SwC Poker is a well established, low rake, highly trusted Bitcoin poker room. Launched from the ashes of SealsWithClubs in early 2015, SwC Poker is one of the few "Pure Bitcoin" poker sites, which means all deposits, play, and withdrawals are in Bitcoin. "No banking, only Bitcoin" is the slogan. Each Bitcoin is divided into 1,000,000 chips so the site can spread a wide range of table limits. SwC P[...] Read more » Introducing SwC Poker

It is a site with the only currency available the bitcoin. Not too many sites out there like that. The btc has dropped way too low, and the predictions for rapid growth at the end of the year were false. Wonder what will happen this year. The site gives a no deposit bonus, so good luck to all the ones, that will try to build btc

They have some more exotic versions of poker on offer, like Badugi, but their player base is very very low. So at the moment not a room for cash game players. While having Bitcoin as an option is nce, i am not to fond of rooms, that have no other payment option available

A lot of benefits in this new poker room. You buy bitcoin and you can play with little or no rake at low stakes. SwC Poker has many things that favor the players and that is a good thing. Freeroll games will also be present but someone has to tell us, if they can be played free ( without deposit ) or you are forced to make a deposit. I would try this room for a few games to see how it is because i do not have the option to play real money, until a license is paid by SwC Poker.

Bitcoin only sites seem to be becoming very popular way of doing business. Given the volatility of bitcoin, it’s interestiñg that this is a solid base for any business venture. I guess the people in the know know what they are doing and are willing to take the risk . Good luck to all of you who join this service provider.

With Bitcoin they can escape the regulations some countries may have on transactions to gambling sites. Just remember the news about the russian ban on foreign gambling sites a few month ago. Without any fixed payment processor the governments have no one they could put pressure on. At least for the moment.

only yesterday 16 jan, did I hear about this site because Australians could use it. also PS will be coming back to australia soon as they own some betting sites now so no doubt will bring poker back through them, if not outright.
since its bitcoin and low number of users, It will be hard to see this site taking off since it hasnt already. bitcoin has cooled off considerably so doubt people would be jumping at this chance
------------ just been on triple8....they have rakeless tournaments - fairly new addition I think

Maybe if the bitcoin stars rising again. You never know what happens with all that crypto currency. It looks stable for quite some time now, between 3500 and 4000 USD. All it needs is a good race up. And if that happens, sites like this will be on fire again

If you want to reach a whole bitcoin from the freerolls, it is gonna take you a while You still 999998.1 short But if they allow, which i bet they do, cashing out less than a whole btc then you may get something sooner. But with current value of btc, is like you havent won a single thing Good luck

The low traffic is due to the fact they are operating with crypto coins only. But at some point it is better like that. If they are having guaranteed tournaments, then it may be better with less players in, according to the paid positions Good luck with your new bankroll.

Yeah, imagine you deposit one night five hundred bucks worth of crypto, playing there two weeks win a truckload and withdraw five hundred bucks still, cuz' the bitcoin nosedived while you played in there. lol

Currency fluctuations can hit you every time you have to play in a different currency than your own. Even in Euro vs US Dollar conversions this can be felt. Maybe not to such an extent as with cryptos, but it can still hurt your profit

Yea the rate changes between all currencies agreed. But none so far was so volatile as the bitcoin. The one moment you had a fortune, and the other you had lost it The ones that are playing in sites like this must be the ones holding their coins and not changing them in regular basis. There is too many of them still waiting for a rise

thanks anyway for the no deposit
