Hmmmmm.

The 2 "winning" accounts are both baby seals nobody ever really saw playing before. Basically new accounts with almost no history.

SWC users in the chat are having a bad taste in the mouth about this and I can totally understand. This will be a topic in the chat for while now, I just checked it in and they were still talking.
Would not be surprised if we never saw these 2 accounts again on the site, I wonder why. 


PS: @ pawel

It's called being the bigger man and end things, guess you never heard about that.
Well, you know about class, 2 direct insults in 1 post.

You can play me HU 5 card OMAHA or BigO if you really want to "bet" on something. Bet on your skills. Anyway, you insults are ignored now, if you want to setup a game write on TG, if not, I couldn't care less.

Enjoy your life. Will not address you in this thread any further since all you want to do is argue and fight. We both have better things to do, at least I do. Ignored.

Well, sounds a little suspicious, to be honest. I understand why it's a topic in the chat, it takes a lot of luck for this to happen to someone who is just starting... but it's not impossible. It's gambling after all. And Poker especially has those crazy twists, like in this "BadBeat" hand, aces vs kings, and crazy flop for both.

By the way, there's just an image on Twitter... it seems to me that we could see the replay of that hand before, or I mixed something up. It would be nice to see the replay.

You are right, everything could happen at any moment.

Though regulars playing for years and 2 total newbie accounts are both involved in the deciding hand, these odds are quite small to be honest. I mean both!

Let's see if they will ever be seen again or both just disappear.

About the replay, all I see is a screenshot on twitter, didn't see a video of it, now or in the past.

RE: Recent Rake Increase, April 2023

I understand that the increase or decrease in rake caps is may be necessary due to a dramatic rise or fall in the price of Bitcoin, but a change in the rake percentage represents a huge fundamental change in SWC rake policy.  A change in the percentage has nothing to do with a change in the price of Bitcoin.  Can you please explain why you are making these changes to the rake percentages?

The archived SWC rake is here: https://swcpoker.club/old-rake

I will post a few examples of the changes made to SWC rake policy

NL PL Games:

10/20 and under April 2023 to present: 5%
25/50 and up April 2023 to present: 4.5%
-------------------------------------------------
10/20 and under Jan 2021 to April 2023: 4%
25/50 and up Jan 2021 to April 2023: 3.6%
-------------------------------------------------
Too many rake changes from Aug 2020 to Jan 2021 to mention
There was a lot of confusion by SWC team regarding how to make changes
This is when the 1st fundamental shift in rake percentage policy takes place
A lot of very angry players
-------------------------------------------------
10/20 and under Nov 2018 to Aug 2020: 2.5%
25/50 to 500/1000 Nov 2018 to Aug 2020: 2.5%
-------------------------------------------------
I looked around the internets and found an old rake chart from SWC in 2016 where the NL/PL rake was 2.5% for all stakes.

As you can see from the no limit and pot limit rake changes listed above, over the course of approximately 3 years the rake percentage has doubled.  Why?  The limit games rake percentage has also increased substantially.  I will post regarding those separately.


Here is a quote from SWC 2019:

Bitcoin fluctation price should not affect to rake. Rake is paid based on a % of the pot so the price of bitcoin in $ have no relation..

We don't adjust rake %, only the cap. If we never changed the rake cap and bitcoin increased significantly we would no longer have the lowest rake in the industry. The inverse is true when the price falls, if we didn't raise the cap we wouldn't make enough to pay our bills.

Most players won't ever notice these changes because SwC is committed to always offer games with rakes much lower than the industry.

What happened to SWC in 2020?  Can you please justify this dramatic shift in policy?

Oh wow, I didn't see there was another rake increase yesterday. Thanks for pointing that out!
20-25% more rake is ...... , well I don't even find words.

This time they raised the % AND the cap, what a greedy move.

Even before the raise they were by far not the lowest rake in the industry after all those rake increases in the past.

Raising the rake/or cap would only make sense ( be necessary for swc as a company ) of the price of bitcoin goes down and the earnings are not enough anymore.But even then it's not an argument to explain rake increases with the change of bitcoin price. One thing has nothing to do with the other.

Guess they will loses 2 or 3 players of the 200 people player base now.

Dear SWC,

The stud games were being raked even if they didn't get to 4th street.  I see this has been fixed.  When will we be receiving refunds for this?

Dear SWC,

They recently created a telegram group for these kind of questions and requests. Plenty of other people already voiced it there.
It shows the message when you login into your swc account, if it doesn’t show anymore here is the name of the telegram group: @swc_support

They are really fast in addressing players concerns, you should give it a shot.

It's been 3 weeks. When will I be getting a refunds for this?  Some players have claimed they have gotten refunds for this already.  Why haven't I? Why are you not responding here?

Instead of complaining you should read my reply above. They are not really active here.
You should contact them via their telegram support group, that's why they made this group to they can replay and deal with player's problems fast.

Don't expect a reply here, message them on tg and send them an email.

Still no refund. Still no response here either.

Who here is excited for the Bitcoin Series of Poker 2023? https://swcpoker.club/posts/bitcoin-poker-tournaments/2023-bitcoin-series-of-poker-5-btc-guaranteed

I sure wanna win a bracelet.

$10,500 guaranteed for the main event, not too shabby at all

It looks ok.
In my opinion it's still to NLH heavy, would love to see more mixed games as more tournaments of all the Omaha variants.
1 good thing though, happy to see they added 2 drawmaha tournaments, even if one is only a 15$ one.

Most tournaments have 3-4 rebuys, which is a bit too much I think. I know often enough at other sites you have unlimited rebuys but I prefer freezeouts or 1, max 2, rebuys.

Let's see if we find some overlays, with the rebuys and long late registration periods I doubt it though.

Haha I could guess your screen name in 3 guesses probably. You mixed omaha player scandis are pretty tough these days

I agree that there probably won't be overlays, though maybe in the high roller or heads up championship with no late reg

The worse would be if tourneys don't even run. I like to late reg but if i see one isn't going cuz not enough entrants to run I'll hop in. The mixed ones are probably in more danger of this.

Truly is a good start and something to build from, past tourney series have been decent but this really has a lot of good guarantees overall. And they do seem to have the tourney players.

Can't wait for the drawmaha and nl 2-7 events

And the 12 game championship is mine. Come at me

[ronaldo1223]

Haha, norivernocry was gonna be one of the guesses. Also I'm in your list, hehe.

Only 1 more day!!
