Are there premium only arenas?

I feel so inadequate playing in normal arenas where most 1200 players joined yesterday play like grand masters with very quick reactions. Is it possible to play in premium only arenas where I can play with people my own level without god-mode on?

Yes, there are premium only arenas. You can find them in the tournaments just like the other arenas or go to play > tournament > schedule to see the ones you are interested in joining and the time it will be starting.

I cannot find even a single one. They are all open to everyone and not only premium members.

Arenas with the Diamond symbol are premium only arenas. As at when you made this thread there was a 3/2 blitz premium only arena about to start, it has ended now.

I don't think your account is bugged. If you are using the website, go to https://www.chess.com/play/online Click tournament and you will see list of current tournaments. You will also see the 5|5 premium only tournament. It has started now. On phone, click play, tournament and you will see the 5|5 tournament.

Oh I see the problem. In the app there’s no diamond. Only on the website it’s visible.
