[Phenom Poker] Official Thread

Welcome to the official thread for Phenom Poker! My name is Michael Dunlap and I am part of the Phenom team, focusing on marketing and communications. Phenom aims to be the first truly community-driven poker site in existence. Created by players, for players and owned by the player community. Why Phenom Poker Play a raked hand, you're an owner. We have a revolutionary way of handling rakeback and player benefits, centered around the PHNM token. This token cannot be purchased, it cannot be sold, it can only be earned through play or through referring new players. You can learn more about the PHNM token here (https://www.phenompoker.com/phenom-token). Long story short, you earn rakeback that at the end of the week gets paid out in the PHNM token. Those tokens earn you rakeback in perpetuity. Yes, forever. Just want regular rakeback? You can sell your tokens. Want to hold them and continue to earn even if you don't play? That's the beautiful part of the system. Once you're an owner (literally one raked hand), your tokens will earn forever. You have a say in all that we do. We don't want Phenom Poker to just be the result of ideas from a few people. We want Phenom to be constantly evolving from ideas and desires of the community as a whole. Join the community to discuss anything. Whether it's here, on Discord, on Telegram or if you tap us on the shoulder in the street, we want to hear from you and your voice matters. Ask for a new game variant, propose governance or suggest a promotion. If the players want it, we will deliver. What games and limits we offer. We spread limits from micros (.02/.05) all the way up to high stakes (300/600). We offer all of the regular games (NLH, PLO, PLO5, Stud, Draw) as well as a number of different mix variants (Badugi, Badeucy, Triple Draw, Dramaha, etc). Since launch (early October 2024), we have seen regular low-to-mid stakes NLH, PLO, Big O and Mixed games being played. There are also a handful of HU tables regularly going. In the next few months, we'll be adding PLO6, Super Stud, Chinese Poker, and of course...tournaments. Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/aWvWNPs9 Join our Telegram: @PhenomPoker Frequently Asked Questions Do you have a standalone client? As of today's date, we have built out the client and are going through testing. Keep an eye out for more announcements in the very near future. Can I deposit via PayPal or something other than a crypto wallet? You may only deposit via a crypto wallet, however, we have built a tool where you can convert your currency (see supported currencies here (https://www.phenompoker.com/post/phenom-digest-1-new-games-table-refactor-bonuses)) into USDT directly in your Phenom account. We are always around and willing to help folks learn the ins-and-outs of depositing crypto. We also have a number of resources to help you, including our tutorial videos at YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@PhenomPokerTV). I'd really like to see (insert feature here). Our product roadmap (like everything else we do) is there for you to look at and vote on as an owner of the site. Once you're logged in, simply click on the menu and select "roadmap." From there, you'll see what we're currently working on and what we're considering working on. If you don't see your idea, pitch it to us! Currently in progress are tournaments, leaderboards, updated dashboards, improved UI and more. Have questions? Comments? Concerns? Feel free to ask. I'm here daily and am happy to discuss anything and everything around Phenom Poker. Hope to see you on the (digital) felt!

Hi everyone, This account will be run by the Phenom Poker team. We've set this account up so we can answer questions directly in this thread and help clarify anything about the platform, gameplay, or rewards. Happy to jump in where useful. Cheers!

Nice! Official thread! Since I didn't get a chance to reply to your question on the other thread since it is now closed. That's being discussed as I type this reply! One thing we are developing that will be released in the upcoming weeks is a rake race/leaderboards. Whether the winners earn tokens, USDT or tournament entries hasn't yet been decided. You're an owner, Jay, what kind of promotion would you like to see?

Honestly, leaderboards seem good. They get players playing more and longer. Would there be different leaderboards based on stake level or game types? For me, stake level would be important because I play micros. Also, some games like split games seem to generate more rake because pots are bigger. The site is really drives a lot of mixed games so it's not like the leaderboards could solely be NLHE. I don't know how we could accommodate the smaller player base with multiple different types of leaderboards.

See full post

There will definitely be different levels for leaderboards. You're spot on in saying that it would favor the highest limits. As for mixed games driving more revenue, I'm not sure there. They do have less hands go unraked (folded before flop) but NLHE sees 100%+ more hands. Will have to keep an eye on it and make sure there's a fair way to do it. Thanks for your reply, love seeing that you're invested in Phenom.

Hey all, just wanted to drop in with an update on what's going on the next few days at Phenom. Yesterday, we had World Champion Sergio Aido drop in and play some 2/4 NLH with us, which was cool. Probably the first time I've played with a World Champ (at least that I'm aware of). The next two days, we have two more of our pros dropping in to play on a featured table: Angela Jordison (DownBad) Thursday, December 5th at 5:00pm ET 1/2 Big O Francisco Benitez (Tomatee) Friday, December 6th at 6:00pm ET 1/2 NLH

In addition to our featured tables, you never know who might show up! Ari Engel, Eric Baldwin, Alec Torelli, Justin Young and Nathan Gamble have all been in action recently. As always, if you have any questions, let me know!

Some cool new updates for everyone! New Referral Program Phenom Poker has released a new referral program. There are two big draws here. First is that you can earn rakeback from your referrals (USDT or PHNM, your choice) forever. Once they qualify ($100 generated in a week), you get a % (tops out at 30%) every week forever. The second big draw is that you don't need to be an official agent to take advantage. Poker Agents/Affiliates, Streamers, Influencers, Content Creators, or even just ordinary players can all participate and earn. Check out all the info here (https://www.phenompoker.com/referral-program). Tournaments & Leaderboards We've released some more information about upcoming feature releases. Notably, you can see screenshots about tournaments and our rake race/leaderboards that will be released in the very near future (leaderboard first, tournaments after). The post with the screenshots is right here (https://www.phenompoker.com/post/phenom-digest-3-tournaments-leaderboards-redesigns-and-more). As usual, I'm here to answer any questions people might have!

Hello, what are the peak hours on your pokersite? Everytime i log in there arent any players at all! Sometimes not even 1 full cash table, not even at the lowest stakes! What action is heating up? At what time exactly? Makes no sense at all to deposit any money if you cant spend it... Hope you finish implementing tournaments and sitandgos as soon as possible...maybe then you have at least a handfull of players and a little action going on... Wish you good luck with your site..i find the concept very appealing. Hopefully you can attract a playerbase. in the meantime i will continue playing on coinpoker...there they have at least 1500-2500 people playing... Good luck.

Any plo5 running? What times, what stakes?

Hey there! Yes, we are seeing plo5 games periodically. Generally there's a .25/.50 game going during regular US hours and a bigger game (2/4 up to 5/10) has been sprouting up daily. These are high-only games, FYI.

Thanks so much for reaching out. We are on a three-week streak of increased revenue and we are seeing regular action every day. If you're looking for 30 live games to choose from, of course we're not there yet, we're not even a couple months old. However, we are seeing regular action daily. Just yesterday we had two .50/1 Big O games, a 3-6 Mix Game and a .50/1 NLH game along with a handful of heads-up games and people waiting to start other limits. We believe we're filling a gap in the online poker community (mixed games) and when we release tournaments we're fully expecting everything to really start growing quickly. Two main things set us apart from Coinpoker. First, we offer mixed games, that have action every day. They're usually getting going later in the US day, the other day we had two different 6/12 mixes (Fun, Circus) going at the same time. On a typical day, there will be a lower-limit mixed game (up to 6/12) and players trying to start a higher-limit game (15/30+). The other thing that separates us is how our token works. You earn ownership in the site, which in turn earns you additional revenue share and voting rights. Our token price is a direct function of revenue. As the revenue rises, the token price will rise (as it did last week). Like a stock, you want to find that bottom and buy. Since you can't buy PHNM, you can earn by playing (or referring). Is there a specific game/limit you're looking for? I'd be happy to drop you a line when it starts going if you want to give us a shot. LMK. Completely understand where you're coming from. Everyone wants to wake up tomorrow and see 1, 000 players on site.

Drop the kyc and get a playerbase. Just my 2 cents.

Can you help me understand this request? KYC (Know Your Customer) seems vital to know Im playing on a safer site that isn't bot infested. No site is perfect from avoiding these kind of things but I'm genuinely asking (want to know, and not being sarcastic), what am I missing? Don't people feel safer on sites like this? I like the fact they take a little time to vet the player b ase.

Bots are still a big problem on regulated licenced sites with KYC.

Bots are still a big problem on regulated licenced sites with KYC.

people who live in nice neighborhoods also get mugged sometimes so it's no different from living in the ghetto

by MarkDavis m (https://www.twoplustwo.com/post?postId=58845429#post58845429)

Bots are still a big problem on regulated licenced sites with KYC.

Difference with Phenom is that there isn't a few owners at the top. Why would other sites want to ban bots? Owners wouldn't care because they bring in revenue. As long as players are non the wiser and still playing. At Phenom everyone is an owner and a player via the token. Every player doesn't want to play bots. So, it's in everyone's best interest to not have bots.

Thanks, Jay. I think that's the biggest thing we're trying to get across at Phenom is that we are as transparent as any poker site you've ever seen. You are literally part owner of the site if you own any PHNM tokens. You have voting rights. You have access to the blockchain and can see how much revenue we're making. And I know some folks have (rightfully) wanted to wait for more games and more traffic before checking us out -- and I get it, I'm a player -- but today is a really good example of what we're building. Here are games currently running: .25/.50 NLHE 10/20 Mix 2/4 Mix .50/1 Big O .50/1 NLHE .02/.05 NLHE 1/2 Big O On top of that, there are 8 heads up games and 9 ring games with a seated player. Revenue has grown three weeks in a row, we have tournaments on the horizon and a slew of improvements from UI/UX to bug squashes. If you're frustrated where you're at now, give us a shot. If you need help with how to load crypto, we're here to help.

Hi Mike, I have noticed that people do preflop raise to 2.25 and 2.5x. I have put these numbers with a "." as well as "," into the settings, but the stored phone app version doesn't give me the option to preflop raise to these numbers. The slider just offers the full bb amount. I can manually type it, but that is too time consuming. Other players pfr very fast regulary, so I assume there must be an option. Can you give me an advice to solve that problem?

Hello Phenom Team, Your poker site is really nice. I enjoy playing there. Though I'd like to suggest a three things to improve the Software:

• A more resonable time bank. Not excessive, but a 45 sec. should be fine.
• An option to adjust an automatic "table highlighting/ action popup", so players do not have to manually click every table to get to it.
• An option to adjust overbet sizing. So far I can only type a maximum of 100% pot. I really hope more players find their way to this site. The software is enjoyable, field is soft, the rakeback is great, and on top of that Phenom pays rackeback bonusses immideately even after collecting the points. Means, I was already Gold member raked amount x, and after doing another deposit with a bonus, the bonus money was deposited instantly to my account. I have never seen anything like this from the large sites. A really customer orientated move. So if you are a fish, please join the tables ;-)

Thank you so much for the feedback, one of the cool things about this time is that we can adapt our development as need be. As for the time bank, I'll pass that along. I've found that issue myself, especially when multi-tabling, because of your second comment. As for that, we are implementing the swipe format when we release our new UI/UX, which is literally being worked on every day. On the preset buttons, we will get this fixed for you ASAP!

We are still working on tournaments, every single day. And, we will have numerous freerolls once we launch. I'll update you here as often as possible!

They just added overbet sizing presets upto 300.

There isn't a lot of 5nl and 10nl. But the games do run sometimes. I suspect there will be an uptick in these limits once the Leaderboards get released.

Games are all in USDT, rakeback is rewarded in Phenom Tokens. When you get your tokens on Mondays, you can exchange them back into USDT if you please. However, many players are choosing to hold on to them because they represent ownership of the site. You receive weekly revenue shares of the rake from the prior week based on the number tokens you hold. They really are NOT a shitcoin. They can ONLY be acquired via rakeback or referrals. Nobody can outright buy them.

What countries are allowed? Site wants me to do the KYC before even knowing if I'll be allowed to play on their site from my jurisdiction, that seems silly (albeit convenient to get all my data lol)

Looking to play but every exchange I look at has like a week long hold on deposits before I can transfer out. Does anyone know of a place to buy a low amount of crypto so I can hop on tonight? Or is that pretty much impossible?

This is definitely one of the biggest barriers for players that never deposited crypto and are making their first deposit here. I had to wait a week before I could play too. Also, after depositing on an exchange, it's recommended to send the crypto first to a defi wallet before depositing to your Phenom wallet. I used Kraken for exchange and Metamask as my defi wallet. There are a bunch of tutorials on their YouTube.

On most exchanges if you use a debit card to purchase crypto you can send off the site instantly. Only the bank transfers take a week. The only downside is debit cards have a fee but the bank transfers to your USD balance do not

What games/limits are you looking for? If it's NLH, yes, that growth has been somewhat slow. If it's mixed games, Big O, PLO5, we're absolutely seeing tremendous growth and people have cleared the full bonus even back when we weren't consistently setting new traffic records each week.

since you acknowledge the difficulty in clearing a bonus for nl, why not remove any expiration on it for people who sign up now?

Hey Rick, that's a valid question, but there's a good reason why that wouldn't help us achieve our goals. Deposit bonuses are meant to drive more traffic, so if we allowed folks to wait/hold that bonus until there was more traffic, it would just be giving money away. Now, as I mentioned before, we've grown by leaps and bounds and tournaments are also on the horizon. We had people clear the entirety of their bonuses the last time through (3000 USDT) and with so many more options now, it's definitely doable.

() NEW FEATURE: Desktop Table Refactor Over the last several months, we've been hard at work iterating on what we called v1 of our tables, going through a complete refactor (overhaul) of the entire experience. As of today, we're thrilled to announce the culmination of that hard work, as we release v2 for desktop (mobile to follow), the next generation of play at Phenom Poker. What's New? Overhauled UI/UX Almost everything on the table has been enlarged and/or slightly moved, in an effort to eliminate dead space and improve readability with less overlap. Action buttons appear above the player name on each nameplate, keeping the name and stack values visible. Hamburger Menu We've moved the menu to the upper right corner, which will expand and contract as you interact with it. You'll find options such as table info, hand history, tile tables, sit out options, general settings and leave table. Improved Chat Functionality Chat is now handled as a slide-in module that appears above the action. Simply click on the bottom left corner where the icon is and you can chat without leaving the action. Chat bubbles appear above player names and a red dot will indicate if there is new chat to read. Table Tiling Like to multi-table? We've installed a one-click table tiling feature that will get all of your tables in their spot. Ease of Future Improvements This refactor clears the way for future improvements that our community has requested, like double board games and run it twice. FAQ Q. When is mobile coming? A. It's already in development! The good news is the desktop refactor was the bulk of the work, mobile will not take nearly as long. Q. Do the tiled tables pop to the front? A. They do! Q. Wasn't there a sound settings option coming? A. Yes! It's on the way and should be in an upcoming release.

US players welcomed?

US players welcomed?

Yeah I got on the site today from the US no problem. The software is great and the rake-sharing feature is an extra incentive to play there. I can't wait for there to be more players, I may have to approach their team with a marketing proposition of some kind since that's my day job.

I would advise anyone to avoid this site until they openly release hand histories. There is a whale running around the lobby for days now crushing regs from 200-2k , this guy wouldn't last 1 hour on any proper site. Obviously no way to analyze whats going on because there are no HH's available.

I'm referring to a downloadable one, not this crap.

I think some of the problem with the RNG is the software deals very slowly compared to some other sites that deal very fast, so on the slow sites like this one and ignition it takes longer for some guy's good run to end. No I don't know if that is the problem but I'm thinking I never see stuff like this on a site that I play that deals twice as fast as this one. But I always felt the same way on ignition cuz I felt that site was rigged cuz it was incredible how a guy just hit hand after hand after hand for such a period but then you just realized 2 hours later it's only been about 110 hands because the site deals so slow

It's worth noting our RNG has been tested and certified by Gaming Labs, an industry leader in this business. It was originally certified back on March 27, 2024 and was re-certified on March 4, 2025. Here's the info if you'd like to review: https://access.gaminglabs.com/Certificat... (https://access.gaminglabs.com/Certificate/Index?i=530) As for someone running hot and winning pot after pot, I think the best way to answer that is, "that's poker baby." In all seriousness, if you feel there is something more than variance happening, please feel free to reach out to me and I will research it.

I have reached out on numerous occasions. I have sent a bunch of hand histories in. You guys give the same answer it's variance. Now like I said there's a difference between dealing fairly and dealing randomly. You guys always like to use our random generated deals fairly. But I've spoken with people that certify random generators they say as long as everybody's getting for example more flushes than they should it's then Fair. But if it was randomly dealt that wouldn't happen. But if you take the amount of time someone's supposed to hit a flush as long as everybody's hitting a flush as an example more often it's still then technically fair. I was told years ago when there's not a lot of traffic on a site you will see things that you wouldn't normally see it other times. I wish I had saved that email

There's nothing rigged about the site. I play here daily. I lose, and I win as I should. I've played on all the sites since 2007 and poker hasn't been this fun since the full tilt/stars days. I've never felt safer playing poker online. It actually feels like i'm playing against humans again and is the closest experience I've ever had to playing live poker, online. The team is extremely responsive any time there is an issue, they release updates at least 1-2x's a week. There's no deposit/withdraw limits, no rollovers to prevent you from cashing out YOUR money when you want it, the site never has control of your funds, they give players ownership as you grind. You really think they did all of this effort to make the playing experience for players top notch and then have some random "whale" as you put it running around super using come on dude. They have 50/100 and 150/300 games running with some of the biggest names in the world. The CEO sits in the games and loses just like everyone else. They're working on downloadable hand histories and have been one of the most transparent sites to date that I've ever played on, but tournaments and new software has been the priority for the past few months. You ran bad or played bad and lost fair and square. That's poker, but taking shots and trying to hurt a business because you lost money is insane work with literally 0 proof. Show me some hands that are suspicious. You can look at your hand histories even if you can't download them at the moment. Take some screenshots of "suspicious hands" and post them here.

Any estimate on when you're gonna have MTTs available?

Our developers are working every day to create MTTs and SNGs. We want to make sure that we provide a fully tested tournament experience for all of our players and will announce a launch date as soon as we can

Is a HUD allowed?

No HUD right now, and there isn't a good way to get text versions of hand histories at the moment. But even if there was, I can't imagine HUDs would be allowed. If enough players want a HUD we could probably do a vote, but I don't think the majority would vote in favour for it. Also, most of the games that are running are different mixed games, and there aren't even trackers that support a lot of the games. I honestly would like a built in HUD to show simple stuff like GG does. VPIP, PFR, 3bet etc. would be nice. However, the team is hard at work with tournies, and this would be a nice-to-have way done the road, I would think.

Post the hands, man. I would love to see all 20 of them.

There is no downloadable hand history though. How would I post hands? But I give will give you one of my favorites from memory. I'm playing this guy heads up I have ace 665 with two hearts in pot limit Omaha. The flop comes down six four Queen with two hearts. I bet the guy raises I re-rays we get it all in he has King 10 9x. Yes you read that right Queen 65 flop this guy gets all in with King 10 9 and I forget what the other card was but it was not close to what the board was. He hits perfect runner runner for a straight. So I got a set I have the flush covered what the hell is he shoving his hand with? Nobody knows and hits perfect runner runner straight. I actually reported the guy because he had hit like 15 hands in a row on me just like that. He had no hearts so no flush draw no straight draw not even a pair. What was he calling with? No clue but that was one of the hands I had actually sent to the site and I said to check a few other hands from the same player. And of course they give me the same answer they always do. Now once again I am not saying the site is rigged I'm saying they at phenom poker have even told me they're a different levels of certification you can get for your random generator. And I'll bet you most people don't know that. Some sites have better levels of random number generator certification than other sites.

They require KYC before you can sit down and play is the first thing that comes to mind. Rather than at cashout. Cheaters are banned and placed on a public blacklist board w/ their KYC'd info. They are extremely responsive to the smallest issues. I've never seen a poker site so responsive. They are in Discord answering questions, helping, and fixing issues what seems like 24/7. It actually feels like you're playing against humans. People chat at the tables, players use real 3d avatars of themselves. They have a built-in feature to create a 3d avatar of yourself. High stakes require real name displayed. Lots of things make it feel like actually playing live poker.

They've said they are working on it, but haven't given a date or timeline. They are mostly putting ALL their resources on STTs and MTTs. Honestly, this site feels really good in a web browser. The only thing I think is missing is a table popup feature when it's your turn to act and they don't need an actual desktop app to get that to work. It's just a feature they haven't added yet. Why do you want a desktop app? What does it give you that a web app doesn't? Even PokerStars has been working on a web version now after the desktop app.

They do have table tiling now for the web client.

yea, intuitive table auto focuses the table under the mouse to make it active. And those hotkeys look like they are combo keys. with intuitive tables i just press F key and it folds. the tiling for table management works if you are only playing on phenom but if you are playing multiple sites, table organization software fits them into a pre made grid regardless of which site it is so it makes playing multiple sites smooth

How to cashout PHNM token?

by Lmntn m (https://www.twoplustwo.com/post?postId=58966263#post58966263)

How to cashout PHNM token?

You get the tokens every Monday from Rakeback during the week, so you must wait until then if you have some Pending. When your Pending rewards turn into PHNM you can then redeem them back to USDT directly to your wallet. Lmntn you can do this by going to the Redeem tab of the Rewards Manager. To get to the Rewards manager click here or here:

() Then you can type in the amount you want to redeem:

Update: the dev team fixed the issue, support was super responsive.

If you haven't seen this yet there are ways to look up your or other ppl results on Phenom. There are two ways to do it. Both use my site https://eye4chains.com/ . First method is more precise but it only works for your own results. It also assumes that you deposit from your personal polygon wallet and not from an exchange. Set "you address" to the one you use for deposits on the site. Set "casino address" to the one you are depositing to. For the rest default stuff should be fine. Except you need to set the number of days you want to look up as you wish. I will plug 7777 and here are my results.

() Second method is less precise but allows you to snoop on other ppl too. First you need to figure out their address on Phenom aka their deposit address. Each time they put money on a table the transfer happens from their address on Phenom to the address 0x37AEFbD92631Ed932f1C1ed355fAc8d2a8EC68DC . You can look up the recent token transfers to this address on Polygonscan and see their phenom address. Here is the link to the list of those transactions https://polygonscan.com/address/0x37AEFb... (https://polygonscan.com/address/0x37AEFbD92631Ed932f1C1ed355fAc8d2a8EC68DC#tokentxns) . For example here Mattew Valeo rebuys for 5k and you can see his transaction.

()

() Once you know their Phenom address. You plug it in https://eye4chains.com/ as "your address". And you put as "casino address" the following "0x37AEFbD92631Ed932f1C1ed355fAc8d2a8EC68DC 0xA3f501efa06457e1d16a6ce0E9c7aAA7cCb347B7 0xc10e197e783394d08310f5013f05362a64a891c4". And for days you can put 7777 again or whatever. Lets try it on the tolyawa's address 0xcca5de01d3300f11c2407f8d03681bb250cdcfe1. He invented this second method and popularized it on his telegram channel https://t.me/tolyaveronika Telegram ; (https://t.me/tolyaveronika)

Does this also include revenue share, token redemption, and bonus releases?

by jaykrz m (https://www.twoplustwo.com/post?postId=58975578#post58975578)

Does this also include revenue share, token redemption, and bonus releases? I figured it out, it looks like those come from different addresses. So, they wouldn't be included.

Yes you are right. The second method misses most of miscellaneous transfers. You can figure out them separately if you really want. For example you can redeem 1 token and see which address will send you the payment. I got paid by 0x937b54FD8952A1226CA06591f2b5723A946f3079 so it is probably the same for you. Now I can plug this address as "casino address" and my address on phenom as "my address" and see how much I got through redeemeptions.

() Another thing I can do is to plug some big number say 7777 instead of "casino address" and again put my address on phenom as "my address". Then I will get all the addresses which my address was ever transacting with. It could help to figure out the miscellaneous transfers if really needed.

() I guess the last two addresses are 200$ of bonus and glorious 0.25$ of revenue share. PS: In general the "revenue share" is a joke. Insiders have like 25KK tokens and players are given some dust. IMO the whole idea of the token is that insiders get the ability to transfer almost 50% of the rake into their pockets. While the second 50% is paying for rakeback, referrals, depo bonuses etc and whatever tiny percentage is left is supposed to pay for operating expenses. Which is prolly > 1KK$ a month. So they just need to continuously find new investors to inject liquidity until they run out of donks.

There are players with nearly as many tokens as "insiders". moxieman has almost 100k($89, 000 USD Redeemable Value at todays token price) tokens just from playing 4/8 mixed games. That would also pay him about $100/wk at current earnings and put him in the top 50 of all token holders. don't think the token payments are a "joke" at all. Also the tokens have gone up in price 4x and as we all know that's not speculation, that's from revenue generated. You're looking at the dividends now when the site earns 100k/wk.. we're not betting on today we're betting when they've introduced tournaments, sports betting, slots, prediction markets, etc and the site brings in millions a week you could be easily looking at 4+ figure payments a week with as little as 50-100k tokens. Show me another site who's rakeback pays you $100/wk on top of their redeemable value. Shit my dividend stocks pay me less than phenom and they pay me 1 time a quarter! The "insiders" invested thousands of hours and millions of dollars to get the site to the point it is. I have no issues with them making some money because we're all making money off their work. Most of them didn't get paid a dime for it either and not a single "insider" has sold tokens. This isn't no pump & dump scheme, the phenom team is here to do something different and I'm really really excited for it. It has been the best online poker experience I've had since pre-bf stars days and it's not even close! Just how responsive they are to assistance, issues, etc is unlike any other site i've played on. I've never waited more than an hour for a response. They also release new features/updates/etc almost weekly. Super responsive, and very active team. You just sound kind of salty because you haven't put in the work to grind out tokens.. Your $600 in redemption means you've grinded out less than 1k tokens and you've been redeeming them instead of holding them. Your loss! But how much do you expect to get paid from dividends when you haven't put in any work to obtain tokens? I'm sure Jungle, Nemo, Isildur(I MEAN COME ON!), and Huckseed all signed on because it was a scheme for insiders. I've never sold any of my tokens and my rakeback has done a 4x since launch :shrug: and my weekly payments keep climbing. I'm not selling any rakeback until $10+ a token. The dividends are just icing on the cake.. I have grinded out over 5 figures of phenom tokens since the beginning(no where near moxies) and i'm pretty happy with my revenue share for what I've got + redeemable value of my rakeback.. I've earned over 100% RAKEBACK!!!! I also think you're incredibly wrong with this "need to find investors to inject funding" bit. The site is making nearly a half million dollars a month and it only offers cash games with a very small team.. They're fine, and haven't announced any new funding since launch. All the tokens still sitting in the treasury ready for players. The other thing I love is how transparent the site is. Find another poker site where the average player knows everything about the financials of the site they play on. You can see EXACTLY how much money the site makes on the blockchain. There are no secrets. Where you can deposit and cashout within 1 minute of each other if you want, in any amount you want. I mean, honestly what's not to like about it? Meanwhile over on Club WPT gold you can wait 7+ days for your cashout, no rakeback, and get hit with a 1099 even when you cash out less than you deposited. But you do you.

So is the goal to never cash in tokens? When u redeem what is redeemable is that the tokens, or it that just rake back? It's kind of confusing to me.

It's completely up to you. You will see two numbers in your rewards section. Pending USDT and Available PHNM. During the week you will earn Pending rakeback under the Pending section. Every Monday, that rakeback turns into PHNM based on the price of the token. This is the main way to earn them. You can not buy them.

• You can choose to redeem them to USDT immediately to your wallet based on the PHNM token price right now it's 0.89.
• You can hold on to them and hope the PHNM token price rises in value. I am hoping tournies will make it jump a lot. Then you can redeem them for more USDT.
• You may choose to hold PHNM much longer because they represent ownership of the site. You earn revenue each week based on the rake that the site earned that week. It's not much now (I am only earning a few bucks), but it could be a nice weekly earn just for holding if the site gets big

Well we can look here on who are the holders of Phenom token. https://polygonscan.com/token/0x35d4F6D8... (https://polygonscan.com/token/0x35d4F6D876d6c14775DF8A74b8dE3A699cF458AC#balances) The biggest acc seems to contain unused tokens. Out of the rest top 64 holders everyone except two accs got vast majority of their tokens in big round payments. You can take any address, plug it into https://eye4chains.com/ as "To address", set "From address" to "100", select "token by contract address" and "token contract address" as 0x35d4F6D876d6c14775DF8A74b8dE3A699cF458AC. You will get something like this where all the money came in two big transactions.

() So I guess they are investors/insiders. I did the arithmetics. They hold 28,793,860 tokens out of 29,273,925 tokens in use. The remaining ppl hold 480,065 tokens. Investors/insiders hold 98.39% of tokens. And if the token works as it stated they are paid 49.1% of net rake. My opinion is that you cannot extract from your startup this hard this early. Especially when it is very unprofitable. That's all I wanted to say and I'm fine if you disagree with this opinion. But if you think my arithmetics is wrong or something I'm ready to see yours.

Some reamarks on non-insider holders. Lets look on those two non insiders that hold more than 20k tokens. One of them is Tolyawa with 41k tokens.

() So I guess the second one is your boy moxieman with 74k tokens.

() As you can see from the pic the address that pays normal rakeback only paid him 28k. So the rest is ether additional prop rakeback or affiliate payments or something else. Also he lost 35k$ on tables to get those tokens.

() So he is loosing with the just normal rakeback and needs his extra stuff to get into profits. And those profits will only be realized if he will be able to cashout his tokens. If tomorrow token redemptions stop then he is just down 35k$.

It's completely up to you.You will see two numbers in your rewards section. Pending USDT and Available PHNM. During the week you will earn Pending rakeback under the Pending section. Every Monday, that rakeback turns into PHNM based on the price of the token. This is the main way to earn them. You can not buy them.- You can choose to redeem them to USDT immediately to your wall... See full post

I'm sure one of you blockchain wizards can answer this. what's the amount of PHNM tokes it takes to receive $1 revenue share weekly?

racdbn Why are you constantly complaining? Just play more and you’ll get more tokens — what’s the problem? Become an ambassador, and you’ll get tokens too. Invest early, and you’d have received tokens as well. But instead, you wrote a useless utility and now you’re here bothering everyone with it. If you’re trying to say that there’s no free money here for people who don’t actually do anything on the site — then yeah… that’s absolutely true.

The marketing for this site seems to be absolutely terrible… even the name of the site gives off this is gonna be full of pros…

They have mentioned that there will be a big marketing push. But, right now, they want to get tournaments running. I suspect once tournaments are running well and the bugs are ironed out, there will be more marketing.

Just signed up and played all day, love the ability play and practice mix games at a low buy-in. I have concluded that I am dogwater at BigO, but like others in the thread have been saying, it feels much more like regular poker. At one point in time all 6 players were chatting it up at the table. Pretty cool compared to playing at wsop.nv where all I can do is throw a poop emoji at you. Just going through depositing though, it was easy for me since I'm used to using crypto for poker, but for the average casino poker player/mixed games player, I feel like the developers need to figure out a partnership with some crypto website that makes it so you can just do bank account deposit. Even if it's through a middle man or something -- if I didn't know crypto and had to figure out how to make a wallet and buy USDT specifically on the polygon network and not ethereum and then transfer it, then I wouldn't be using this website to play poker. I imagine that the vast majority of the type of player that you want to play against will not be able to deposit on this site without a middle man to their debit card.

Loving Big O, it's been the main game I have been playing. The Phenom team has several YouTube videos on their channel to help players with all the steps needed to deposit and withdraw from their Phenom Wallet, but I agree with you. It is the biggest roadblock to getting players on the site. I've brought up bank account deposits in the Discord. It's a slippery slope because of legal issues. I believe Coinpoker just added this, so I am not sure how they are getting around the legal issues, maybe it's only available in certain jurisdictions. Who knows, maybe they can add something like this in the future, but right now all the engineering efforts are going toward Tournaments.

Nobody? I understand this is going to be continuously fluid and I probably didn't word it very well lol I'm never going to be putting in a ton of volume here unless traffic picks up substantially and I'm not interested in holding phnm for pure speculation so was just curious how hard it is to get actual rev share or if coins are so concentrated among a small handful it'll never be possible for me

See full post

Not sure exactly how to calculate it. It's based on the amount of rake the site earned, and I suppose the percentage of the overall tokens you hold. 50mm being the total minted. I earned a "whopping" 3.87 USDT this week at 4,445.56 PHNM. So, if I divide that by 3.87 it would be 1,148.72 PHNM? I think that makes sense. I've been referencing this dashboard https://www.phenompoker.com/phnm-dashboa... (https://www.phenompoker.com/phnm-dashboard), which shows the current weekly rake total. I haven't got confirmation that it is 100% accurate. It's been showing around 100k rake per week, which is very small compared to some of the big sites. So if you are holding that much PHNM this early, you could be earning some good rev share later on if it gets big.

that's perfect, jay! lets me know I have zero shot at rev share with my volume. appreciate the info bud!

Ya, but if you think about it, if the site 10x's in size from today, it would be like 114.87 PHNM to earn 1 USDT in rev share... I think.. Although it will be hard to earn those PHNM at that point... but if you earn them now and hodl them it will be a lot easier.

I've been doing this for a long time, and this has nothing to do with Phenom and everything to do with the market as a whole, but I find it extremely difficult to imagine a crypto site 10x's it's player pool in the current market environment without massive mainstream marketing. I've been grinding SWC for like a decade. a lot of positives there. player pool has done nothing but shrink along with every other site. the only one flourishing was WPTGold, and a lot of that had to do with a very known brand, some very high profile promoters, the ease of transacting with the sweeps model to the average player, and a very very soft player pool that was somewhat insulated with the one table cap. as soon as their desktop client gets sorted out and pro's can multi-table those games go from amazing to just good, but the net losers will start losing much faster and will quit depositing. then its just a matter of time till its like every other site. I like the idea here, but it's a niche within a niche. the market sucks. too much other stuff for people to do online now. very little new blood coming into poker.

Have registred to 0.2-0.5 with 3.79 usdt And cant dee it

Click the stack of poker chips when someone makes a bet or the amount beneath your name, and it will correct itself. I've noticed it does this initially, it might be a small bug or something.

That works ….. 🙏

I'm probably in the minority.... but i don't want to have to be a blockchain/crypto expert to play poker. It feels like the majority of the focus is on the crypto tech side. I understand the legal restrictions and other reasons why the site is set up this way.... but it's definitely exclusionary for someone like me. I want to register, but I don't see how im gonna be comfortable enough to ever engage with the client to the extent necessary. Anyway, thats what the barrier for entry feels like for someone like me. I'm again, probably in the minority in terms of who they're excluding, but I also put in a ton of volume every single day on other sites... so they'd want me. I used to play on SWC back in the day, but I think all of this token stuff feels like probably a step too far for me. I'm too old... and not smart enough I guess.... again thats what it feels like for me. Sucks. I love the game offerings, and I hope they have success.

I get it, and its unfortunate. I've been around crypto for a long time but I'm far from an on-chain expert. the first deposit I made here, forgot to select the proper network and nuked it off into the abyss 😃 to be 100% honest with you, for me personally, it was easiest to use bitcoin cash. after I floated that initial deposit off tyring to use the polygon network I went back to what I know. I've used BCH a lot on bonition because its fast and cheap. was able to grab some and easily send it over for next to nothing. best of luck with whatever you decide to do, bud.

Thanks for even responding. I really appreciate it. The extent of my poker/crypto experience was using coinbase, getting banned from coinbase, finding another wallet, using that to fund SWC and then using a BTC ATM to withdrawl when necessary when BTC was at $300 ... oh so long ago, lol. I'm not looking to hijack the thread and turn it into a crypto thread.... but yeah for sure that's the barrier for entry for me. I don't want a massive learning curve both in knowledge or in -EV cost of doing exactly what you described of either sending the money into never, neverland or losing my wallet passcode? or god knows what else i've done. I just want to play poker and if I win $15, I have $15. I understand there's an opportunity cost to having games available and being able to play the wide array of mixed games they offer. Its why I'm so tempted, but without someone holding my hand with this stuff, I just don't know. It's a steep re-learning curve. Anyway, thanks again for the response. Like I said, not trying to hijack/derail the thread, but wanted to provide some feedback to the company itself (because I like everything I'm hearing regarding the client offerings) from someone who's played online for years.... currently plays online every day and wants to play on here... but is struggling to take the next step.

You are not the minority; many people don't know how to deposit on this site. I brought it up before launch. I had no idea how to buy any crypto... complete noob. I ended up watching some of their tutorials and figured out how to get some funds on there.

• Deposit on a crypto exchange
• then withdraw to a defi wallet
• had to switch POL to USDT ( had to do this because I think exchanges in my area didn't allow USDT directly )
• then send to my Phenom Wallet Definitely not straight forward. Most players have a credit card or something and just want to put money on and play. Crypto adoption is growing, they've added other crypto deposit methods. More and more players will eventually get money on there, but I agree it is the biggest issue holding this site back. If you are still interested, like someone else said, the team is extremely helpful and will walk you through it. Either join the discord or you could also send an email to [email]support@phenompoker.com[/email].

What in the world are you trying to say? Everyone got paid rakeback as it has been for our entire existence. The freerolls that were announced for this week are for internal beta testing. "pay for this" um that's precisely what a freeroll is

Two things at play here. First, many NLH hands end before the flop. That means no rake, and thus, no rakeback. If you want more rakeback, the site would have to rake more. Is that what you'd like to see?

I only wanted get cashback from my winning hands, where banks were 100$, 70$, etc. near 10-12 theese hands. But now even dint respect you and will choose another site to play with more comfortable programming and support

There are consistently games at the .25/.50 NL range, .50/1 goes periodically. Right now the big action is around PLO (10/20 to 25/50), PLO5 and Mixed games (50/100 to 100/200).

Questionable taste and questionable opinions, Mr. Rickroll. Not that I owe you an explanation, but when someone makes claims that they are being wronged, I...wait for it...investigate! And that investigation involves looking at an account to make sure there's nothing wrong. So when I look at an account of someone who claims they're being wronged and yet they're still willingly playing, that says a lot about the claim. Just because someone is a representative of a site doesn't mean they have to sit and be bullied and watch people spread lies and flame the site. Thank you for continuing to engage, I'm always happy to chop it up.

First, nice name. Second, the site doesn't offer free money games, BUT I think I can help you (and anyone, really) out.

(https://play.phenompoker.com/register?r=uGtEdk) You can DM me your username and I'll double check you've been added to the site and I'll shoot you $5 on Phenom so you can get a feel for it without having to deposit. Games are available as low as .02/.05 so you can check things out. I'm not expecting 100's of people to jump on this, but if somehow it gets out of hand I'll stop it at the first 100 people.

please please please help us out here. the goal with these types of things should be to reduce the neural load. this is the exact opposite. I'm old, it is very tiresome on my eyes lol

by jungmit m (https://www.twoplustwo.com/post?postId=59007867#post59007867)

I am happy. I am just telling u all news sites have this wild variance due to RNG inconsistency when they don't have much volume. When volume picks up I expect it to not be as bad

No I don't believe in what u are saying. The sites traffic does not change anything in card distribution. If u can't get enough volume then it's recommended to mix other sites.

Back in the early days of online polka I spoke directly on the phone with a site that audits online poker sites and people at the sites. Before the games got crazy you could actually get people to respond to you and things like that. I have had multiple people tell me that the random generator outcome depends on the volume of players playing at the time. This is not something I made up this was people at poker sites and people that audited poker sites

Hahahahahaha. Ok bro.

by Helllsreal m (https://www.twoplustwo.com/post?postId=59007952#post59007952)

Hahahahahaha. Ok bro.

Imagine in the early days of online poker "unregulated sites" having audits when no one was forcing them to do so lmfao!!!!!!

PokerStars got audited all the time in the early days. As far as the full tilt audit they probably got audited also for their random number generator. They never got audited for where they were putting their money that's something completely different

Do you think they care about you? As long as you keep playing they're not going to make any change that isn't good for them. If you can mess up and make mistakes and keep the game even and not be a winning player then they'll keep it exactly the same as it is. You understand online poker sites do not want winning players. So if by making a change your win rate is going to go up they most likely aren't going to make the change

Yeah you're thinking waaaayyyyy too heavily about that. Its simply an issue of priorities and right now getting a full tournament slate together is No. 1. Customizable card backs is on the roadmap.

yes, I do think they care that I get tired of looking at purple everything and close out their client after two hours vs playing eight hours a day at global.

They don't have enough volume for u to play 8 hours. What games are u playing on phenom and what games are u playing on global?

not that I have to explain anything to you but you're misunderstanding so here goes. I play two 4 hour sessions per day. when I do global is my main home but I have four lobbies open and I'm constantly looking at all the lobbies and swapping in and out tables. after a while I just close the purple lobby because I'm tired of looking at it and its tables. like I originally posted, it wouldn't be so bad if when I sat down at the purple tables I didn't have to actually do a full glance around the table every time the action is on me to see who still has cards because they blend in. on my other sites I don't have this problem. I may be in the minority but it's very much not an enjoyable experience visually to put in volume there which is why I said what I said. as for what I play? you a fed or something? want my tax returns while were at it?

I haven't had this problem for weeks. They changed the circle un-customized avatar to be a dark almost black color, the cards stand out fine in front of them:

() Is this not what you are seeing? Also you can change the color of the table too if you don't like the purple

nope. it's less bad when someone has their badge tier on but as you can see with S1 its horrible. I only play NLH and I nine table so the tables are quite small. I obv don't have all those extra cards pouring out over the avatar.

()

look, all this discussion around this issue is silly, imo. literally just asking to be able to change the card color so there's some contrast and its not so monochromatic like virtually all other poker software since forever. I'm def not a dev but I would imagine this sort of thing could be done it what? two hours tops? maybe I'm way off.

I was just replying because a few weeks back, the cards were the exact same color as the avatars. I made so many mistakes on Hold'em tables.

Very rare, another touchy poker player. Hardly ever see this in life. The reason I'm asking is because you couldn't play 8 hours on phenom poker most likely because there's not enough volume. So even if they fix the cards I'm saying you still probably aren't going to get 8 hours in there

Depending how many tables you want to play or which stakes and which games I guess if would be hard to play. But, I am pretty sure you could 4-table a mix of 0.25/0/50 NL/PLO/Big O/PLO5 and/or 1/2, 2/4 mixed games for 8 hours no problem. Phenom is slowly but surely getting more traffic and its noticeable to me.

Test freerolls have been running all week. There are a few bugs, but still fun to play and try them out. About 2 per day, varying times. This weekend, there is a 25k freeroll to celebrate tournaments launching, so I suspect they will have a schedule starting next week, as long as things go smoothly.

Can i have a suggestion? I think introduce Rake free for a period of time will boost the player pools, who doesnt enjoy rake free? everyone will sign up. Or at least rake free hours during the promo period. I am a fish but i will definitely join if you have rake free hours, at the moment, getting players pool is the key. There is no need free 100% or 150% deposit, just rake free then you get people i think

The site has undergone a rather significant increase in traffic Since November. Altho, not a terrible idea its unlikely there will be "rake free" ...I kinda like the idea tho, that, or a reduced rake Promo. I do know this, there is a "behind the scenes' thought of reducing rake across the board...and that's reducing rake that's already much less than pretty much every other Site!

I suggest to put tons of freerolls with prizes in tournament or cash game dollars. This will increase traffic and people who win something have to actually play on the site with the winnings.

Buy ins and Pay outs will be in USDT. SAme as cash games!

Buy ins and Pay outs will be in USDT. SAme as cash games!

I know.

I just started playing on this site. Some comments:

1. The filter for stakes doesn't work. I can click and unclick all the other buttons, but when I try to filter by stakes, the buttons simply won't unclick.
2. It appears to be that in order to auto top-off, you need to type in the amount of extra money you're bringing to the table ahead of time. Is there an easier way to do this? When you're already playing a couple of tables, it can be a pain to have to type this in.
3. Is there an easier way to sit out tables when you're done? It looks like you have to click on the three dots in the upper right of the table, then the icon with the little clock on it, then the sit out blinds option. Again, a bit of a pain.
4. When I click on my wallet, it says the "INTHEMONEY" bonus is activated, but when I go to bonuses in the rewards manager tab, it shows 0% progress, says I only have 9d left (it should be around 44), and also says no available bonuses. Overall, I'm liking the site despite these minor quibbles.

Really think this site would be better if geo fencing to USA only. What benefits do Europeans as a whole bring to poker sites these days? Just pros and alot of cheating and or bot rings. Not worth having these players on for maybe a minuscule bump in traffic imo.

so far it seems a lot of their traffic thus far has been mixed games, where bots, RTA, and collusion aren't really an issue (yet?)... I think as tourneys are introduced (where traffic should start to pick up more), their security teams will certainly need to be more on the ball. Not sure geo-fencing will really accomplish much at the moment (other than a small player pool)

Is this "maybe a minuscule bump in traffic" based on statistics?

by Vanhaomena m (https://www.twoplustwo.com/post?postId=59020458#post59020458)

Is this "maybe a minuscule bump in traffic" based on statistics?

Absolutely, especially in the higher PLO games. We have a respected pro (tolyawa) who has brought a lot of his players to the site. Apart from that, the price of PHNM is directly tied to revenue over the last 4 weeks. As PHNM rises, that's absolute proof of revenue rising.

Yes that's what I figured but how does this make any sense? Around 50 % of players will just be on sit out...

Hey all, just to clear this up. Registration has NOT been opened for the $25k freeroll on Sunday, July 6th. There will be an announcement in the coming days about when registration will open, but I can tell you the spots will NOT be auto-filled by the previous 2500. The current plan is that current players silver tier and above will get first chance, then a second period will allow for open registration. We listened to the players, who rightfully mentioned it was unfair for them to be excluded. Side note, the bonus code INTHEMONEY has been extended. This is a reload bonus, 100% up to 2000 USDT. If you're a new player, use https://play.phenompoker.com/register?r=... (https://play.phenompoker.com/register?r=uGtEdk) to get 150% up to 3000 USDT.

If you're so unhappy with the site you could go play somewhere else or stay there and make constructive criticism on the forum about what you'd like to be different. The 2 options would be profitable for both parts. Cheers.

I played on Phenom for a week, and I’m honestly surprised they launched it in such an unfinished state. There are countless bugs that make the platform feel unreliable and frustrating to use. At this point, it feels like you’re paying money to be a beta tester. The only upside is that you play with many Americans. Phenom in a nutshell looked like this for me.

There was an update to the polygon network yesterday. This is the crypto platform that Phenom runs on. Apparently, there has not been an update to it in 5 years... It will be a good thing for Phenom and any other platforms that use it. Unfortunately, it slowed some things down during the update, and transactions were slow or failed. It's true, I have had these issues you report, but for the most part, it's been pretty solid as of late, aside from this big Polygon upgrade. I have been playing nearly every day since launch and really enjoy the site. It's tech that none of the other big sites have, its your wallet, Phenom can't touch it. They only facilitate the smart contract between tables and tournaments for your money to flow to and from. If you run into these issues, the support team is really helpful too. Sorry you had a bad experience, but I assure anyone reading this it's really not all that bad.

Solid Rollout of Mtt's so far with basically zero traffic.

Cash games continue to grow, looks like tournament players waiting on guarantees.

Unfortunately I have to agree here I am not a Cashgame Player by any means and still I deposited some bucks to try Out the Site - I liked it, but again, Cash is Not my Game Then the 25k freeroll came, I won some Money, and was totally willing to play that on Phenom, expecting a proper MTT Schedule will come after the 25k freeroll. Playing some $2, $5 or whatever Lowstakes MTTs with it. But none of that happened unfortunately - why would I play any MTT there, when it's so tough to fit in my grid of other sites anyways (Browser, No real App, etc) especially with no guaranteed prizepools? Someone on last Page said "feels like Beta tester you have to pay for", unfortunately this is my thinking too. Since my freeroll win I have since maybe played 20 Hands of cashgame, and now took off every $ Off of the site. On a site like Coinpoker atleast I use the funds and not have it Just sitting because there are No games for me Still hope the best for the site, it has Potential, but to me the planning seems like a huge mess

Playing some $2, $5 or whatever Lowstakes MTTs w... See full post

The team is fixing some things before they release a full tournament schedule. The tournaments running right now are ya kind of testing, but they still run with a handful of players. I expect there will be plenty running daily with guarantees once they iron out a few things.

With how complicated the deposit methods are the site will never be a high traffic site anyways. No rec is going to through all the steps it takes. 0 chance. The site is ran by some really dumb people lol

Not to mention they have issues with the contacts getting stuck and supper having to manually push it through. Good luck explaining to recs why there balance is missing. I have been voicing my concern regarding this since launch and it falls on deaf ears. This single thing will be the death of the site.

I hate some things on this platform, but cashouts are really momentally. This is good!

Are the Cashings (IN-OUT) instant as on other cryptosites? Or is there some hours we need to wait when cashing out? (How about large amounts 5k$+)

Yep, in seconds your funds are in your wallet. I literally just moved 5k twice yesterday, no issues at all.

Yes, I really want to like Phenom, they offer the games I enjoy playing but god damn, offering a product this unfinished/fundamentally flawed is quite... something. PHNM price is held up by a few Phenom pros / prop players playing highstakes but once that fades, and the hype with it, I foresee another Run it Once on the horizon. You just can't offer this and expect to last. Maybe I'll be proven wrong.

Your criticism of any transactional issues is fair, but it's not nearly as frequent as it seems. I wish the team would publish some kind of stat to show how rare it actually is, and how it's been improving since Day 1. As for the PHNM price being held up, sure, a single big game is going to drive revenues more than a single small game, but anyone who's been watching can see games are growing at all stakes.

I am sorry, but Day 1 has been many many moons ago and the acceptable number of transactional issue is ZERO on that day! Just a few days ago, Polygon had issues. I recorded my balance at the end of the day as I usually do and the next day, it was almost $800 less. No message, no explanation, nothing. I had to go through the transaction list myself to figure out what happened. A day later, I rebuy at the table, lose my stack before it is processed, leave the table and the rebuy is not refunded. This does not show up in transactions and it was NOT going to be resolved by the contract, it did not turn up for multiple hours until support finally refunded it manually. No one can be sure their balance is correct at any time. That's critical failure, not subject to "improvement". If it was licensed, this would be reason for shutdown. The last time I saw this happen was during the Full Tilt Poker days. I can't allow PR answers to muddy this point down.

Strange that you wouldn't notice your account was $800 heavy before it was credited back, but FWIW I agree that any correction should come with a message of some sort. As for your frustrations Mr. Rage, we've been listening as long as you've been talking, all the way back to Day 1ish. You have valid points but you seem to ignore the fact that this is revolutionary, new territory that comes with bumps in the road. It is objectively improving week over week and while we'd all like it to be perfect, its not yet. That's not a reason to not be live for us but if its a deal breaker for you, we get it. The support here is better than any poker site you've ever seen. Are there issues? Yes. Should you have to monitor your balance? No, but it is what it is right now. Most of us keep an eye and if there's an issue we reach out to support and get help within a remarkably short time.

Incidentally, I didn't notice because I rage quit that day because **** didn't work and went to the casino instead which you have to admit is kinda funny in context. Revolutionary in what way? USDT? Coin does it, better. Mixed games? King's Clubs had it. PHNM? I guess, but it's a just form of rakeback after all that heavily skews towards launch player that hodl, for normal and new players reaching the same percent as GG or Coin is virtually impossible. Support? GG/Nat8 is better, so was PokerStars back in the day. Also, ideally you don't want support to have to be good. I think that's basically the problem, trying to create hype only works when it really is revolutionary. Otherwise you will get threads like this where yes, people want you to succeed - I do, love mixed games -, but the shiny paint starts chipping off the walls. Poly USDT contracts were a mistake, are a mistake, will be a mistake. If the team started admitting that, not least to themselves, I would be more optimistic about the future.

"Also, ideally you don't want support to have to be good." This made me chuckle. Reminds me of the movie Tommy Boy, "why would somebody put a guarantee on a box?" Anyways, as for the contracts, I'll readily admit I'm a noob in that area. I know we can't use regular currency if we want to operate in and around the US. I personally have been playing since Day 1 and love the fact I can pull my funds at any time, for any reason, and have it in my personal wallet in minutes, sell it, and have it in cash in my bank account in a day or so. Is it perfect? No, but it's much easier than folks think. You made good points about hype, as you continue to, but I'll tell you why I think the site warrants it.

1. Mixed games are vastly underrepresented in the online poker ecosystem. You mentioned Kings Club, which is fine if you want to play a 60/120 here and there, but that's basically it. They're not putting any resources into that site and haven't in years.
2. The value of compounded rakeback. You talked about how it skews towards established players that hold. Let's look at an example of a player who started May 12th, less than two months ago. If they earned $50 in rakeback that week (at 0.93 PHNM, that's 53.76 tokens), PHNM is now at 1.93, making those tokens worth $103.75. That's more than a 100% increase.
3. There's no site where you can play all of the different games, and tournaments, and soon Private Rooms and Chinese Poker. We're centralizing what everyone is asking for in the poker world. For what it's worth, I appreciate your candor and your passion around this. It's clear you've been around and having your opinion (even if it's contrarian at times) is valuable to me. Let's keep chatting and figure out ways to make things better. We're both owners and can put things to a vote if we land on something specific!

1. I agree, Kings died and rightfully so, invite-only agent model is nut-worst, crypto is better, if it works.
2. I understand how it works, but let's be honest, the random rec goes broke within the week and then uses the RB each week to get back into action, if it is enough. Meanwhile the winners and rich get richer. Good for us, I'm holding a few hundred right now myself, but it ain't great for the eco system and is a reason why Stars' model died and GG created PVI.
3. SWC used to be that but admittedly they squandered their lead very impressively. I understand that I may come off as overly critical, but I have made a living off online poker for the last 20 years. I have seen it all, seen PartyPoker falter with UIGEA, got 5 digits stuck on FTP, saw the fall of Stars to Amaya, witnessed the hourly $25ks on GG, been playing with crypto for longer than most, saw the rise of the apps and clubs. I've been burned too many times before and I am now too seasoned to be captivated by hype. But while I myself am towards the tail end of my poker career, I do genuinely wish for it to be a path to freedom for future generations. It could be Phenom. But my opinion remains that odds are stacked against it as long as they hold onto faulty contracts for operations. It's just not friction less and user friendly enough.

true @PhenomMike an idea...why not merge Phenom Poker with SWC Poker? both only crypto, both offer all variants of poker, both struggle with traffic Unfortunately, we live in an era where online poker is restricted in many countries around the world, making it much less popular and accessible than it was in our twenties in the 2000s. Does it make sense to open a new poker room with little traffic today? Isn't it better to join forces with other similar rooms? just my 2 cents

I agree on the recs. One of the first things I brought up is how the model is slanted towards high-limit players (and ultimately, the winners). Rich get richer, as you noted. I argued that the bottom and middle stakes players will have next to zero power if and when votes are brought up, since the vast majority of tokens will belong to nosebleed stake players, employees and ambassadors. Their priorities DO NOT match the average player. I also argued that the system should do a better job catering to losing players, but was told that's "predatory." The fact is, the site is run by current and former high-limit poker players, who view things through that lens. These are the folks who had Supernova status at Stars, and while that's amazing, it's not representative of the folks that are needed to create a monster poker site. Again, my own opinion, not shared by the powers that be.

WHAT DO WE WANT? LESS RAKE! WHEN DO WE WANT IT? NOW! You asked, you got it. We've reduced rake across the board, check out all the details here: https://www.phenompoker.com/blog/big-news-cash-games-rake-just-got-reduced phenompoker Big News: Cash Games Rake Just Got Reduced - Phenom Poker (https://www.phenompoker.com/blog/big-news-cash-games-rake-just-got-reduced)

Ya but these nose bleed games are bringing in more players. I have noticed a lot more new faces. We also hit that guarantee yesterday. The more players, the more evenly the tokens will be distributed. Hopefully, collectively, the mass number of players will hold a larger majority of the vote

Never build expectations on high stakes games. They never last. This is a nice bump but it's almost certain it's temporary. In general, with the new rake deduction, things ARE moving in the right direction tho.

() If you're on the fence, get off the damn fence and get in the game. Site revenue continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Admittedly, NLH is lagging behind, but if you're interested in mixed games and the PLO variants (PLO5, PLO6, PLO/8), from micro to nosebleed stakes, you need to check out Phenom. "How does it work?" When you earn rakeback, you get paid in PHNM tokens. You can exchange these tokens at any time for USDT and take your rakeback immediately, OR you can hold them as the price of PHNM rises and watch your investment grow. Here's an example: Let's say you joined the site April 1st, when the PHNM price was 0.89. In that week, let's assume you earned a modest 50 in rakeback. 50 USDT rakeback at 0.89 = 55.5 tokens As the PHNM price rises, the value of your tokens rise. Today, the value of PHNM is 2.51. Those tokens would now be worth 139.30. That's 178.6% rakeback! In 2025, the year of our Lord, you won't find another place to get anywhere near that rakeback. "Looks like I already missed the boat." The site hasn't even started to pay to market the tournament schedule. Multiple games are being introduced soon, including bomb pots, double board, Chinese Poker and more. No propaganda here -- the site's numbers are increasing across the board. Does the $2k/4k game create a lot of revenue? Of course, but every other limit is growing, the player pool is growing and the team has a litany of levers they've yet to pull. Join the revolution, now! Get 100% up to 2000 USDT by signing up here: https://play.phenompoker.com/register?r=... (https://play.phenompoker.com/register?r=uGtEdk)

This is not propaganda. You think you will get 100% cashback, playing, fighting and get nothing. Its lagging. So we didnt stolen your money. Its lagging. So its not our problem. It will be better. Maybe.. Its Phenom!

There’s just no traffic on here for games majority of ppl play (100,200nl and 100,200plo) I understand the mixed games is catering to specific crowd but it’s just way too niche to ever get this site off the ground. Gotta cater to the masses first with low and mid stakes NL and PLO if you want this site to gain any market share.

the average person who's willing to transact with this type of interface tends to be higher buyin, niche game player. if you want to play small/mid stakes NL/PLO there are so many better options with less friction. is what it is imo.

And while those players are strapped for options, even their patience may just run out eventually. In my opinion, there is too much effort put into MTTs and new features and not enough into making the existing experience somewhat enjoyable. Maybe I'm in the minority here but I couldn't give a **** about bomb pots as long as filters, timebanks and sitouts aren't fixed.

Unfortunately, I have to issue a very stark warning with regards to this site now: Mere chat violations can cause you to lose access to your funds, indefinitely.

( reference, all I said that "this ****" will break games by continously max tanking and then having an argument with the chat mod. I have been playing online poker for 20 years, never heard of a site that will restrict your account and WALLET access over chat issues. Temporary chat bans, yes. This however is so far beyond the scale of being reasonable that I have severe doubts the team is able to run the site in a professional fashion. The subsequent e-mail chain has confirmed that doubt, Douglas seems unable to follow a train of thought. Caution while playing here.

Where did they say that you would lose your funds?

by burberryworld m (https://www.twoplustwo.com/post?postId=59071446#post59071446)

Where did they say that you would lose your funds?

That's not what I'm saying, but you lose access to it (as you cannot log in). Again, That's so highly unusual that I suspect this chat mod (new hire) is power tripping and didnt know/discuss with more senior and knowledgeable members of the team. Very worrying for a new player on the scene regardless.

They have said countless times that it is your wallet and they can't access it. I get the main way to access your wallet is through the site... but I don't think they can restrict access to it. It's through privy.io. The site just facilitates the process of setting up smart contracts from your wallet to the table so you can play. There must be a way to access your wallet through privy.io if you are restricted from accessing it.

Yes, I read your inquiry in their discord. While technically correct, even their main guy doesn't know how you would gain access to your wallet through them. Additionally, that means you are now trusting another third party that is barely disclosed. I'll just leave an old jmo thread on this:

Best advice is don't chat I guess.

Yeah, I remember reading these tweets... and they are from a year ago, almost to the day. Interesting to read them again now that Phenom has been up since October 2024. It does make me wonder if my USDT could be frozen. He also says he that he advises against anyone playing high stakes... there has been nose bleed games running regularly on the site. I have not seen ****ycakes say anything about Phenom in recent days. Also, if anyone is concerned about their USDT in their Phenom Wallet, since it's on polygon and gas is pennies, you can transfer your funds to a personal wallet after your sessions.

I really don't know what else you guys would want from the site. They're already dealing cards in a way to keep the game as even as possible. I have never played a site in 20 years where you see so many coolers. I don't care if it's heads up three people at a table four people it doesn't make a difference you play 200 hands here and you see 10 coolers in 200 hand sample every time. And you guys are complaining they don't have filters they don't. Be happy that they're dealing cards like this so the game will be as even as possible for you guys because there's no chance any losing players could ever win unless a site does something like this. I mean you guys are so picky about things that shouldn't even matter when the real scenario is they're dealing cards in a way to help you lose slower. Which they have to do as a new site because if they don't the winners would crush and there's not enough people on the site to keep the volume going. I mean the software is great in my opinion but the random number generator to me is sketchy as hell

mumbo jumbo

Careful, you can get banned for 24 hours if you say his twitter handle! And yes, that's what I am doing now, withdraw after every table. The fact that high stakes have been running doesn't imply safety of any sorts, those people are extraordinarily careless about game- and site safety on occasion if the spot feels worth it. jmo is very OG when it comes to this stuff and while he is at times disagreeable in nature, I trust him when it comes to this stuff - and I agree with the competency part.

Is there anything to be done about the pond scum who run down their shot clock with every decision that they make? It is really frustrating, especially in cash games. Especially in cash games where all the games in the mix are limit games.

Need an honest review of Phenom Poker for someone who is primarily a tourney player and needs a new home. Also a link to the deposit process instructions and the benefits of this token ecosystem, whatever it is. I am familiar with crypto but don't want to make a mistake and lose some $$$ into the ether, the likelihood of which sounds like 99% to most people since from a cursory look.

I think that it would be extremely useful to Phenom Poker's user base -- and its potential user base, to provide a tutorial on how to obtain USDT on the Polygon network and move it into one's wallet on the site, and to do the same to take winnings off the site into one's offsite wallet. Suppose I have (say) a conventional bank account, a Coinbase account, a Trezor hard wallet, and a Phenom Poker account. What do I have to do to move fiat money in my bank account into USDT in my Phenom Poker wallet? How can I reverse the process with my winnings?

FWIW you don't have to deposit poly USDT, there are just small fees with other stuff. If you aren't looking to put huge sums on there and no nothing about crytpo easiest way is buy some eth/btc on paypal and just withdrawl to your phenom wallet. takes like 2 minutes but you'll pay maybee $20-40 on 1k. They also have p2p transfers so can just find someone that has money on there also

If you are primarily a tourney player, I would recommend to wait a bit longer. They are still ironing a few more things out before doing a full schedule. They want the experience to be way better before they start promoting it hard. However, if you are willing to put up with a few bugs here and there and are willing to play mixed game tournaments, it's definitely worth trying.

Hold is better if the site is growing. The site is growing.

I just got rakeback today, in the form of the tokens. When does the actual revenue sharing hit your account each week from holding tokens?

If you refrain from redeeming your tokens, you will receive rev shares from the prior week based on the amount that you held. You receive it on Mondays around the same time the token price changes. You will see a "Revenue Share" transaction in your transactions list.

if you're asking this question you likely don't have enough phnm. current rev share (for me, at least) is roughly ~$0.32 for every ~100 phnm. if you weren't one of the early access beta testers who were airdropped, a site pro who very likely receives coins/boosted RB, or one of the high volume mix/plo grinders, you're going to struggle to get anything meaningful from it until holders sell off and you can accumulate at a better rate. just my opinion.

Does anyone know what kind of action there is in stud games, specifically razz? And what times do games typically run?

$20/$40 ($5 ante) is running three handed right now. Edit: with a 4th player joining right now

Is PhenonMike still around? The mobile website is a bit buggy and as I was trying to leave a table, I had to click "leave table" multiple times for it to register. Well, it registered but it was delayed on my end, and I clicked again thinking it still had me at the table. Instead, it bought me in for the maximum of $25 but my seat was taken by a new player and the $25 was deducted from my balance. I thought maybe it would restore the $25 back into my balance if I closed out the website and reopened it, but it did not. It appears to think I bought in for $25, but I did not intend to do so, and had no access to those chips. I dud email support but if you're around Mike, can you take a look at this or redirect it to someone who can? I have transaction IDs and can DM you whatever you need. Thank you! Edit: Actually, someone already responded to my email and fixed it! Super fast response. I'm impressed.

See full post

to clarify, Beta testers were not "airdropped" any PHNM. Ambassadors were given PHNM as part of the Ambassador deal. your .30 per 100 PHNM is spot on!! Selling of PHNM isn't going to affect the PHNM price at all. The only thing that would affect PHNM price is the 4 week Revenue avg.

Didn't you get 100 PHNM for something early on? I don't remember what it was, just that it was basically free. But yeah, I suspect the distribution of PHNM is like 95%+ phenom team, ambassadors and some agents. It's not a great system.

yes, 8game, your memory is correct. I was given 100 phnm just for signing up with a referral code during the public beta.

This is partially true, you had to use a signup code and rake 100 on the site to get 100 phnm. It wasn't just given to you

That's fine (if not cheap) for getting funds onto Phenom. To take the off, it has to be USDT on the Polygon network.

Has anything changed on Phenom over the last 12 weeks? When I played there it was basically an alpha version poker room with a shitton of bugs. I rage quit after I could not rebuy when whale stacked me :( I pressed rebuy like maybe 5-8 times which drained all my funds and I had to write to support to get my money, still not sure I got everything back.

I can't remember the last time I've had a problem where I got funds stuck in a table contract. It's interesting that you say they launched in a bad state. Sure, there were issues, but I have seen tons of issues with other sites that launched recently. You can iron out only so many bugs during beta testing. The site has been running really smooth for me. They just released their daily tournament schedule with a bunch of guarantees. With lots of overlays. Also, for their 1 year anniversary there are freerolls all week, but you have to be at least silver tier (raked at least $100)

I want to self exclude. I could not reach support. Please ban myself because of gambling problems for life. Nickname jediz

brutal! a few minor red flags in that email but overall pretty convincing. also, agree about your details. sorry to hear, bud, fingers crossed for you.

They seem to be absolutely zero interested in any decent traffic. Last time the rep was here was ages ago, not even a comment to that scam mail that was posted above. That whole mixed game concept is lame. Those are niche games that will only attract very few players imo. Sit and goes are online with like 0 players. They are like completely dead whenever i check. If u want to attract people in this day and age release spins, offer turbo and hyper turbo formats, and offer some freerolls where its easy to win a small buck here and there. Those mixed and whatever other games freerolls with only a very low number of places paid are unattractive to play and build a roll imo. Not one single NLH freeroll among them.

There was a bunch of responses on twitter. Nobody cares about 2+2 anymore it's just a void in space

They definitely did not respond to my issue on Twitter. Here is an update on the situation that I have posted on twitter: https://x.com/camdenhu/status/2009792792... (https://x.com/camdenhu/status/2009792792155881504) Tldr: Phenom does not admit any responsibility and refused to refund me for the lost balance. Another user who was scammed in the same way had his balance withdrawn again after redepositing, even though he did not click on any links and had turned on 2FA at that point.

I played on Phenom before too, but the software is extremely frustrating. Basic things are missing or broken (like proper sound effect settings, auto-reload not working) and they still haven’t been fixed, even though they were reported many months ago. Phenom has potential long-term, but ignoring core usability is pushing players away. Instead of fixing fundamental gameplay issues, the focus seems to be on low-priority features.

Hello! We have responded to this player via our support channels. If you click a phishing link without your 2FA turned on, you will likely lose your funds, unfortunately and there's nothing we can do about that. We have found no evidence that the scammers had inside information. If this is the case, we assume they would have only targeted the largest wallets, and this didn't appear to be the case. Allowing staff to play keeps the team closely connected to real gameplay, which helps us identify issues, test features in live conditions, and improve the platform based on actual player experience.

How to find tourneys?

Unfortunately, they have gotten tourneys back up and running yet. Apparently, they are going to have an announcement about it soon and a brand new schedule.

These new filters are worse.

I really want to like Phenom as I'm a big fan of Mix games - however, about 95% of the time I can't even join a table to play, constantly met with a "failure to join table" pop up. Or the other day I actually got a seat but then there was an error adding chips so I still couldn't play, so tilting. Do Phenom even have any engineers working on their site? I'm guessing if Isildur has a problem they're bending over backwards and fixing it super-quick... this is the trouble when poker players run a business, they have no clue or don't even give a shit about the absolute basics, see Full Tilt etc

I'll give this site max 2 more years before they close down. Nothing has been done to attract players and that whole mix game concept wont do it as those games are niche (what a suprise really). Runitoncepoker 2.0

Our full tournament schedule is up. Check out our new weekly specials, running every Monday, Wednesday and Sunday!

Hello there, as a very frequent sender of USDT via Ethereum, I had never used the polygon network to send USDt before using your platform. Therefor it was an inevitable mistake for me to send to my polygon address on the ethereum network… Your Support staff directed me to the recovery portal where I am able to see the correct balance of the USDt, but I am continuously met with the same errr message when trying to complete the transfer… It has been almost 2 weeks now i have been waiting for the developers to address this issue and I was LITERALLY just told by your support staff that issues like mine “have to take a backseat”. NO WONDER why your player volume is so sad. A little bit of customer appreciation goes A LONG WAY! Telling a member of any organization that they have to “take a back seat to more important matters” is bound for failure and any knowledgeable CEO/business owner understands this very simple concept… CUSTOMER SERVICE SHOULD BE THE NUMBER 1 PRIORITY! Are you KIDDING ME? Everything else should ALWAYS take a backseat to providing the best possible customer service! I would have been very proactive in pushing my referrals to bring in as many players as i could, but now I am determined to close my account and spread the word to STAY AWAY from your platform the moment your developers finally GET AROUND to resolving my issue and getting me back my money… What an incredible disappointment to something that seemed so promising

Backseat totally understandable if u consider their huge playerbase lmfao. They probably super busy solving issue after issue minute by minute.

A lot of players never cash out , I assume. Regardless, putting it upfront maybe well intentioned, but it is another obstacle to getting new players/ money on the site and one of the reasons the site is doomed. You also need not worry about shenanigans if no one is playing.

Last time I tried to play there they asked for kyc upfront btw. Wasnt accepted first time so I didnt bother to try again. I get the point with kyc but colluders botters and other criminals have acess to fake kyc data anyway.

Will you once shut up and deal with your own business? Let it be Coin, or Phenom, or any other site. Spend your time at the table, on the solver, walk your dog or go get a big mac but no one needs you here with your useless accusation. I'm sure you don't have 2k on all sites combined and you see yourself as the police force of online poker. They offer a service, it is satisfying and works quite ok, the traffic is low, that's it. People like you are not needed or wanted.

When players sign up at Phenom, they use their names and email addresses, which we keep for obvious reasons. We don't store KYC documents or other additional data as this is handled by our authentication provider. If a player is caught cheating, we may or may not reveal who they are.

This is why I assumed they have never ever linked to any such blacklist or ever officially done it. They just like to brag about it as if its some heroic thing they are doing. Where I am from, it would fall under the legal definition of slander, because over here, it doesnt matter if its true or not. What matters is if the purpouse is to spread dishonoring information to the wider public. Also the answer: "We may or may not" is just ****ing stupid because it is just a manipulative way to not have to back down from their previous claim while still also maintaining legal protection from anyone pointing out that its illegal. Furthermore, I have never gotten a response when contacting their support of suspicious players. Ever. Not even to tell me that they didnt find any wrongdoing in their investigation. Needless to say, phenom is one of those places that loves to brag about stupid ****.

So, how long is it usual to have to wait for support to respond? I sent an email yesterday at 9 PM and its now the next day at 8 in the morning. There is like what, 200 people online tops? Seeing as I have emailed support before with questions and have never, ever gotten a response, I'm starting to suspect that support is non-existing. My ticket is regarding the resolution of a PLO H/L hand that I believe was not resolved correctly. Honestly, I find it disturbing that such a case is not handled with top priority.

We don't currently have anything open in our support channel. It's possible you're sending from an email domain that's blacklisted for some reason. Are you in our Discord by chance?

You can also just DM me the hand ID here if you'd like, and I'll be happy to take a look at it for you.

any recent increase of players on the site? really love it, can't wait for its population to grow

Thanks for the offer. I did figure it out eventually and the hand was done correctly. I just have a problem with the fact that support simply doesnt respond to cases. Out of 5 questions I have emailed to support, one has been answered and that was almost instantly. That indicates to me that support chooses to ignore certain emails and doesnt sit right with me. I have also realised that the small playerbase is very toxic at this site. I have seen several times how groups of people who know eachother target other players in the chat and gang up on them. I have also been on the recieving end of it. They start **** and no matter if you are neutral in your answer, people will join the chat and start insulting you. They know eachother and call eachother by first name and so, I can only assume these are regs who hang out there often. It just doesnt sit right with me that its a cultural standard in a poker room so as of lately I have started to look for another alternative for me. Clearly, the reg base doesnt want new players there anyway. PS: The fact that you couldnt find anything in support on my earlier dates and the email I got answered instantly was today, it is quite troublesome. Because I have emailed every question to the same address and from the same address (the one i am registered with)

We don't ever ignore emails from players, which is why I suggested there may be some other obstacle we need to figure out with your case specifically. This hasn't been an issue in the past. If this ever happens again, feel free to contact us on Telegram, Twitter, Discord, or any of the other platforms where we interact with the players live daily. We are always happy to help.

So to help you figure this out, here is the dates of the 4 different emails that I have sent.

() The last one I got a reply too, the first three has gone without a response. Now, I honestly dont really care for a response at this point, seeing as I have moved my bankroll away from Phenom due to a multitude of reasons leading to me deciding its not the poker room for me but at the same time I am happy to help you find a solution to this so that other players dont get the same experience.

Requesting better game selection filters for Omaha. If I try to filter right now, omaha is under mixed games for some reason? So I can't actually filter anything out and when I go back to the omaha tab all the omaha games including 6c and double board bomb pots are showing. The organization on this site makes it difficult for me to find the games I actually want to sit down at. Also, it gives off the vibe that it was built with AI (tons of frilly and slightly buggy features), which doesn't bother me personally, I'm just hoping the design can continue to get honed down to be more processable and intuitive for a human. Looking forward to the tournament GTDs coming up!

Why is Phenom Poker not gaining more traction? With all the cheats going on lately (Superuser on the bigger sites, QQPK closing 100s of bot accounts, etc.), I feel a site like Phenom and the KYC required to join their site and visible IP address easily makes this site more comfortable and trusted to play on than what’s out there, especially for US players.

Businesses take time to get off the ground.. how long has phenom been around for? I only recently found it whilst looking for sites with HU as coin poker seems to have gone massively downhill

Phenom has a lot of potential and I really do hope it takes off. I’d really like to see some more NLHE traffic and bigger guarantee MTTs.🤞
