Statement on how SwC Poker will handle the August 1st Bitcoin Cash fork:

https://swcpoker.eu/august-1-bitcoin-cash-fork/

In anticipation of upcoming disruptions on the Bitcoin network, SwCPoker will be temporarily pausing all deposits and withdrawals on August 1st at 8:00 UTC.

On August 1st at 12:20 UTC, Bitcoin Cash will fork away from the Bitcoin network. At that time, games will be paused and a snapshot of player balances will be taken. Deposits and withdrawals will be re-enabled as soon as possible, at a time we deem safe. We expect this to be less than 12 hours after the event, but it will depend upon the stability of the Bitcoin network.

SwCPoker does not endorse Bitcoin Cash, and will remain a Bitcoin poker site, however we will allow players the opportunity to withdraw the Bitcoin Cash derived from their Bitcoin balance. The process for Bitcoin Cash withdrawals will be announced shortly after August 1st.

At the point these fork, whoever is holding the BTC will have both BTC and BCC. So if you don't cash out and get your money in a client where you have control of the private key, you won't be able to access the BCC that is connected to the original BTC.

So if you have a wallet with your own private key, once the split happens you will have the identical amount of both BTC and BCC where it splits off the chain.

If it's in someone else's control, you won't.
