Something I'd like to see (other than 2-7 Triple Draw) is High Stakes Poker style cash tables, with an ante, no max buyin, and relatively high blinds for the average buyin.  This could be fun even at microstakes.  Also, alternate blind structures like 1/1 or 2/3 and an option to live straddle tend to generate a bit more action.

I can promise you that the team works tirelessly towards this goal.

New games and features are on the horizon.  It will be months and months, but active work is being done daily towards this end.

tytytyty for playing SwC - we are building it better in the background

Would be great to have a reward for players reaching different krills and wave levels. A great promo would be giving players avatars for reaching different wave and krill levels different customized the higher the level. Would really boost peoples efforts to get more krill and be rewarded with customized avatars. More the rake better the customized avatars as bragging rights

Wondering why when I hover cursor over my name it doesn't show my level. I will be Tricky Seal tomorrow having reached 10k in krill but when put mouse over my name it doesn't show my seal level?

There was a bug that caused some titles to disappear, when you move up a level it will work from then on. This only affected display, bonuses and rakeback were never affected.

Why was the plo8 guarantee tourney taken down? This tourney always met the guarantee requirements with never an overlay. The tournament structure really needs to be tweeked with more tournaments added and the good tourneys , popular ones like the plo8 4:35pm shouldn't be removed.

Thanks for putting it back up some more 100ish tournament guarantees would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the 2x krill from 2am to 10 am also hope its still up next month finally cracked 10k krill

It was never meant to be taken down. It was pointed out to us that Omaha tourneys ought not have antes and it was accidentally left offline after it was fixed.

The krill system may evolve a bit more, but there will be a multiplier for the off-peak hours for at least a few months.

Seals rake is about the lowest you'll find anywhere.

Other sites that give huge rakeback deals charge twice as much rake to begin with.

5% rake with 50% RB = 2.5% rake with no RB

Low rake is good but the way we perceive the rakeback doesn't correlate. For example:

If rake is 10% and rakeback is 8%
If rake is 20% and rakeback is 16%

We will always perceive the 16% rakeback as being the better deal, despite them both being the same. At the same time, we look at the rake and say that the 10% is better than the 20%, although again both end up equal.

So no matter how they have the rake/rakeback set up, there will always be people on both sides (liking/disliking).
Just can't get the logic of your statements (here and the other thread as well). All our critics (at least mine) is not about the numbers.
It was about the fact that, the rakeback and rewarding system and schedule is better to have a more logical continuous progression. Otherwise we all know that Seals rake/rakeback regime is too generous and better than most in industry even if there would have not been any rakeback given at all.

cant seem to open any ring games, anyone else having the same issue?

The launcher won't work in client v0.2.11 now. If you try to log in using v0.2.11 you will now be instructed to upgrade, but if you've had the client open for about a day you wouldn't have gotten that message.

I must say I loved your confrontation with the BFL guy, had me laughing for ages

"You giving out free quaters too??"

Good stuff haha, that guy was a complete d**k

scammers of that scale must be exposed IMO

I am able to open them, although some were reporting issues earlier.  Very likely a member of ST6 already fixed it.  Verify it's working or if you need a specific game opened now I'll certainly handle that in the meantime.

BIG BTC today @ 6pm Server time, and a new "Morning w/the Chairman" just posted on our FB page:

Makes sense about the chat to black. When are new promos coming out I heard something was in the works. One thing to remember is that you started out when site started and bitcoins were 10 dollars per bitcoin or less now bitcoin is 130 per bitcoin so maybe krill needs to be updated for those of us with site for couple of months. I have been playing 3 months. I put in a lot of volume comparatively  and am almost at 10k krill which is 2 percent and that really isn't going to get me much rakeback. Krill takes a long time to accrue and while I understand what you are saying should have a little more inscentive for people putting in a lot of volume to offset the variance . Going to take me over a year to get to 50k in krill . A lot of sites give you 35 percent right off I understand Seals can't give those types of deals as a new site but something a little more player friendly would really be appreciated.

Right off the top we essentially give 50% back in the sense that we're about 50% cheap than 'normal' sites. Then we do 50% more back for 2 and 3 handed play at 6 and 9 seat ring tables. So even with no krill lever you should think of it as 50% to 75% RB at Seals.

It is rather slow to move up krill ranks, but unlike most sites you don't lose your rank for inactivity, it just slowly marches up.

5000 krill gets you in the 140 hour krill freeroll (that's a bit more often than every week) and you don't have to keep playing in order to keep access to that. Right now the prize is 2000 chips and we haven't changed that even as bitcoin values have gone up 10x and more, same with the fixed chip prizes. We might have to change them eventually, but we like to keep things stable. Wave 4 still says tba because there might eventually be something else merchandise related that players become eligible for at that level.

Starting tomorrow, krill will be awarded to 0.1 precision. Low games still get proportionally more krill per rake because of how square roots work, krill is sqrt(rake), but with less distortion from the rounding we can offer more lower stakes games and put them in the launcher (coming soon).

Also starting tomorrow 2x krill for play between 2am and 10am ET.

There will be more promos coming, I'll give hints when I'm sure the ones we want to offer can be achieved in a smooth way technically.

sorry previous one I wrote in a wrong pattern. So I repeat for better readability:
We know that u have a very low rake deal, also good rakeback (lets say giveback). What we say is that the rakeback ladder could have a more logical progression pace. The current plan harms even more to the site than players, since it pushes grinders/big rake makers away due to the fact I mentioned before in a post.

That is exactly my point too. Look at other big name sites: they either have depositor freerolls or limited number of freerolls available for each player per day or week, etc. And also they have better prize structure for their big crowded freerolls.
Every hour 50chips freeroll, with min 150 entrants, and only 3 prizes... again I put the irony: some slot or hourly lottery would be more fun then.

Think of it like a bitcoin faucet for poker players, instead of a captcha, play this game (possibly for a long time).

It also lets people try the software out any time of day and gives people something to do at Seals while they wait to get more bitcoins. It may (or may not) be less vital now, but I think it really kept us going in the beginning and helped to draw in a lot of players who are now regs and wouldn't touch that dirty freeroll.

It isn't meant to be strong poker competition, that's what the real games are for.
