.99 a month, or $739.90 first year and then $599 each year after
The more a Club Ten affiliate spends on their membership, the higher their income potential.
Conclusion
Club Ten is basically a reimagined version of WorldVentures with additional features.
The problem is without a retail customer class, Club Ten operates as a pyramid scheme.
Even the commissions are all dependent on recruitment which is paid out of membership fees paid by recruited Club Ten affiliates.
One can see how similar WorldVentures is to Club Ten.
As with all MLM pyramid schemes, once affiliate recruitment ends , even the commissions will eventually making the ones at the bottom stop paying fees. The ones above will also suffer.
It will be endless loop with no new recruits, these affiliates will eventually also stop paying fees.
Once enough Club Ten affiliates stop paying fees, the scheme and the company will collapse ultimately.
