Site looks great, guys! Definitely going to hop into the Big BTC this time around.

I have two very, very minor suggestions though:

1) Tournaments that are starting within the next hour should say "In X Minutes" under the Start tab, rather than their actual start time. Showing the countdown might create a sense of urgency and get a few more people to join.

2) I'd like to be able to see my discards in OFC/p.

Again, love what you're doing with the site!

Stay safe everyone 

The Quarantine Series will run from March 23rd to March 29th, featuring two series events each day, culminating in an extraordinary BIG BTC Sunday.

Thank you for these reports. The team is still working and the process continues. Please let us know if you find anything else to report or have other requests or feedback.


Thank you for the review!

This house has been around for about 27 years or so.... All kidding aside it is the most known poker website in all of crypto, there have been attempts to dethrone it multiple times but all of the other ones either closed shop or just became nobodies, even the biggest places that open up poker part of their casinos couldn't get enough people to their websites.

SwC has peaked in a point where poker players are not really too rampant in crypto community, there aren't really tens of thousands of them, the amount of dice gamblers is probably 10x more than poker players, so SwC started at the right time and the right place and never scammed anyone so they got like 110% of the crypto poker market. Hopefully they will continue to attract more poker players as well.

Came back to the site after 6 month break. Sadly the following bug is still not fixed:

* Enter key doesn't work in notes you write about players.

How hard can it be to fix this? I think it's the 3rd time I am reporting this. Also found this:

* Stakes in hand history are incorrect (twice as large) in hands that don't have a small blind.
* Played a 5 card omaha HILO 1/2 cash game, and there was no hand history file created at all.

There were other issues but don't remember all of them now. Will report more as I play.
Also a question: Is the refactoring finally over?

Come by and check out the room! Freerolls are running 24/7 and start on the :30's if you want to try the site without depositing. We have cash games & tournaments running around the clock!

I have never played a hand properly here but I saw that the unofficial bitcointalk poker tournament was held on this website, which is how I found it,,, I have to admit that the world of poker is a lot more complicated than I knew it to be (I always played normal poker before).

I am definitely checking this place out:)

This is a known issue that affected a few players. It will be fixed soon and chips will be automatically credited to your account.

EDIT: All players have been made whole.

Yesterday,March 15, 2020 I was playing 5 card omaha hilo.The table stated disconnected while playing and kicked everyone from the table without returning the chips we had back into our accounts.Its now been over 24 hours later and our chips still have not been returned and no new updates from SWC Poker management on what happened and when we will be reimbursed our chips.

This issue has been fixed.

There was a brief outage earlier today that affected some tables. The team has identified the problem and is in the process of crediting chips to those players. Systems are fine now and we do not believe you will experience any issues joining a game.

Maybe that this could creates interest in the community since having giveaways are great  and more people in this forum will try that giveaway.

^  Good change on the Short Deck tables.  The ante only structure is what's really making the game 'feel new' than what big bet poker players are used to.

You are correct. Thank you for the report. The team is working on it.

♣️ Bounty amounts shown for each player on the table in PKO tournaments

♣️ Fixed bug that caused icons to show in table chat in place of certain words (back, heart, diamond, etc.)
♣️ Fixed bug that prevented hand-for-hand from being used in certain tournaments

♣️ Added new game type Pineapple Hold'em
♣️ Short Deck Hold'em changed to Ante-Only
♣️ Re-Entry now available for select tournaments
♣️ Added new FLIP SNG satellites with no entry fee

If I had to guess, it appears the auto-rebuy topped me off to the 200 max right before the split pot was awarded. So those 140 chips came out of my account onto my stack (and returned when I left). But that should not have happened.

Just came across a weird ring game bug. I started a hand with 200 chips against an opponent with 140. I called his all-in and we split the pot so he started the next hand with 140 again yet my stack showed 340. However when I left the table a couple hands later my account was not credited with that extra 140. Here is the hand history:

Not personally a fan of re-entry in general but I can understand one re-entry in the Big BTC.  It's only once a month and it's the biggest tournament so allowing one second chance seems fair.  And it should help increase the prize pool, so that's good.

Some screenshots of the new look after the update:









Pineapple is fun, haven't played that in years.

The short deck with antes is interesting.  I love how quickly the cards are dealt on those tables.  Regular holdem with antes like that might be fun to try.

It's sad that nobody is playing at SwC anymore just few jackpot tables are running.

^  How about a Krill promo for the PLO and short deck tables to encourage more action.  I think the SWC NLHE grinders should play them...  Since everybody else could follow them too.  Lol.

New versions of the Windows, Mac, and Android clients have been released and will update automatically when opened. Within the next couple of days there will also be a brief downtime for maintenance to update the server.

These updates introduce a number of UI and gameplay improvements, features, bug fixes, and the ability to spread new games.

A short list of some of the software improvements available now:

♣️ A "Lock Orientation" checkbox on Android tables to prevent the screen from rotating
♣️ Larger hole cards at Android vertical tables for improved visibility and selection of discards
♣️ Filters added for all games and table sizes on Windows and Mac clients with the ability to select multiple options
♣️ Improved hand replayer on Windows and Mac clients with 'Previous' and ''Next Step' buttons added for quicker navigation
♣️ Bounty amounts shown for each player on the table in PKO tournaments
♣️ A new dark theme for Windows and Mac clients
♣️ Improved table graphics, buttons and text

And for the first time:

The March BIG BTC Will Have 1 Re-Entry Available!

A full detailed list of all changes will be posted here and on the website after the server update is complete.

Active development continues. Thank you to all players for making SwC the largest bitcoin poker site. We're excited to deliver these updates and hear your feedback.
