Thank you for the nice comments on the new poker software. We understand the behavior going on in heads up tables. For now we will leave the games as they are but we recognize this is an area that can be improved.

Experiencing a website issue, game is operating normal on all clients. We do not expect the issue to last long.

Edit: Fixed

This is often how the internal discussion ends. As long as site existed there is only Bitcoin as settlement method. The user is responsible for showing up and leaving with Bitcoin. Monero has properties we like also, but the SwC roadmap has a large amount of improvements to make to the software before there is a chance to make different currencies available, so the discussion is for the future.

Today it is critical to focus on improving the platform and growing the player pool.

Lightning network wallet function is under active development. We expect to bring this feature to the game in February.


Internal discussion about adding other coins in the future as completely separate currencies. For instance if we enable Ethereum deposits we also enable Ethereum tables. We're not ready for something like that yet, and we don't want to disrupt the pure Bitcoin poker we have always spread, but it has been discussed and we appreciate player feedback on it. Coins discussed for addition were ltc bch xmr eth doge


It needs more testing. Pineapple will be back as a game variant in the future. There are other

Marketing team said we had to give away a BIG BTC ticket in this thread. Please post your username and a short essay on why it should be you. We will choose a winner tomorrow.

Traffic is increasing week over week since 3.0 launch. Marketing efforts have begun. We believe the site will grow substantially in 2019.


Bounty tournaments are in active development.


OFC changes are in active development.

OFC MTT is in active development. We will bring it to the game when it is tested working on dev environment.


SwC has anti-collusion tools and we police our games to prevent multi-accounting. There are basic automatic protections like software will not allow same-IP to sit at same table, but also advanced tools to look for other shared factors. We do not divulge full details of our anti-collusion policy because we don't want to give ideas to cheaters. The SwC community has been helpful for spotting multi-accouters early. We investigate all accusations.


Players pay the exact network fee when making a withdrawal. Nothing additional charged by SwC Poker. The network fee is taken from the amount withdrawn.

Not at this time.

We have been working on lightning functionality for a couple of months. Once it is complete and tested we will release.

OFC tournaments are quite difficult to run correctly. SkyRevo has it partially correct. We are working hard to bring them to the game. If you are interested in helping us beta test the next software builds please contact Glitch in lobby chat. We could use more players to help us there.

The best affiliates are plugged in to their local poker communities and play SwC themselves. We want to make a big poker site, but also to spread understanding of Bitcoin.

SwC Poker benefits greatest from word of mouth advertising. The affiliate program is in place for anyone or any organization with high ethics that wants to hustle for us. If you want to promote in your local area, please contact the affiliate team:  affiliates@swcpoker.eu

We want to create a world-wide poker site, so we will focus on marketing in time zones where we currently have downtime. The next phase of the software and website will feature translations to different languages, so we will try to fill the dead time with more players. We are looking to find strong affiliates in South Korea & Australia so we can get promotion going in those regions.

These formats are a good suggestion and will come a bit later, as we are still working on SNG lobby.


For now we will continue to use the ticket system, as we would need to build the tournament money system and there are many other features we want to make before that.

We changed the MTT schedule around a little bit including a 5k buy in 50k GTD daily tournament that pairs well with the 500 chip satellite that starts 75 minutes prior. You can also win your seat with a variety of SnGs.
