SwC Poker continues to make a name for itself in the online poker market for continuing to be a no banking and Bitcoin only poker site. Launched in 2015, the online poker website is among a list of new gambling websites which have incorporated blockchain technology and allow the use of cryptocurrencies for withdrawal and deposit transactions.
Fromerly known as Seals With Clubs, SwC Poker has recently redesigned its lobby and spruced it up with fresh offerings such as Bad Beat Jackpot and a host of tournament satellites. Players can also now navigate easily between the website’s cash game, sit and go and tournament sections.
Cash Games, Tournaments, Freerolls
No major changes were made to SwC’s cash games, with a wide range of poker variants still available on the site such as Omaha, Hold’em and Studs. Users can also play Chinese Poker, including Open Face Chinese (OFC) and OFC 2-7, as well as Draw, Short Deck and Mixed games (HORSE, 8-Game, 11-Game, and Lowball).
SwC’s latest game Bad Beat Jackpot claims to gives players more chances of winning jackpots than any other poker websites out there and offers the lowest qualifying hand online. The jackpot fund is built without any additional rake above the normal amount. To play Bad Beat, users only need to join any Jackpot No Limit Hold’em table under the cash game section of the site.
The tournament schedule has been revamped with guaranteed events now running on a daily basis. There’s a new Big BTC Tournament taking place every month with regular satellites featuring low buy-ins and free entry to get a crack at the Big BTC Tournament. The poker room’s lobby has all the details players need to know regarding the many different ways to gain entry. The buy-in for the tournament is 10,000 chips or 0.01 bitcoin. The prize pool begins at 1,000,000 chips which correspond to 1 bitcoin.
Unlimited freeroll tournaments are also running on the site. Players can test the new platform without having to make a deposit. They can play for free whenever they want. The website offers 0 rakes for freeroll players who win a small number of chips. This makes SwC poker a perfect platform for the low-limit players who want to test their strategies and enhance their poker skills with little to no risk. This strategy is directly in line with SwC’s commitment to create a fun and healthy poker environment for players of all levels.

Players From All Over The World Welcome
Staying true to its promise of providing players the best online poker experience, SwC introduced an overhaul of the entire system recently and came out with the new “Bitcoin Poker 3.0” version.
SwC has adopted an entirely new backend architecture, allowing for a more stable, faster and user-friendly gameplay. The new software went through six months of alpha testing and had undergone beta testing for three months, during which a group of long-time SwC members were asked to provide their input and have their say on the website’s functionality.
Now, for the very first time, SwC can be played across four popular desktop application systems. Players may also download the app designed to run on several OS including Windows, Android and Mac. This makes the website more accessible to players anywhere they are. The download client provides players with the option to manage their tables and choose tile or cascading layouts.
SwC poker is available to players from all over the world and that includes US based players.

To maintain anonymity and confidentiality, SwC does not ask for any personal information from users upon registration. This ensures the protection of players’ identities, giving them the opportunity to enjoy playing without having to worry about data security. The online poker website only requires an email address to sign up.
For depositing and withdrawing funds, SwC offers two-factor authentication to ensure data protection. The website also has a system of spreading players’ funds to several high-security wallets. With the software’s enhanced collision detection tools, players can make sure they will not be cheated on by their opponents.
Customers can communicate via email for any queries or concerns, but the site has a dedicated chatbox and Twitter page for those who need urgent replies.
