Phenom Poker rakeback and the Rank Tiers program

How much rakeback does Phenom Poker pay?

Rakeback means getting a slice of the rake you paid returned to your balance. Phenom Poker rakeback depends on your place in Rank Tiers, its loyalty program, which has five levels named Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Phenom.

• Bronze pays 10% and applies to every account by default.
• Silver pays 15% once you collect 100 points within a rolling month.
• Gold pays 20% and is measured over a longer window than Silver.
• Platinum pays 25% and uses a longer window again.
• Phenom pays 30% after 120,000 points within a rolling year.

Each level stays on your account for the same length of time as the window used to earn it. A player who reaches Silver keeps that rate for a month, and a player who reaches Phenom keeps the top rate for a year, so a single heavy stretch of play carries forward even if volume drops afterward.

When and in what currency Phenom Poker pays rakeback

Phenom Poker credits rakeback weekly, and the payment arrives in CHIP. Phenom Poker moved its cash games, tournaments and wallet from USDT to CHIP, a token worth one US dollar, so the rakeback lands in the same balance you play from. There is no conversion step between what you earn back and what you can put on the table.

You fund the account with USDT and USDC, and each deposit is credited as CHIP at one to one with the dollar, with no deposit fee on the supported networks. Withdrawals carry a small flat fee.

Phenom Poker rakeback example

Say you pay $400 in rake in a month and sit at Bronze. At 10%, Phenom Poker returns $40 that month, which adds up to $480 over twelve months at the same pace.

The same $400 at Silver pays $60 a month, or $720 a year. The move from Bronze to Silver needs 100 points inside a month, the lowest bar on the ladder.

A high-volume player paying $2,500 in rake a month who holds the Phenom level gets $750 back each month and $9,000 across a year. Test your own volume and level in the rakeback calculator.

How $PHNM staking changes your Phenom Poker level

Phenom Poker has its own token, $PHNM, and staking it affects rakeback in two ways. Tier Warping moves you straight to a higher Rank Tiers level once your stake passes set bands, so you skip the points requirement for that level. Boosted Rakeback raises your rakeback further as the stake grows, so a larger stake earns more back.

Phenom Poker has published no percentage for Boosted Rakeback above the 30% Phenom level, so the table rates on this page are the figures you can plan around. The staking method also matters for timing. An Escalator stake counts toward your level after a week, while a Hard Lock stake counts at once.

Rake and caps at Phenom Poker cash tables

Phenom Poker uses one rake schedule for No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha. The percentage taken from each pot drops as the blinds rise, and every level has a cap per pot in dollars. The table lists the caps for tables with four or more players; pots at two-handed and three-handed tables carry lower caps.

Rakeback is calculated on the rake you pay, so the caps set an upper bound on what any single pot can contribute toward your weekly payment. At small stakes, most pots never reach the cap, and the percentage does the work. At larger stakes, the cap stops the rake from growing with the pot.

Phenom Poker license, software and availability

Phenom Poker S.A. operates the room under a license from Anjouan. Phenom Poker is a standalone room with its own player pool and does not share tables with a network.

You can play on desktop, in a browser and on mobile. The mobile version is a progressive web app that you add to your home screen from Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android, since Phenom Poker has no native app in the stores.

Phenom Poker is not available in the United Kingdom, Australia or the European countries listed in the table below, none of which licenses it locally.

Which players get the most from Phenom Poker rakeback

The Rank Tiers ladder rewards steady volume. Bronze and Silver are within reach of a part-time player, while Gold, Platinum and Phenom pay off for someone who plays most days and keeps that pace for months at a time. Because each level lasts as long as the window that earned it, a regular schedule matters more than a single big session.

Players who keep their bankroll in dollar stablecoins can top up without a conversion step and receive rakeback in CHIP at the same dollar value. Players who prefer fiat deposits, or who want a room with a larger shared player pool, can compare Phenom Poker with GGPoker or with crypto options such as Stake Poker on the crypto rakeback rooms page. The rakeback guide explains how flat and tiered deals differ.
