Do you have an ETA for fixing the bug that's causing cash games to be overraked? If a player leaves the table before a hand is complete, that player's contribution to the pot disappears and goes to the house instead of to the winner, which is effectively overraking all cash tables (and depending on the stakes, sometimes by quite a lot) and giving players a disincentive to play ring games.

I appreciate that resources are being deployed to making the website multilingual, but I would like to see some of the more serious issues solved before new, superficial features are added. In the era of Google Translate, I doubt that the lack of a multilingual website is preventing non-English speaking players from using SWC. 

Is there any plan in place to compensate players that lost money as a result of being in overraked hands or an estimate of how many bitcoins have been diverted to the house as a result of this bug?

Thank you for the well written post.
We are deploying a fix to this bug with our next restart.
We had thought to have fixed this, but after a subsequent patch was applied it seems to have come back.
We will preform a full audit and deposit chips automatically to player accounts that were affected.
Note that this is a rare issue, as most players finish the hand while still active.




To Whom it May Concern:

It has been in excess of four months since SWC claims to have discovered the software bug that misappropriated player funds for the first 2+ years that the site was running.  Not only have SWC not yet refunded those chips, but also, they have not officially notified their player base that they took them in the first place.

Glitch has written a script that reviews user hand history and from that can determine the amount of chips that disappeared from pots, but he has not released it publicly.  After speaking with several high stakes ring players, it's become pretty clear that the amount due is very high.

Is SWC insolvent?  Would it bankrupt the site to repay stolen funds?  Some players have begun to boycott playing on SWC because of the issue.  Aside from tournaments and some micro stakes, nothing runs on the site at all anymore.

Several other software problems have come up over the years, most of which have never been corrected.  SWC seems to be a deliberately running itself into the ground.  Please reply in earnest to this message, SWC.  Your track record is one of timetables not met and promises not kept.  Is our money ever going to be refunded?

Yours truly,
Kook
