Guys let's be honest with each other, SwC hasn't cared for here for a long long time, sometimes they come in and share some images and leave but that's about it, they never really cared about what is going on here, and not with the chat neither. If it was a proper place they would have been a lot bigger already, they never really left that long (there was a small stint when they were closed) and still they failed to get too many people into their website, why? Because they just do not care, no marketing, no moderators, no admins, no proper business at all, they just let it be and that's it.
There will be swastikas, there will be hate, there will be anything they can do and that's the problem, if people can say or do anything they want and nobody is there to enforce them to abide the rules, then there are no rules, if you killed someone but no cop arrests you, then you are free to do it, it is the same logic.

If they weren't caring for this place, why would they sponsor Bitcointalk Poker Series @ SwC, I was talking about couple of posts above?
In the realm of success, crypto poker sites shouldn't be compared to slots/dice/sports sites, because those are very different things. Sustaining a real poker isn't easy and attracting players to the site is not easy either. Poker players around the world are still hesitant in going crypto, so, from my personal experience, having 100+ players online is a good achievement in the crypto poker world. (and that's what SwC is having most of the time in the recent months.)
They may be not making huge profits right now, but that's OK because they are future-oriented. They have proven themselves to be a nice place to play real poker with real people, and I'm sure this is going to pay off in the future.
The BBJ needs to be paid for? The players pay for that by playing and paying rake and at the end swc takes 10% of the jackpot when its hit.
Freerolls are pretty much non existed, only some small and cheap ones. The weekly/monthly ladders are paid with rake and they already cut them to almost half to what they were.
Not to mention, over the last year they increased the rake to become 1 of the sites with the highest rake.
Trust me, they dont break even. Servers are not that expensive, security measures at swc are almost non existing. They dont even have staff, if they had they would answer emails and so on.
There was never a month when the bottom prices of the ladder paid like super little rake, trust me.
SWC still have enough players that pay a lot of rake, just not enough to actually get a lot of tables going.
Even in January/February where many regs made the strike the leaderboard was big enough.
You need to factor all of their expenses really.
I doubt swc is turning much profit recently by the games that are running. Sure, maybe they'd do better by giving more back in the long run, but bitching about them reducing leaderboard prizes because 'it's paid for with rake' is just dumb and shows you aren't bothering to consider any perspective other than your own.
Good luck!
