Why doesn't swcpoker get more traffic? I know i now bitcoin and anonymous owners, but no one is saying to deposit your whole bankroll on the site, deposit the amount of buyins you need to play and if you need more it takes less than 15 minutes to deposit more, is there a reason swcpoker don't have a rep on 2+2 and push their site more answer players questions? does it have anything to do with the legal bs? or is it more -> small poker site less hassle from the government as in they won't bother them, or is it if they become a bigger traffic site governments might take a interest and try to shut them down again? I see this question asked a lot by many players, could someone explain the reasoning why they don't advertise more?

I like the site and be cool to see more traffic and why i ask, but if this post is in anyway -EV for the site delete it.

Not just swcpoker but every poker sites have this kind of problem because first it takes times when we played. Second, you really need many players to make sure it will generate more money, the money flow will be good. If you compare to other games like dice then it is really hard to tell. But swcpoker do have big members before they relaunch. You should checked on their past history

I was an old player since they changed their name to SwC Poker. At that time, many poker players were seen from full tables, but did not know why Poker enthusiasts were decreasing, indeed this does not apply to SwC but other poker sites. It is possible that the emergence of several new Casino sites has made them switch to other games.

Your site run it as you like of course, but as a player and just giving you some feedback when you sit and not get any action for hours all day and when you finally do its a hit and runner, its just makes the experience of playing or better worded not playing a bs experience. At least with more traffic you get some games running so when they do hit and run its whatever, players are turned away by this and might not want to play even when you do advertise more thinking yeah been there no thanks. You don't need to advertise a heap just a little to get that bit more traffic.

Btw your sites software is much more enjoyable and better then Ignition and Americas Cardroom, so advertise a bit at least just a bit, and that way you will also see how the site runs with more players like 500 players or whatever, instead of going big on advertising straight away and having too many players flock to the site, ease into the advertising, nothing wrong with building up a player pool slowly instead of just the 100 or so players as is.

You have all these countries that are banned but only 100 players on the site, geez I think there is more countries that are banned than players :-) like I said just ease into the traffic so at least 500 players are playing and 500 would be nothing given the amount of countries that are banned.

All the regressions introduced by that botched June update have not yet been fixed. There are quite a few annoying bugs that I and other players have reported in this thread.

Before talking about "refactoring" I would suggest focusing to undo the breakage first, it should not be too hard, no new features, just revert the bugs. And a bit of regression testing and quality control before launching an update would not hurt.

The BBJ tables should take extra rake.

That's the thing.  The rec players go broke much faster taking shots at 25/50.  You don't want that.  You want them to stay for as long as possible at lower stakes...  Attracting more traffic from there since it's more likely other rec players will rather play low than high.

And wait, a shot at 25/50 is 12 bucks?  BTC is at 12k.

No, it should not take extra rake, the concept is absolutely brilliant. What keeps lower stake players from sitting non-BBJ tables at lower stakes?

You can sit the BBJ tables with 1k chips ($12)

What?  And encourage everybody who can't afford a buy in at those stakes to short stack?  Lol.  That's gonna make the quality of the games go down.

STRONGLY disagree. And again, there are options who can't afford to pay $12 to play NLHE on site, the BBJ needs to be somewhat exclusive.

Disagree on?  Short stacking with 20bb's will deteriorate the quality of the games?  Lol...  Ok.  The site should have at least a 40bb minimum on all stakes.  IMHO.

SwC recognizes the last update introduced new bugs and must be fixed.
Rolling back software may not seem that hard, but it is a complex process for us today, part of the reason we are doing a large software refactor is to make it easier and faster for us to deliver updates or roll back if needed.
Security is the top concern at SwC so we will continue to go slow and careful.
Estimate late next week for a client update to address current issues.

Quick idea: Let people win multiple BigBTC tickets and then give them away to other players.

No downside I can see to SWC (except for a bit more organisational effort), more sats would probably run and more people would get the chance to play for free/cheap.

Also, QoL request: Please show the regged SNGs/tourneys as "In Game" in cashier and reflect in total balance. I keep getting mini heart attacks when I forget I'm regged and open the cashier.

No downside you can see, really? How about creating a dark market to sell extra tickets, for less than BI value even, because degenerates rather have some extra chips than give a ticket away that they can't even use? Or people using them as a kind of staking arrangement, but then the horse absconding with funds after a big score, causing more needless drama? Please. I'm sure there are many other less than ideal scenarios, but I thought of those two in under a minute.

I haven't played on SWC in months, and not sure how their ticket system even works, but some more logical solutions would be:

1. Don't allow players to win multiple tickets. This eliminates the desire to play sattys for more than one ticket and should open up the field for different players to win. It may have an adverse effect on getting sattys to run though, given a limited player pool.
2. Don't make tickets specific for a month. You can win as many tickets as you like, they are nontransferable, and be can used for the same tournament (or a tournament with same BI?) at a future date.
3. Credit anything over one ticket in the amount of the ticket BI in chips. This option may need tweaking though, as it can essentially remove money from the GTD prize pool, since the player isn't forced to use the chips for the tournament.

Also, regarding your free/cheap reasoning, while satellites do allow more people to play a tournament they wouldn't normally, or for less than what they would possibly pay by buying in directly, other people still have to cover the value of the ticket BI. Satellites can't be compared to freerolls in that regard.

The staking arrangement can happen anyways, regardless of whether you can transfer tickets and what's so bad about people buying tickets for cheap? They get in for cheap, the other players win some chips, the tournament still has the full value and satellites run more frequently. Classic win/win/win, how is that a downside?

Oh, and the satellites frequently have huge overlays or are actual freerolls, so no, other people do not have to cover the BI of the ticket and yes, you can compare it to freerolls in that regard.

[FFrankie]

What safety measures do you have in place to prevent X amount of people concluding together on a table to take all of one persons money.

I see your rake is low, but do you guys publish your total profit anywhere? Or the amount of money you rake in per day

SwC does not publish rake or profit data. We monitor collusion in a number of different ways, including both algorithms and human eyes. We do not disclose our exact methods because that would make them less effective. SwC takes collusion very seriously and responds to collusion at managements discretion.

Why not just copy Stars' tourney dollar system and have an internal economy around it with people sellimg their extra tickets for T$ and trade them as much as they want.

[SkyReVo]

Because SWC wants people to specifically play the BigBTC so they don't have to cover the guarantee. That would happen with my proposal but not with T$.

[tokeweed]

^  If they had the ability to transfer the ticket to another player, they'd still be selling it for BTC, but without the benefit of an internal economy that tourney dollars would make for the site.

[SwC_Poker]

The BIG BTC tickets are often won for less than par value. This is by design, a way for the site to give back to the players and help create a big monthly tournament. We don't want a small group of players to win the majority of the seats, we want to spread this promotion to a wider group of players so we made the rule that tickets cannot be transferred or cashed in. It is a promotion for each player to have a chance to cheaply qualify for the BIG BTC, and we will keep it like that for now.

MrHodl's Bitcoin Twitter Showdown is getting a lot of attention, and we got many emails to support for it. Please understand only @mrhodl on twitter can give you the password, and he is only giving passwords to bitcoin twitter personalities to make this a special event for that community. Only @mrhodl will determine who is in the bitcoin twitter community. SwC is hosting the event for him and providing a free seat for the satellite, which is open to all players.

Hey everyone, this video below is at risk of being deleted due to low view count (technically all my videos are lol)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAboccYTiCg

Why is this video so weak?  it's tough to see it from others' perspectives sometimes but I feel it's either

1. too long
2. first time i plugged in this thread
3. people want me to stick with big0
4. too much verbal diarrhea, content not really good till 13min mark
5a. strategy is somewhat average with a bunch of made up vocabulary
5b. play is somewhat average with a bunch of mistakes
6. all of above lol?
7. something else?

People want more advertising for this site.  

Welp, I have been playing poker for 15 years, play exclusively on this site, make videos of my play, and cover exotic games simply not covered across the web.  I don't get paid, my videos are free, i am told i am entertaining & offer informative helpful strategy.

So my whole channel doesn't even have 1k views in the aggregate.  That means my content needs work.

But if you guys at least watch, like and/or share my videos we could maybe get the view count up.  Then people will google my tags like 'swcPoker', 'big0', etc and my videos might actually pop up on a search.  

This could actually lead to more traffic on seals.  That's kinda what I'm trying to do.  You see, if I can help build this site up to even as little as 500-1000 players that would dramatically affect my part-time income on this site in a positive way.  That's how I will get paid in the long run.  And you too.

Thanks

Yeah I was a bit taken aback when I first learned about the mrhodl showdown thing. But since you are interested in giving back to the community and definitely seem like you're in it for the long run, what are you doing outside of the twitter-verse or bitcointalk-verse to get more new blood into the ecosystem? Is there any planned promotion coming up like that?

SwC will continue to build better software and continue to sign up high quality affiliates.

Today we are focused on building, once we are satisfied with our software we will do a big marketing spend.

It's no use for him, he's a newbie rank and the campaign duration lasts for 1 month. Whether he purchase a copper membership now just to become eligible for the freeroll, I think it won't count anymore because it's about to end.

And that duration shall end today because the campaign started last June 18.
