SWC isn't new. It's actually one of the oldest crypto poker platforms around. Although nobody can be sure if the platform's managment has remained the same throughout the years.
Oh, I thought it's a new project since it's a crypto platform. I personally never heard of it or saw any announcement from them in the forum before. Unfortunately, the whole project after all this time turned to a scam, it's also weird if the first team intentions where to create a legit crypto platform, something that might change the whole game of crypto poker platforms. I feel like this platform has changed management and the second team failed in gathering a good amount of players to keep it alive, which pushed them to do a selective scam and survive.
Honestly, for someone who wants to enjoy poker with crypto deposits, we have plenty choices nowadays with popular casinos like Stake, Bc.game, 1win and many others, these platforms are legit and safe for all players.
