🚀New Era of Phenom Changes
We’re actively transitioning into a new era of Phenom. As part of this effort, we’re Adding, Updating and Removing several features across our Website and the Phenom Poker app. This is an ongoing process, and we’re working as quickly as possible to make these improvements.
Rank Tiers - Get your weekly rakeback in USDT. Want more? Buy and stake $PHNM to unlock Revenue Share and instantly level up your Rank Tier.
Boosted Rakeback Rewards - Stake $PHNM to skyrocket your Rakeback percentage. More stake means more earned.
Tier Warping - You can still grind your way up the status tiers to earn more rakeback, with no requirement to buy $PHNM. But now, you also have a new way to jump into a higher tier immediately by staking $PHNM.
$PHNM Staking - You have a choice of two paths.
The Escalator — stay flexible with no lock-ups. Start at a 0.25× multiplier and climb all the way to 1.50× over 24 months of continuous staking.

🎯All In Equities
We’ve added each player’s equity percentage (their chance of winning the pot) whenever one or more players are all-in. This gives players real-time insight into their winning probabilities.
When Running It Twice or Running It Three Times, the equity percentages cycle to reflect each board being run.
In Split Pot and High/Low games, equity percentages are shown separately for both the High and Low outcomes.
🎵New SFX & Volume Controls
We’ve added separate Playing and Observing master volume sliders, allowing you to control sound levels depending on whether you’re actively playing or observing a game.
We’ve also added individual volume sliders for Actions, Alerts, Chips, and Deal sound groups, giving you more precise control over specific sound effects.
Finally, we’ve updated our core suite of sound effects for an improved overall audio experience.
🔥Table Chat & Emoji Updates
We’ve added a clickable Emoji icon to the chat input, opening an Emoji Picker for quick and easy emoji selection.
Sending 1, 2, or 3 emojis by themselves will now display an enlarged emoji instead of a standard chat bubble.
Clicking another player’s alias in chat now opens the action menu, replacing the need to use the triple-dot menu.
Ambassador and Streaming Live badges are now displayed.
Reward Tier badges are now displayed when Enable Tier Frame is turned on.
💰Buy-In Modal Updates
We’ve improved minimum and maximum value handling for Buy-Ins and Rebuys, ensuring inputs are validated more reliably.
We’ve unified orange warnings and red alerts into a single, consistent messaging component.
Clear warning and error messages are now shown when input values fall outside the required minimum or maximum limits.
