Changelog

Follow new updates and improvements to Phenom Poker.

September 3rd, 2026

⭐ Highlights

New Deposit & Withdrawal Flow — Stablecoin deposits are free, and you can withdraw to the token and network you actually want.
Final Table Deals — Remaining players can agree to chop the final table by true ICM equity, with a unanimous binding vote.
Early Bird — Register early on selected tournaments and sit down with a bigger starting stack, at the same price.
Taiwanese Poker — A new points-based, double-board game in the Chinese family, with a wild-joker version alongside it.

💸 New Deposit & Withdrawal Flow

  • Stablecoin deposits are free — send USDC or USDT on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism or Avalanche and the full amount you sent lands in your CHIP balance

  • Deposits credit in roughly 3–8 seconds on every supported chain

  • Withdraw to the token and network of your choice — every deposit corridor is now a withdrawal corridor, with a live "you'll receive" estimate before you confirm

  • A flat $1 service fee applies to withdrawals. Stablecoin withdrawals carry nothing on top of it; withdrawing to a non-stablecoin token adds the bridge cost, shown on screen before you confirm.

  • Before you send anything, the Deposit screen names the fee, the minimum, and the only asset that address will accept

🏆 Final Table Deals

  • At the final table, any seated player can raise a hand to suggest a deal — everyone sees a running count ("4/9 want a deal") and a 5-minute window, but nobody sees who raised

  • Once every remaining player has raised a hand, the current hand plays out and a binding vote opens on an exact payout table

  • Amounts are calculated on true ICM equity

  • Everyone votes on the same numbers and all of them must approve — a single no, or the 60-second clock expiring, declines it for the table. Voting is completely anonymous

  • The level clock stops from the moment the dealing making begins, until the deal settles or declines, so the blinds never climb while you decide

  • Deals work on bounty tournaments too: only the ranked prize pool is split, and progressive bounties stay on their own heads

  • Available once the final table has fully formed and late registration has closed — never on satellites

🐦 Early Bird

  • Selected tournaments now have a bigger starting stack for the first players who register

  • The lobby row shows how many spots are left; the tournament panel shows the boost, a progress bar and a countdown to the cutoff

  • Hold a spot and your starting stack reads as base plus boost — "10,000 + 1,000"

  • Unregister and your spot goes straight back, either to the next player already waiting for one or into the pool

  • These bonuses will start to appear across tournaments in the coming days. Look out for the “early bird” icon in the lobby.

🍍 Taiwanese Poker

  • A new points-based, double-board game in the Chinese family, at 2–6 player cash tables

  • Seven cards split into Top (1), Middle (2) and Bottom (4) — everyone sets at the same time, then two community boards run out one after the other

  • Each of your three rows plays every opponent's matching row on both boards: Top pays 1 point, Middle 2, Bottom 3

  • Win all six rows against an opponent for a Home Run — an extra 8 points, with a celebration overlay

  • Live per-row odds during the runout show which of your rows is ahead on the board currently running

  • Both sit under the Chinese family in the lobby, with OFC and Taiwanese as separate filter options

  • Game stakes will start with a reduced set of stakes with more being added over the coming days.

  • You can read up more about Taiwanese poker here: https://phenompoker.com/blog/taiwanese-poker-rules/

✨ Improvements

  • Leaving a cash table no longer waits for the hand to end — your turn resolves instantly (check when it's free, fold when it isn't) and your seat clears the moment your cards are gone

  • Changed your mind? A pending leave can be undone with the purple Sit back button in the action bar, right up until your stack is settled

  • An all-in leaver's hand always plays to the end, and any winnings come back with the stack

  • Rewards Center now claims CHIP directly, with staged progress and a settle toast on a CHIP→PHNM swap

  • The swap modal fills the full height on mobile, with the confirm button pinned to the bottom

  • Team Pro tables now carry a clearer tooltip in the lobby

🛠️ Fixes & Bugs

  • Fixed the table header swallowing clicks on top-row seats

  • Fixed a Chinese Poker fantasy hand being dealt zero cards after a table restart, which handed the pot to the opponent and charged the fouled hand

  • Fixed tournaments freezing at the final table when a late registration seated during final-table designation

  • Fixed card deposits not always crediting after the payment had cleared

  • Fixed a partly filled peer deposit never being credited

August 24th, 2026

⭐ Highlights

CHIP — Our new in-game currency: one dollar-backed token, one chain, instant buy-ins and no gas fees.
Global Chat — One shared room for every signed-in player, reachable from the lobby, the side panel and table chat.
Hand History search — Paste a hand ID to jump straight to that hand, or pick a custom date range.
Hot Tables in the lobby — Hot games now sit in their own strip, with the exact bonus rakeback on the row.

💸 CHIP

CHIP is Phenom's new in-game currency — one dollar-backed token on one chain, replacing USDT on Polygon.

  • Deposit any major stablecoin and receive CHIP instantly in your wallet

  • Instant everything — tournament registration and unregistration, cash game buy-in and cash-out

  • Gas fees are covered by Phenom — you never see one

  • Cash out your way — choose the stablecoin and the chain you want to be paid on, instead of bridging by hand afterwards

  • One wallet, one chain — everything runs on Base, so the old bridging step is gone

  • 1 CHIP always redeems for 1 dollar-backed stablecoin, with reserves fully backed and auditable on-chain

  • Auto Top-Up keeps your stack loaded without a separate reload step

  • First-login setup is a single flow — authorising your wallet runs straight into converting to CHIP, with no dead wait and no raw signature prompts

👉 Read more about CHIP

💬 Global Chat

  • One shared room for every signed-in player — open it from the player side panel on desktop, the GLOBAL tab in table chat, or the top-left menu on mobile

  • Everyone in the room has passed KYC, and moderators watch it with the same tools they use at the table

  • A NEW MESSAGES divider marks where you left off — arriving in the room no longer counts as reading it

  • Unread dots on the chat entry points, so you can tell there's something new without opening the panel

🃏 Hand History Search

  • Search by hand ID — paste the ID straight from the replayer and go to that exact hand

  • Custom date range filter, so you're no longer stuck looking at Today

  • Hands from older sessions now turn up instead of the search claiming they don't exist

🔥 Hot Tables in the Lobby

  • Hot Tables now have their own strip above the All Tables list, so a hot game shows up even when your filters would have hidden it

  • The exact bonus rakeback you'd earn by sitting down now shows on the lobby row and in the preview flyout — no hover or tap needed

  • Hot Tables moved from last to second in the lobby category tabs

📱 Mobile Improvements

  • Top seats no longer sit underneath the multi-table tabs — players at the top of the ring are fully visible on every table size

  • The multi-table tab strip no longer nudges sideways when a tab lights up for your turn, so you can't mis-tap onto the wrong table

  • Slide-out menu labels are larger and easier to read

  • Tournament info: bigger icons, a right-sized Register button, and breathing room above it

  • The player info modal now scrolls on short screens — the notes list and "Write a note…" box are reachable again

  • A blocked chat message now tells you it was blocked instead of silently vanishing

🃏 Tables & Table Windows

  • The poker table renders at its intended size and position again — felt, seats, chips, buttons and fonts were all being drawn about 8% small, and the felt sat too low

  • Your action always registers. If a click is lost or refused anywhere between your table and the game engine, the action bar comes back instead of leaving you button-less until you time out

  • A table move keeps you in the window you're playing in instead of opening a second window and kicking you out of the first

  • Fixed duplicate table windows opening — one per open lobby window — when a seat came free

✨ Improvements

  • Cash lobby sorting now counts who's actually in the hand — a 5/6 table with three players sitting out no longer ranks alongside a 5/6 table where all five are playing

  • Lobby category tabs scroll cleanly at narrow widths, with a faded edge and paging arrows instead of a stray scrollbar

  • Cash table flyout splits Players and Info into switchable tabs, and now opens on mobile

  • Clicking the mini table in the lobby opens the table directly, clicking anywhere else on the row opens the flyout.

  • Countdown timers no longer jiggle as their digits tick

  • PKO bounty badges rebuilt to match their design — status-red treatment with the 3D PKO skull

  • Mini-table circles now match their design-system styles

  • Chat moderation now catches insults in languages other than English

  • PHNM price no longer stalls the page when the price feed is slow

  • Agent dashboard loads instantly, no more long delays

🛠️ Fixes & Bugs

  • Fixed all-in win percentages being materially wrong — post-flop equity is now exact, both in the badge and in the replayer

  • Fixed run-it-three equities counting duplicate dead cards

  • Fixed lowball showdown labels naming two unequal hands identically (both "6 Low"), which made an outright win look like a missed chop

  • Fixed the minimum raise after consecutive all-ins being offered below the previous all-in

  • Fixed Raise Any and Discard pre-action buttons at fixed-limit tables causing action buttons to disappear and timing you out

  • Fixed a pre-action click landing at the exact moment your turn starts being dropped, leaving you timed out and sat out

  • Fixed the bust-out modal during late registration — Re-Enter button, late-reg countdown and tournament title are back, and re-entry no longer spins forever

  • Fixed Hide Satellites in the tournament filters doing nothing

  • Fixed the Registration Successful toast appearing in every open window, and calling a re-entry a fresh registration

  • Fixed the tournament registration modal twitching when you press Register

  • Fixed satellite seat winners not being registered into the target tournament when settlement stalled

  • Fixed OFC cash tables getting stuck mid-hand and never finishing

  • Fixed deposit bonus awards occasionally paying the wrong amount

August 4th, 2026

⭐ Highlights

Final Table, Vote to Skip Break — Tournament players at the final table can now vote to skip the Break time and continue playing.
Mobile Multi-Tabling — Colour-coded table tabs, automatic switching to whichever table needs you next, and a turn countdown that runs around the tab border.
My Tables & lobby filters — Your seated cash tables now sit in their own section, with new Hot, Friend and Team Phenom filters on the full list.
Design refresh — Cash lobby, profile sidebar, buttons, inputs, code entry and toasts all restyled.
Pot payout fix — Fixed a rare case where a completed hand's chips were rolled back on the next hand.

🏆Final Table, Vote to Skip Break

  • Cast your vote in private — A Yes or No toggle appears in the middle of the table allowing each player to toggle their vote between Yes or No. Voting is anonymous.

  • Unanimous yes required to skip — Only when a unanimous Yes vote is reached will the current break time be skipped.

  • Countdown to restart play — Players will see a countdown to resume play on the final table after a unanimous Yes vote to skip has been reached.

📱 Mobile Multi-Tabling

  • Colour-coded table tabs — cash is teal, tournaments gold, OFC magenta, and a Fantasyland table gets a rotating rainbow border

  • Every tab shows what's happening at a glance: your turn, in hand, folded, dealing, on break with a countdown, sat out, in Fantasyland, or waitlisted with your position

  • Automatic table switching — after you act you're taken straight to the next table that needs you, with a short coloured glow confirming the switch. Fold and you move on instantly, without waiting for the hand to finish.

  • Auto-Switch Tables and the switch animation are separate settings you can turn off, saved to your account

  • The table you're on appears as its own tab, dimmed so it's obvious where you are — and still draggable to reorder

  • Turn countdown moved to the tab border — it fills clockwise as your clock runs down, reaching full exactly at zero

✈️ My Tables & Lobby Filters

  • "Special Tables" is now "My Tables" and shows only the cash tables you're actually seated at

  • Hot, Team Phenom and Friend tables now sit in the main All Tables list with their badges intact

  • New Hot Tables, Friend Tables and Team Phenom Tables filters — desktop popover, mobile drawer, plus a Hot Tables quick chip in the desktop chip row

🃏 Mixed Games

  • The hand counter rolls over and the game-type name animates every time the variant changes

  • Added a sound cue when a mixed game switches to a new variant

  • Cleaner look — the neon glow on the game-type text is gone, replaced by a gold pulse that plays three times after each change

🎨 Design Refresh

  • Cash lobby table restyled to match the tournament lobby — translucent fixed header, row hover glow, and a staggered fade-in as the list loads

  • Tournament lobby — the preview panel now scrolls with its Register button pinned to the bottom so you can always reach it on short screens, and columns reflow instead of dropping Actions

  • Profile sidebar in the lobby restyled, with a clearer wallet button and More dropdown

  • Buttons and input fields restyled across the client

  • Login and 2FA code entry redesigned into a single consistent 6-digit field

  • Toasts redesigned — new layout with an icon and optional action button, sliding in from the right

✨ Improvements

  • The sit-out menu now opens on click instead of hover, and closes itself after 5 seconds

  • Streamer badge tooltips no longer pop open just because your pointer passed over them

  • Empty seats are hidden for players seated at a formed tournament final table, including during breaks

🛠️ Fixes & Bugs

  • Fixed players being able to take an open seat ahead of the waitlist at cash and OFC tables

  • Fixed actions sent right on the buzzer being lost — the hand no longer sits you out and folds as if you had disconnected

  • Fixed a case where a won pot was rolled back, with chip stacks reverting to their previous-hand values after a table restart

  • Fixed players being able to sit out during an opponent's Fantasyland in Chinese Poker

  • Fixed earned Fantasyland being lost when an opponent sat out and a new player joined the table

  • Fixed duplicate table names in the lobby after a cash-table template was renamed

July 21st, 2026

✨ Improvements

  • Table chat now shows the flop on a single line and uses the correct in-game currency instead of dollar signs

  • You can now filter the tournament lobby by Progressive KO under Filters → Features

  • Cash lobby Stakes filter now shows a tooltip on each tier with its exact ranges for NL/PL, FL/ML, Bomb Pot, and OFC

  • Hand History export now handles up to 1,000 sessions at once, up from 100

  • Verified streamers can now hide the table-felt logo during live broadcasts to avoid platform copyright flags

  • Added AMUSDT as a token option in the Recovery Portal

  • Tournament bounty amounts now match between the table and the tournament details

  • Settings → Personal got a polish pass — collapsible sections, cleaner wallet copy with a short address, and clearer stream labels

  • The wallet balance in the table options menu was restyled for cleaner spacing and a clearer currency mark

  • Removed the dealer button from empty tables

🛠️ Fixes & Bugs

  • Fixed PKO payout edge cases where dust-sized or rounding prizes stranded the last payouts and left tournaments unfinalized

  • Fixed re-entering with Tournament Dollars (T$) debiting your balance without putting you back in the tournament

  • Fixed players unable to late-register or re-enter certain tournaments

  • Fixed tournament tables not opening on iOS

  • Fixed the re-entry button taking minutes to appear and tables not opening immediately on re-entry

  • Fixed the Satellites tab showing an empty skeleton forever in the table window

  • Fixed the payouts shown in tournament info not matching the actual payouts, and prize payouts not appearing in your Transactions ledger

  • Fixed UTG being forced to post a second big blind, and players charged the big blind several hands in a row
