Traffic's not really picking up. And it's really hard to attract players in without some first time deposit bonus which worked like a charm back in the day with fiat poker sites. But then again it's hard to prevent it from being gamed if SWC's registration requires no ID.
I guess to intice players, maybe have daily temporary, limited time no rake tables at all micro stakes - low takes..?
how do you get this impression? there's like 15 bbj tables running in the evenings, 500/1k mixed games have run and 5-10k tournaments run aswell.
I do agree though that they need to do something for the off-peak hours, turns out some of us are not US players.
While we're at mixed games: Any improvements wrt to NL2-7SD? 11 game badly needs this, it's such a fun variant.
SwC is happy with growth since Bitcoin Poker 3.0 launch. We peaked at about 270 connected players for the February BIG BTC and are ramping up promotions and marketing to help drive more and more players to SwC Poker. Word of mouth from existing players continues to be the best marketing we have - once a trusted poker friend tells you about the low rake, fast cashouts, and player friendly features, that's better marketing than any ad we could buy.
We still have so much to build and so much to optimize. The tournament schedule will have some additions and subtractions soon as we try to optimize that area of the site. Lightning network capable deposits and withdrawals are being built and remain a priority for us to bring into the game. We still have many small bugs and UI optimizations that need to be made, the affiliate reporting area is set to improve, and our Twitch channel and website integration is set to begin soon. For new promotions, the next one we will introduce is "Leaderboards 3.0" and they will award prizes for both cash and tournament players. More details on leaderboards at a later date.
The rest of 2019 will be a period of growth for SwC Poker, we think the product is professional quality and our team is ready to handle more traffic.
