Full SwC Poker reviewEvent overview
The Bitcoin Series of Poker (BSOP) is SwC Poker's flagship online tournament festival — a multi-week schedule of NLHE, PLO and mixed-game events, all denominated in Bitcoin and paid out on-chain.
As the original Bitcoin-native poker room (founded 2011), SwC is the only major site where BSOP buy-ins, prize pools and satellite tickets are all quoted in BTC (typically shown as mBTC). Every knockout, min-cash and headline finish is settled straight to your Bitcoin balance — no fiat rails, no bank days, no KYC for standard play.
BSOP pairs a headline Main Event with a full ladder of daily satellites and mixed-game side events. It's the marquee series for the Bitcoin poker community and the best place all year to play deep-stacked BTC tournaments against a global, anonymous field.
Series highlights
Headline NLHE Main with a multi-BTC guarantee. Deep starting stacks, generous late reg, prize pool paid on-chain.
Full festival schedule spanning No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha and mixed-game bracelet-style events.
Micro-stakes BTC satellites feed every headline event. Ladder up from a few mBTC to a direct Main Event seat.
Cashouts land after standard Bitcoin confirmations — usually minutes, not hours or days.
No name at the table and no ID documents for standard play. Opponents can't HUD-track you across sessions.
Every BSOP hand earns toward SwC's Krill Rewards tiered rakeback program — enter code rakeback52 at signup.
