SWC rake compared with America's Cardroom. The USD stakes on the far left column are slightly off since they were calibrated at btc price of $20,000.


SwC's wallet needed to be synced back up yesterday which created a several hour window of deposits/withdrawals not being able to be requested. This has since been fixed.

AlexTrebbert, SwC is aware that you and others want the rake adjusted and find ACR's higher % but lower max rake to be more favorable. They are currently working on creating a new rake schedule, which should come out this week.



I have not been saying I "find ACR's higher % but lower max rake to be more favorable." I have been saying for months that I find ACR's hu rake better.  Lower heads up rake makes it easier to start games. What you need to do is to have limit games of $10/20 and under like ACR be 50 cent USD heads up rake. And hu limit rake should never be over $1 USD so set it accordingly so you don't kill the games again. You are raking over $2 USD in heads up limit games now at $25/$50 and above.

Your lower % makes very little difference in bigger limit games. It's all about the cap.

Also look into the big bet heads up rake.  The ACR max is $1.25 at $5/10, $1 for $2/4 - $4/8, and $.50 bellow that. SWC is currently raking over $3 USD heads up at some of the biggest stakes.

Yes I could complain about other problems in your rake schedule, but I have consistently stuck with pointing out the heads up situation.

When you have the rake too high heads up, you create extreme bum hunting situations.  You make it impossible for regs to battle hu to get a game going because the game becomes unbeatable and the only one winning is SWC.

Traditionally I have defended SWC when it comes to rake, but Bert is right, this is getting a little ridiculous. It feels a little bit like you're trying to feel out whether/what people will accept. Rake cap at Chinese is $12 now and over $7 dollar on the jackpot tables. That is higher than in Vegas live games!

I know you want to give yourself a little christmas present, fine. But for the new year, you really should be more proactive in quick changes. Such is the burden of a site dealing with a (quickly) appreciating asset. Atleast you can lower the rake (not really, just keeping in reasonable in fiat terms) and get the associated PR, where $ sites have to raise rake just to counter inflation. You may want to use that.

Edit: I was notified that I should also note the recent positives, so here we go: HS series seems fun, with the BTC price I may even play some more 3ks (won the BigO). Giving a multiplier for people registering early was a good idea, coming from a guy who won't be competing for the leaderboard. And yes, the change to the mix schedule was good and necessary. Good job on those!

Fantastic changes in today's 11game 5k tourney. Flattening the 1st 4 levels makes these levels worth playing and should get more players to register on time.  For those who didn't play they made level 1- 4 all the same blinds as level 4. I would suggest doing the same thing for all tourneys that are limit.

Lower cash game rake caps. It's getting silly. The last rake change was at BTC $18,000. BTC is almost $27,000 now. That's a 50% rake increase in USD value.

EVENT 13 SUPER SATELLITE STARTING SOON!





Do we have to play all the 42 events or do we only need to play 1 event to win the prizes on the leaderboard  Huh

You only need to play 1 event to get points but that doesnt mean your points will be enough to get into the top ten leaderboard. If you take the 1st place in one of the tournament and another player placed 5th on average for 20 events, the other player would probably have higher points than you. Most regulars here are pretty hardcore and they will probably play in majority of this events

If you already take away the chat from certain players at least let them write /action.

Exactly this, please remove the 500 krills requirement to chat.



@Swc_Poker : I sent an email to support but havent heard back from you, please check. Two emails in fact because you havent reply 24 hours after I sent the first one


Thank you, this is correct. There is no mininum number of events needed to qualify for the leaderboard. Prizes will be paid to the 10 players with the most points at the conclusion of the series. Leaderboard standings will be updated and posted nightly to track your position. You can also receive a 1.5x bonus on points earned in events by registering for them before the start time.

If you have yet to receive a reply and have checked your email spam folders, you can send a PM to this account with your email address and support will investigate.

There are at least five events that I can play safely without affecting my bankroll that I have assigned to SwC POKER to try to hit something and calmly play a 4-figure buyin.

The event #30/#42 with a buy-in 1000 chips for a guaranteed $75,000/$50,000  Cool / looks pretty.

Can you please move the buy-in back up to 10k? The prize pool has been lower every week since the buy in was lowered from 10k to 5k.  It used to be 80 - 120k. The highest prize pool of the 1st 3 weeks of this tourney as a 5k was about 70k. And now it didn't even meet the minimum number of players to run. The 10k ran more than 75% of the time.  This is obviously a failed experiment.

Can you please move this tourney back up to 10k chips like several regulars requested? This is the 2nd week in a row it didn't run.

Thank you for the feedback. With the potential for rapid movement in either direction it is not always possible to make adjustments in real time, but SwC will always continue to monitor the price movements of Bitcoin, and as new levels are established adjustments to the caps will be made to keep them in line.


@SWC_Poker: You know I really don't care if you delete my posts, but I am wondering: Why the censoring? These people who bring up issues here are your regulars, they are providing you with revenue. And furthermore, there is a very good chance that their input is valuable to you, as they likely have more knowledge with regards to the environment you provide than you have, given that.. you know.. they're the regulars.

Whether you change things or not, irrelevant. But losing the good will of those (few! 500 by the end of year, right?) who are willing to play on your site seems counterintuitive to me.


We do not aim to censor this thread. All feedback and opinions from players are welcome to be shared here. The original post remains in this thread and we appreciate the feedback and input. A reply was given to the original post. Duplicate posts from the same user that have been acknowledged and replied to may be deleted to keep the thread clean so that other users are able to easily read and have their voices heard. We understand the valid feedback and questions about rake caps. Because of the potential for rapid price movements it is not possible to make adjustments in real time, but SwC will continue to monitor the exchange rate and as new levels are established adjustments will be made to the rake caps to keep them in line.
