I’m getting the sense that the site has lost a big chunk of traffic while looking at the lobby rn. What could have been... SWC missed an opportunity to build a BTC economy. If only it had focused on the micros and built the player base from there. It could turn out more solid and more sustainable imho.
This is the biggest issue. Constantly deciding not to add tournaments lower than 100 chips was a big issue. Give the player base a way to get their bankroll, and feed the upper limits. No site out there today doesn't cater to the micros. That feeds the higher limits.

After weeks of waiting and unanswered emails I finally got refunded today.
I am glad this got solved.
I am glad for you that this got resolved, but is still totally unacceptable and unprofessional for SWC. This should be a standard return of funds in this situation. Waiting weeks with no response is not the way to handle it. Did they actually respond to you? Wonder how many other players were in this situation but did not keep in them and lost out.

Where is support? I'm shocked half the post are still up in the other thread! Then they post tournament information directly below a post about not getting a response from them. It is very odd. Especially with them saying they needed to work on communication more. Another odd thing is that all their recent twitter posts have no replies, which they normally do. Not sure if you can disable those or not. Just seems like they went radio silent and are just posting automated tournament stuff now.
Do you mean like closing accounts and declining withdrawals to "get in contact" with people and have them agree to a list of demands, including "stop critique here", before reinstating the accounts of letting people withdraw Because that has happened atleast twice now.
I do. I would have people bring proof of that here if they give a shit. That's f'd up behavior. I have no problem with a company deciding to not allow a customer to play on their site and bad mouth them at the same time - Jon Little syndrome.
Out of curiosity how do you suggest SWC identify customers to be banned for behavior off site. This is a no dox forum, as is 2p2. SWC is a no dox poker site. How on earth can you connect a SWC account with one that is on this forum by any means other than pure speculation. In theory SWC accounts only belong to the email address associated with the account. Identifying users by devices used or the location of devices used is purely an educated guess, albeit very accurate but nonetheless just an assumption that the same person is on multiple accounts. Without dox, hypothetically you could even consider an AI to be human depending on how you define a human. And this is the conundrum that is SWC. They have adopted a new attitude and a new face to their brand in the last 6 months which has infuriated a huge percentage of their base yet they have no clear means of controlling who that base is because there are no dox. You would think if a company was in this position they would try to have an open line of communication with excellent customer service to attempt to keep something in control that has so many vulnerabilities. I often think SWC has no clue how much their users loved the community at SWC and the site itself. There wouldn't be all this backlash otherwise.
I do have a problem with them holding funds hostage, and I imagine most of the BTC. community would as well.
You might want to ask SWC about this in the main thread or email them. Proof is going to be rather hard to come by unless people post emails or screenshots. Neither of which are really proof of anything.
I saw this happen. The one time I was aware of was for locking the account not holding funds because of stuff said on here. I Don't know if the player directly referenced themselves in an event or by their name. SWC did comment though that it was locked to get their attention.

Thank you to our loyal players that understand how hard it is to run SwC Poker.
We see the complaining players are louder than the happy players that enjoy our bitcoin poker room but we will continue to build the site better and better.
2021 will be a great year for us with new features and improvements.
Thank you for the support!
HH, is this you?
this might be the most unprofessional response I've ever seen from a company. Your regular players are the only reason your site is still up and running right now. Your failed campaign to grow the site has only hurt you more with a loss of regular players. You as a company do not seem to understand what it takes to grow the site or maintain players, and instead resort to post like this showing that. The fact that you dropped the ball on your domain and have players coming back should make you consider yourself more than fortunate. The next concern should be if you're going to drop the ball on your Bitcoin wallet to pay player funds back. This response was such a slap in the face to all of your regular long time customers.

This is a horribly unprofessional response and should be deleted. This just reeks of higherhighs and his smug chat. Can't you find someone with more tact to deal with the customers on and off site? This would make your life so much easier.
It really does sound like HH, but wow this is such an unprofessional post. This is honestly why I do not want to patronize this site often. They don't get it that the people complaining are regs that have carried them on through the years. They have been promising updates and announcements for a year now and have nothing to show. They dropped the ball and lost their domain name and still got people to come back, which is crazy when you think about it. When are they going to drop the ball on their Bitcoin wallet and not be able to pay player funds. This site has only existed this long because of the regular players continue to come back. They're ongoing campaign to grow the site has failed miserably and has only costed them regular players that contribute to the site.

"Ok, so the rake % went UP and the leaderboard prize pool went DOWN. Am I getting this right?
There is something very wrong about what is happening here."
We need to bring more awareness to the players lounge. Are these two people coming in could find it if it gained more traction and be aware of the issues going on.

Can we adjust the krill earned formula to reward the players that are grinding so hard to maybe be able to achieve a decent amount of rakeback, please?!
Search for the Players Lounge forum if you want to discuss this with others as well. Your post will most likely get deleted here.
Haha, swcpoker dot com (not sure if you can include urls here) is available for $10,000. They do not even have that secured as a business which is mind-blowing. If they can't use EU I wonder what they'll use for a domain!?!?
If you remember April 15, 2011 (a.k.a. Black Friday), the FBI can seize a .com top level domain so there's no reason for SWC to register that one. But there are over 1000 others to choose from. Having at least one backup ready to go would probably be a good idea.

(from the player lounge thread)
Just checked and the domain now reroutes to Nitro! Aaaahahhahahahhaahahah. This is some next level trolling, fair play to them. I'd bet they have more budget for SEO aswell, wonder how long it'll take for that domain to show up first when you google SWC.
At this point, SWC should just sell to Nitro. Or maybe they already did.
GREAT start into 2021, SWC. Well played.

Is SWC still reachable via the old .eu email address?
I have been wondering this, too. Can we get manual withdrawals? Do you currently still have access to the data / player balances?
if that domain does not work that means the email addresses will not work either.

Yeah technically there are a lot of issues. When you buy in at tables the actually buyin always jumps to a number I didnt choose. Auto rebuy also often doesnt work for me. Also at some point if I play longer at a table folded cards are not shown anymore.
Also at some point I am not able to right click on other players for muting/adjusting colour/make notes.
Only thing I can do then is leaving the table and join again.
If they close for good, which I dont think will happen, its not really a loss. Tournaments are a joke, no traffic, chat bans, sngs pretty much not available, empty promises, slow or no support and the whole higherhighs and endthefed "are not working for us" but they are active players at the site thing.
Only good thing, weak ass players sometimes at omaha.
They're plating lies on transparent issues are what really stop me from liking the site, which is the HH thing definitely. Or claiming technical issues when that's not technically correct. They dropped the ball on that, they have had BTC wallet issues time to time as well which doesn't put a good sense of security in the site. They have proven they can't be trusted because they will blatantly lie about everything. They focus more on higher limits and not sustainability. No more 50 or 100 chip tournaments in rotation per HH, yet BTC is almost at $30K. Doesn't make sense, tournament management is horrible.

They may delete this soon but you should comment on the players lounge thread... This site is not stable and you should not keep your money on it, pull your funds ASAP if you can, that is my personal observation.
I wouldn't worry too much about that. It may be that the network is overloaded because it is now a new year. That wouldn't be so strange. I would try again tomorrow with logging in when you are awake. Think now is the time to sleep so you would not be clear anymore to be able to play poker properly.
WTF... The issues right now have nothing to do with site overload, Nice try though to save face... Whoever you are
