BTC SwC Poker is the original and one of the best crypto poker sites – it’s a pure online poker experience. There are no other types of gambling available, so there are no annoying casino ads or emails advertising a sportsbook.
Software
You can download native apps for Android, Mac, and Windows or you can play in the browser, which is the easiest and most convenient option. The main advantage of downloading the client on your computer rather than playing in the browser is that you get great multi-table management in tile or cascading layouts.
The Android app is fine. Its mostly just the big screen version but shrunk down to a smaller screen. This means the options and controls on the tables are a bit cramped and cluttered. Some of the options and features from the big screen versions are missing, for example customizable table, background and card colors.
You can not find the Android app in the Playstore, you have to go to the SwC Poker website and download it from there. You might have to change your security settings to install the app but it’s easy to do.
Rake
SwC Poker has very low rake – 0%-3% of cash games and 2%-6% for tournaments. It’s then possible to get up to 50% rakeback through the loyalty program.
Range of Tables
SwC Poker has a massive range of tables, with loads of tables including (but not limited to):
Only the no limit hold’em tables up to 0.05 m฿/0.1 m฿ have action 24/7. However a wider range of tables have action at peak times.
SwC Poker has the biggest tournaments of any crypto site. The BIG BTC runs on the last Sunday of every month with a 500 m฿ prize. The Medium BTC runs every Sunday with a 150 m฿ prize. Both are standard no limit hold’em format.

Overall
SwC Poker is a wonderful, hardcore, crypto poker site. It has good software, low rake, some of the biggest tournaments in the industry and a wide range of games.
The other crypto poker sites listed here also have sportsbooks and casino games. Unless you specifically want those features then their absence on SwC Poker is a positive because it means no distractions, just poker in all its glory!
hm
what referral code i should write at signup?
BitAce
Our referral code is “yeh-nah-yeh” but I think as long as you sign through clicking a link on this site you should be tagged correctly. Good luck!

BitAce
The app has been re-made since your comment, so it is probably much faster now. I found it fast enough 🙂
