... just wanted to throw SwC out there because ... 1. supports bitcoin, 2. doesn't do KYC, and 3. doesn't ban any jurisdictions, that sounds pretty great! ...

I fully agree and have another poker room which matches all the criteria mentioned above, this is: https://blockchain.poker/

It is very easy to set up a private tournament there, is fully anonymous and supports cryptocurrencies.

I have played there already multiple times and never had any problems with withdrawals or the gameplay itself.

Literally, in a few clicks, I was able to set up a private tournament there.

https://blockchain.poker/

There is a fee of 10$ for a private tournament on this website, but really even a child would be able to set up one there.

Here the summary page with created by me tournament, of course, one can adjust any settings, how many chips, minutes, people, etc.

If this will be possible to set up this tournament somewhere else (not on Sportsbet), where I will be eligible to play, then you can count me in too, of course.

I stand with Ukraine.

I've noticed some strange activity going on poker free rolls. Normally, with 9 levels of late registration, it takes more than an hour until the registration is closed. But sometimes, and I'll show an example below, it takes only 10-20 minutes for the registration to stop. The reason for that is that it stops when only 8 players remain, and I think some people have been abusing this pattern. 10 or more co-conspirators(or just alts of the same person) lose quickly all-ins to each other, so that:
1. One of them had a lot of chips;
2. Late reg. stopped, and thus a prize or two(or even all of them) was guaranteed to take.

Look at the yesterday's free roll, late reg. for which was closed in less than 12 minutes:

I'm not saying all of the above users are cheaters. No. Most likely, there are some legit players among them. But I think something looks fishy here, and it needs investigation.

Of course SwC Poker and even Acewins can be alternatives - I had already talked with Acewins about a tournament. I would like to give it another try @Sportsbet though and this is not because of any affiliation or so but simply because these guys rock and are doing a lot for our community here on bitcointalk.

yeah, i'm cool with that.

i just wanted to throw SwC out there because johhnyUA raised a good point about KYC. if there is an option that 1. supports bitcoin, 2. doesn't do KYC, and 3. doesn't ban any jurisdictions, that sounds pretty great!

i reached out to them and they are happy to set up a private tourney for us if/when the time comes.

I would love to play with you guys, but I am afraid that playing on Sportsbet can be impossible for many members from my country because when I try to log in, I see this each time.

i feel your pain, same here. we can play through VPN, but there is always a slight worry due to the selective KYC measures.

As you can see, I am not allowed from my location Undecided

, of course, I was able to create an account using VPN and was able to play there because I was always using free money from their ongoing giveaways here on the forum and additionally never won anything on their site, only lost all these freebies (never withdrew), but if I will have to do KYC to be able to play poker there with no fear, then it can be simply impossible.

Not that I don't want to do KYC if I would have to, only that it would be impossible from my location to pass it, as I can't even log in or sign up without VPN Embarrassed

I am in, both dates are fine for me. I didn't find anything about will there be a late registration or not? Maybe I will be late a bit, who knows, I have kids, they can be a problem sometimes

My username is same here and there. I will need to add some more money, I deposited some money and I lost all on slots, I didn't know they have so big collection of slots Cheesy

Yes, late registration will be available for some time and password will be posted in this thread for anyone interested to join.

I have added CoinEraser, rhomelmabini and iv4n to the list. You can maybe just add a link to my post in first post @efialtis and I will keep the list updated then.

I think efialtis was the one adding those on the lists for interested participants and I think the one we see in the OP is an outdated one. I guess we should wait for him to update it my username on Sportsbet is K1R1TO.

I'm possibly interested in playing. Who holds the funds in escrow and how many people is this tournament. What's the payout structure? And by the looks of it it's going to be played on a site that requires ID documents is that true?

Tourney is played at Sportsbet, so they have the funds Wink

Anybody can join, the password will be posted in here, so # of players is unknown, but I would think maybe ~25 next time. Tournament structure can be found here (at least it was like that last time). Sportsbet might ask you for KYC, there seems to be no stringent line who they kyc and who not.

I am generally fine with 6pm on Sundays, but could only join 16th and not 23rd this time.

@efialtis

Could you put this table in the first post (and update regularly Cheesy

) ? Makes it easier to know who is who at the tables and easier to find, when in first post.

Those are the names I found going through the thread:

I signed up on sportsbet yesterday and was able to play poker in freerolls yesterday and today without having to make KYC. I think only when it comes to payout, you have to do KYC, unfortunately. I like this site, but the KYC thing bothers me a bit. I don't like KYC either. Tongue

not by default, no. i play on sportsbet with an anonymous account through VPN because i live in a prohibited jurisdiction. i've had no problems yet, but i also don't store much funds there just in case.

they operate the same as non-KYC exchanges. of course they "reserve the right" to demand KYC, to cover their ass legally.

Then it's like a goddamn music to my ears

I'm in6 count me Cheesy

At least will try, 1mBTC really not a big deal. One moment: poker room has it's own chat, eh? To communicate and maybe tell some interesting stories.

SwC is one potential alternative. they are bitcoin-only, no KYC, and also no banned jurisdictions:

May I know if what's the agreed buy-in as the OP confuses me if it's 10 or 20 bucks?

1 mBTC for now.

They have what I call selective KYC. They can ask you anytime but from what I have seen so far they mainly ask for KYC when there is suspicion of multi accounting or if you use fiat.

I have been using them for half a year now (BTC & ETH) and they never asked me for KYC. I consider myself as high roller and never had any problems. Feel free to reach me via PM if you would like more info.

I would probably risk it in your place. 1 mbtc is not a lot of money and if worst happens I would let them keep it rather than do KYC.

Exactly let them have it than betting your privacy to them too. If this is possible then I can attend the event and join the fun with the other bitcointalk players, good thing that wasn't really that needed to bet on crypto. May I know if what's the agreed buy-in as the OP confuses me if it's 10 or 20 bucks?

Count me in!

+1. i did some digging. this issue doesn't come up very often. i would consider it similar to using a non-KYC account at binance or similar exchange. the possibility of them forcing KYC is possible, but small.

no big deal for a 1 mBTC buy-in. Cool
