Useful info for sure.
And I agree.
There isn't much point to hassle with bitcoin gambling if you can do it for real money. I suppose the fast/easy cashouts can be a plus, but the downside is that the site doesn't have much traffic, plus you have to deal with the bitcoin-to-cash exchange, which isn't trivial, especially if you're not a bitcoin fanatic.
Some US players like SWCpoker (and the former Seals) because they can get quick cashouts. Bovada is actually very quick with cashouts, too, but that isn't widely known. Merge and the others suck.
But anyway, anything short of a complete SWCpoker shutdown as part of a plea bargain would be a huge fail on the part of the Nevada government.
