We expect to announce a system to claim your Bitcoin Cash tokens within days. This has taxed our already limited development resources but we felt it was too much value to our players to ignore. Once the system is ready, we will announce so on this forum, on our website, and on our twitter account @swcpoker
They might as well have spent 5 months rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic unless they somehow manage to produce some functional software in the upcoming weeks rather than the vaporware to which we've become accustomed.
