SwC Poker has upgraded password security. In a recent incident, several accounts with weak passwords exhibited unusual activity. Out of an abundance of caution, we are requiring all players to reset their passwords, substantially increasing the minimum requirements. We strongly encourage the use of 2-factor authentication, and it may soon become mandatory.

Funds are safe, as the vast majority of player funds are held offline. The players affected by this incident will be made whole by SwC.

I tried to reset my password but I did not receive any email.
As of now, I'm locked out.

What should I do?

BTW,

I'm using 2FA since at least 2016

Nevermind.

I'm in

[SwC_Poker]

SwC has learned that a service provider we used found and patched a security issue recently, thus we can't rule out a compromise. Additionally, our previous players' password policy was too relaxed and lead to some players setting very weak passwords, so a mandatory reset for all players had to be initiated sooner or later and recent events brought that forward.

If you need assistance with the password reset please send an email to support@swcpoker.eu.

ANNOUNCING THE
BITCOIN POKER HOLIDAY SERIES!

DEC 25th - JAN 3rd

SwC is proud to present the 2020 Bitcoin Poker Holiday Series!

The Holiday Series consists of 42 events over the course of 10 days, with buy-ins ranging from just 100 chips up to the 10k Main Event!

The series kicks off with 3 events on Christmas Day, including Event #3 The Herculean, a 250 Buy-In NLH tournament with a 25,000 GTD prize pool.

Join us at 12am ET on New Years Eve for Event #27 NYE Ball Drop Turbo, and then celebrate the arrival of 2021 with Event #30 New Years Day Turbo, a 1k Buy-In tournament with 75,000 GTD!

The Holiday Series Main Event will feature a 750,000 GTD prize pool and be held on January 3rd.

Each day also features two 1k Holiday Freerolls open to all!

As you can see from the charts above, there are many rake games that need to be adjusted to be competitive in the industry.  However, I believe the main issue is heads up rake. Heads up is how games begin. The heads up games need to be raked substantially less to allow games to run longer and be beatable. This allows for ring games tables to fill.  I have repeatedly pointed this out in this thread.

The mid stakes and high stakes games rake caps are 50% to 100% more than America's Cardroom.  Although SWC's rake % is lower, the lower % is irrelevant at mid and high stakes games where the cap is reached the majority of the time.

The last rake adjustment by SWC was Nov. 18th when BTC was approximately $18,000.  With BTC at almost $21,000 this is about a 15% increase in the BTC price.  This results in a 15% increase in USD rake. However even on Nov. 18th, I believe the rake was too high heads up to promote game growth. Now it's just even worse.

Thank you for the feedback. With the potential for rapid movement in either direction it is not always possible to make adjustments in real time, but SwC will always continue to monitor the price movements of Bitcoin, and as new levels are established adjustments to the caps will be made to keep them in line.

[mipmip33]

Crazy work Alex thanks  , yes the rake is way too high, hope SWC will adjust that soon!

[SwC_Poker]

THURSDAY DOUBLES BEGIN IN 1 HOUR

Play in both A and B tournaments at the same time.

The player with the best combined finish in A and B will win the weekly bonus.

Win both A and B and you will also win the progressive bonus!

Facts have become a very delicate issue with SWC, unfortunately. But yes, rake is too high and needs adjustments.

I'm not sure why all your charts got deleted - The players lounge thread would be a good place to post them because that's useful information to all the players.

@SWC_Poker: You know I really don't care if you delete my posts, but I am wondering: Why the censoring? These people who bring up issues here are your regulars, they are providing you with revenue. And furthermore, there is a very good chance that their input is valuable to you, as they likely have more knowledge with regards to the environment you provide than you have, given that.. you know.. they're the regulars.

Whether you change things or not, irrelevant. But losing the good will of those (few! 500 by the end of year, right?) who are willing to play on your site seems counterintuitive to me.

We do not aim to censor this thread. All feedback and opinions from players are welcome to be shared here. The original post remains in this thread and we appreciate the feedback and input. A reply was given to the original post. Duplicate posts from the same user that have been acknowledged and replied to may be deleted to keep the thread clean so that other users are able to easily read and have their voices heard. We understand the valid feedback and questions about rake caps. Because of the potential for rapid price movements it is not possible to make adjustments in real time, but SwC will continue to monitor the exchange rate and as new levels are established adjustments will be made to the rake caps to keep them in line.

[AlexTrebbert]

Can you please move the buy-in back up to 10k? The prize pool has been lower every week since the buy in was lowered from 10k to 5k.  It used to be 80 - 120k. The highest prize pool of the 1st 3 weeks of this tourney as a 5k was about 70k. And now it didn't even meet the minimum number of players to run. The 10k ran more than 75% of the time.  This is obviously a failed experiment.

Can you please move this tourney back up to 10k chips like several regulars requested? This is the 2nd week in a row it didn't run.

[scammed-by-nitro]

1 more thing.

If you already take away the chat from certain players at least let them write /action.

But I guess thats too high for your system, just like the password thing.

[arallmuus]

Do we have to play all the 42 events or do we only need to play 1 event to win the prizes on the leaderboard 

You only need to play 1 event to get points but that doesnt mean your points will be enough to get into the top ten leaderboard. If you take the 1st place in one of the tournament and another player placed 5th on average for 20 events, the other player would probably have higher points than you. Most regulars here are pretty hardcore and they will probably play in majority of this events

If you already take away the chat from certain players at least let them write /action.

Exactly this, please remove the 500 krills requirement to chat.


@Swc_Poker : I sent an email to support but havent heard back from you, please check. Two emails in fact because you havent reply 24 hours after I sent the first one

[famososMuertos]

There are at least five events that I can play safely without affecting my bankroll that I have assigned to SwC POKER to try to hit something and calmly play a 4-figure buyin.

The event #30/#42 with a buy-in 1000 chips for a guaranteed $75,000/$50,000  / looks pretty.

Thank you, this is correct. There is no mininum number of events needed to qualify for the leaderboard. Prizes will be paid to the 10 players with the most points at the conclusion of the series. Leaderboard standings will be updated and posted nightly to track your position. You can also receive a 1.5x bonus on points earned in events by registering for them before the start time.

If you have yet to receive a reply and have checked your email spam folders, you can send a PM to this account with your email address and support will investigate.
