6/4/2019 SwC Update

SwC has decided to cover the bitcoin network fee for player withdrawals while we build lightning network functionality. If we find players abusing this generous policy by requesting many small withdrawals management will be forced to make additional rulings at management discretion.

Our software refactor is expected to take weeks or months to complete, for it is a large project. We will introduce 'leaderboard' promotion before the software refactor is finished, as that does not require additional client functions.

forwarded to the developers. the team continues with code refactor. feedback requested for short deck hand rankings. should we change it or keep same?

we found an issue today with the main website when viewed from iphone and are working on it now.

SwC provides very high value satellites on the day of the BIG BTC to give our players a bonus chance to win entry into the biggest bitcoin poker tournament of the month. We lose money on purpose to promote the big tournament and reward our players. We expect a big turnout for BIG BTC today, get your seat and a chance at a big bitcoin prize!

we set the jackpot to hit on aces full of tens or better so the jackpot players win the extra payout more frequently. it is our first try at bbj so we may adjust in the future, but we think the low qualifier keeps the game exciting. as the site grows and more jackpot table hands get played per day we may consider raising the qualifier to keep the jackpot hitting every few months on average. internal discussion also produced an idea for 'easy beat' and 'hard beat' jackpots. after software refactor is complete we will address current bugs and then move to building new features like multiple jackpots.

Thank you to the players for the feedback. We are working on a big code refactor to increase our ability to address bugs and build features. Your feedback is valuable to us.

SwC Poker actively monitors collusion in multiple ways. We do not discuss our methods, and we are building more tools over time to improve them. SwC Poker handles collusion incidents at management's discretion. If you choose to play at SwC Poker, you choose to accept that rule.

SwC Poker is committed to keeping our bitcoin poker room a fair and player friendly place to play.

Thank you for the response SkyReVo. The statement was made to encourage players that want to help grow SwC to sit at the stakes and games they wish to play because the site now has enough traffic that games often fill quickly. For instance with our increased traffic there may be 5 players with the lobby open and willing to play a specific game and stakes, if just one of them sits a 5 handed game will quickly get started. We also made the statement so players understand that SwC does not employ 'props' or 'shills' to start games, as we have been approached by multiple players who claim to have a deal like this with another site.

Our status quo of low rake, fair games, and fast cashouts is what we offer today, with a cool new leaderboard promotion around the corner. The coming months will be spent improving the software, adding lightning network, and building cool features that players may remember from older SwC versions. Any help from our loyal players is appreciated.

SwC Poker is at a tipping point in current traffic levels. Site traffic and account creation is steadily increasing, and the average number of players on the site continues to slowly rise. There are often many players waiting to play if their game type in acceptable stakes is going. If you want to help the site, please start tables and sit at multiple variants you would play. SwC has never employed or used any "shills" or "bots" to make games go. 100% of the play on SwC is organic. Telling your friends about our record level bad beat jackpot, low rake, and fast cashouts is a great way to help the site too.

Thank you to our loyal players, we continue to work hard on our software and the promotion of the site.
