So it looks like swc did exactly what they said they were gonna do: process the refunds in a matter of days.
I'm very happy to receive my 279 chips (most were from the 200/400 days back in '15 I presume).
While they may seem non-corporate, understaffed at times, and I'm guessing they're playing as hard as they're working, it's hard not to root for the antithesis of the calculating, greedy sites that permeate the online landscape. They stand for everything AmayaStars seems to stand against (for better and for worse).
None of us owe them shit for handling this. Not even a thank you. Poker is not a team sport or a team business, but I certainly hope that with all the rec players looking for a place to gamble while they are watching football, we can at least point them in swc's direction. BTC is in the mainstream now as we all have realized from our co-worker/cousin/parents/baby's mamas asking about it. Fucking Floyd Mayweather is promoting ICO's. BTC-only should thus no longer be a deterrent for these recs.
They have always honored their word. They have the lowest rake around and a tablestarter element to help get games going. They offer games nobody else does, from the smallest of micros to the highest of nosebleeds, and in almost any variant you can imagine.
Hope to see you all at the tables with our unexpected early Xmas presents. Cheers and thank you swc!
