Having been one of the top 20 players over the last 3 years on SWC.......I'm pretty upset about the table starter rakeback being over. Regardless of the rake, I at least liked to know that I was getting 50 percent back. It used to create fuller tables. Not sure any of those announcements will help the players (besides the cashouts under 20 chips).
I'm not sure that a 0.6 chip vig (~$11) on cashouts under 20 chips is a big win for any player except ender. It's ridiculous that the (free) minimum withdrawal is over $100 USD, full stop. Show me another site that charges for BTC cashouts.
