[SWCPoker] Bitcoin poker
Edit/MH: Posts moved from old Seals With Clubs thread.

Update on Seals site.
TL;DR: SealsWithClubs will not come back with his current team, you gotta withdraw. Micon will start swcpoker.eu with that new software though.

Edit/MH:
... is there a guide or some step-by-step advice for someone who is a complete bitcoin noob, but wants another option to play some poker in the US?
Logical question. No one is born knowing this stuff. Standby...
- create an account at swcpoker. no ID required. email address required
- play freerolls
- download a free Bitcoin wallet, Electrum or Multibit
- look at localbitcoins.com for a dealer near you. pay cash
- and/or sign up with ID and bank account to buy bitcoins at at circle.com or coinbase.com
- avoid sending Bitcoins directly to/from circle or coinbase, send to your wallet first, they like to avoid "gambling" sites, don't force them
after you do it, you will feel like a genius
The site seems to be incredibly cheap. They don't do anything for their regulars who paid tons of rake. They had a 500+ krill freeroll The other day and they only gave 15 minutes to register and only five minutes of late registration. All that was at stake was two 500 chip tickets and they still got about 60 entries in that short time. Why isn't the registration time the same as every other tournament for like hours before it and hours of late registration? Why don't they do any type of tournaments for people with like 10k krill?
I also don't understand why it has to take so long to withdraw from a bitcoin site. Sometimes withdrawls take 24 hours to be approved. I'm not talking about the speed of the bitcoin network I'm talking about approving the withdrawal to start the transaction.
