SwC Poker is one of the first bitcoin poker rooms which started to operate more than 5 years ago. The poker room is based on local uBTC chips where 1 chip = 1uBTC, while 1,000,000 chips = 1BTC. In general, during active hours, the room (evening/night European time) shows up to 250-300 active players.

The room offers different variations of poker: NLH, PLO, Short Deck, OFC, 5-Card etc. However, the main emphasis in this room should be made on HU which is available at stakes from 1/2 to 2k/4k, as well as in the HU SnG format. In addition, there is a small grid of MTT tournaments with freerolls and regular tournaments with small guarantees.

The design of the site is made in 8-bit style but the lobby which is available for a browser game, as well as for playing via iOS and Android devices, is quite convenient. SwC Poker supports HUD and multi-tabling. The layouts are also nice and has some basic customization options.

Cashier

Since SwC Poker is a bitcoin room, deposits and withdrawals here are made through cryptocurrencies. Fortunately, it is not only BTC at the moment, but also LTC, ETH, USDT and other coins.

Bad Beat Jackpot
You can always find the jackpot data at the top of the lobby. It is drawn at special BBJ Hold'em tables marked in yellow. Keep in mind that the rake at these tables is 25% higher than usual. When you win, the jackpot is paid out as follows:
35% to the player who lost in the hand;
20% to the winner of the hand;
15% is shared among all other players who participated in the distribution;
10% goes as rake.

Freerolls at SwC
Freerolls at SwC Poker take place every half an hour. Freeroll winners get a small amount of chips that can be used at micro-limit cash tables where there is virtually no rake!

Krill leaderboard
The top 10 best grinders of the room will share up to 5000 chips each week. The TOP-15 of the leaderboard will compete for a prize of 15,000 chips every month! Weekly leaderboards are held from Monday to Sunday, and monthly leaderboards are held from the first to the last day of the month.

No Rake Microstakes.
These micro-limit tables can be found in the NLH and PLO lobbies, and their main feature is that they are rake-free. The Run It Twice feature is also available at these tables.
You can get to these tables by winning chips in the freeroll which in theory allows you to start playing for real money without a single investment.

KRILL REWARDS PROGRAM and rake system

Players generate Krill Points every time they play a hand for real money.
The Krill calculation is as follows:
Each player participating in the raked hand will receive Krill based on the calculation:

BTC Games: √(rake) * 0.4 / (number of participating players)
BCH Games: √(rake) * 0.04 / (number of participating players)

Each player in the hand receives the same amount of Krill, regardless of their contribution to the pot. Each registered player in a tournament or SnG will receive Krill based on the following calculation:

BTC games: √(entry fee) * 0.4
BCH Games: √(entry fee) * 0.04

At the same time, the rakeback system is capable of giving up to 50% return at the maximum level and includes up to 16 levels of the VIP program!
