Notifications - October 4th

⭐ Highlights

Notifications — Choose which alerts you get and where they arrive, and keep all your favourite tables and tournaments in one list.

Create a Game — Repeat a game in a mix with its own settings, and cap any no-limit or pot-limit game.

Faster showdowns — Split pots and side pots now play out about twice as fast.

🔔 Notifications

  • A new Notifications tab in Settings lets you choose which alerts you get and where they arrive: email, push or Telegram

  • Telegram & Discord — link your account in a couple of taps and get alerts as messages from the Phenom bot

  • Push notifications work in your browser, the installed mobile app and the desktop client. Tap one to go straight to the table or tournament

  • Favorite tournaments — star any tournament from its preview, on desktop or mobile. Each start time of a daily or weekly event can be starred on its own

  • Favorites list — tap Favorites in the Notifications tab to see every table and tournament you've starred, with each tournament's next start time. Remove any of them in one tap

  • Favorite tables — get an alert when a table you've starred gets its first player or starts dealing

  • Your turn to act — a push alert when it's your turn at a cash table and you're looking elsewhere. It goes only to the device you're playing on, so your other devices don't buzz

  • Your table needs you — a reminder when you're sitting out and your return would let play start

  • Tournament alerts — a heads-up 15 minutes before a tournament you've starred or registered for starts, and before late registration closes on a starred tournament with an overlay

  • Pause alerts for 1, 4 or 8 hours or until tomorrow, with a countdown showing when they turn back on, or set daily Quiet Hours

  • On the installed mobile app, a one-tap prompt helps you switch push notifications on

🃏 Create a Game: Repeated Games and Caps

  • Repeated games can now be set up separately each time they appear in a mix, with their own stakes, ante, bring-in and cap

  • "Add again" copies a game with all of its settings, and changing the copy leaves the original as it was

  • Any no-limit or pot-limit game can now be capped from 20 to 100 BB with one Cap switch. You no longer need to pick a separate "Capped" version

  • Capped games show their cap wherever the game is named, for example "PLO · Cap 60 BB", and the lobby's Capped filter finds them

✨ Improvements

  • Showdowns now play about twice as fast, so split pots and side pots no longer hold up the next hand

  • Hands won without a showdown no longer light up the winner's cards or show a hand badge

  • Free tournaments now show FREE in the tournament flyout instead of 0.00

  • PSOP leaderboard now counts 25 and 50 CHIP events at x0.75 points, and buy-ins from 2,500 to 4,999 count at x1.75, as the published rules say

  • OFC and Taiwanese tables now use the same rule as other cash tables when you're alone at the table: you're sat out after 5 minutes disconnected, and after 6 hours connected you're asked "Still at this table?"

  • Chip and card animations at the table now run smoothly on mobile

🛠️ Fixes & Bugs

  • Fixed T$ registrations sometimes using a tournament ticket instead of T$, including after entering a password or choosing "Register anyway"

  • "Register anyway" on a password-protected tournament now asks for the password instead of failing

  • Fixed new tournament tables not starting in hand-for-hand mode when hand-for-hand was already on

  • Fixed the PSOP Series carousel not loading tournaments after the first page

  • Fixed the tournament chat card staying on its overlay after late registration. It now shows players, leader and prize

  • Fixed draw games letting you select cards to discard after the final draw

  • Folded cards you reveal during a showdown now show at full brightness instead of staying grey

  • Fixed the mobile table switcher appearing when you're seated at only one table
