SWC Poker Referral Code & No Deposit Bonus
Using a referral or bonus code when you register at SWC Poker can unlock extra rewards. This page explains how referral and promo codes work, what “no deposit” means on a Bitcoin poker site, and how you can benefit from freerolls and the Krill program without depositing first.
What Is an SWC Poker Referral Code?
A referral code (or promo code) is a short string you enter during registration at SWC Poker. It links your new account to the person or site that shared the code. Referral codes are used for tracking in affiliate programs: when you sign up via a partner’s link or code, they may receive a commission based on your activity, and you may get access to bonus offers or promotions that the partner has arranged.
SWC Poker runs an affiliate program. Affiliates get a unique referral link and often a bonus code to share. If you register through that link or enter the code when signing up, your play may be attributed to that affiliate. Some partners advertise specific bonus codes (e.g. for rakeback or extra Krill); the exact benefit depends on the current promotion. Always check the official SWC Poker site and the partner’s terms to see what is on offer.
You do not need a referral code to create an account or play. Registration only requires an email address. If someone gave you a code or you found one on a review site, you can enter it during sign-up if there is a field for it. If you skip it, you can still play normally—you just won’t be linked to that referrer.
How to Use a Referral or Bonus Code
Referral and bonus codes are applied at registration. Follow these steps to use one when creating your SWC Poker account:
- Go to the official SWC Poker website and open the registration or sign-up page.
- Enter your email address and choose a username and password as requested.
- If there is a field for “referral code”, “promo code”, or “bonus code”, paste or type the code there. Not all registration forms show this field; it depends on how you reached the site (e.g. via an affiliate link may pre-fill the code).
- Complete registration and confirm your email if required. Once your account is active, any bonus or promotion tied to the code will apply according to the site’s rules.

Krill Rewards and Rakeback
Krill is SWC Poker’s loyalty currency. You earn Krill when you are dealt into raked hands in cash games and in certain tournament play. The more you play, the more Krill you accumulate. Krill can be exchanged for real benefits: rakeback (a percentage of the rake you pay returned to you), access to exclusive freerolls, and other rewards. The exact rates and tiers are published on the official SWC Poker site and may change over time.
Some referral or bonus codes are tied to enhanced Krill earning or rakeback. For example, a partner might offer “X% rakeback for life” or “bonus Krill on sign-up” for players who use their code. If you have such an offer, use the code at registration as described above. If you are unsure what a specific code gives, contact the partner who gave it to you or check SWC Poker’s promotions page.
Even without a referral code, all players earn Krill by playing. So you can still build up Krill and unlock rakeback and freerolls; a code may simply give you a better starting deal or extra rewards from a partner.
Freerolls: Play Without Depositing
SWC Poker runs freerolls—tournaments with no buy-in. You can register for these as soon as you have an account; you do not need to deposit first. Prize pools are small (e.g. 50–100 microBTC per event) but paid in real Bitcoin-denominated chips. That means you can build a balance from freerolls and then use it for cash games or withdraw it once you meet the minimum withdrawal (500 chips).
Freerolls are a form of “no deposit” play: you are not risking your own funds to enter. They run on a schedule (e.g. hourly at :30 past the hour, ET). Check the tournament lobby on the site or client for the current schedule and late registration rules.
No Deposit Bonus: What It Means on SWC Poker
On many fiat poker sites, “no deposit bonus” means the operator gives you a small amount of play money or bonus cash when you register, without requiring a deposit. On SWC Poker, there is no traditional fiat currency; everything is in Bitcoin. The site does not advertise a classic “no deposit bonus” in the sense of free chips credited automatically on sign-up. Instead, the “no deposit” angle is covered by freerolls: you can play real tournaments for free, win real chips, and use or withdraw them without ever depositing.
If a review or affiliate site claims an “SWC Poker no deposit bonus”, they may be referring to these freerolls, or to a partner-specific offer (e.g. bonus Krill or a ticket) that does not require you to deposit. Always read the terms and the official SWC Poker site to see the current offers.
Referral and Bonus FAQ
Do I have to use a referral code to play?
No. A referral code is optional. You can register with just your email and play without entering any code. Codes are for linking your account to an affiliate or for claiming a partner’s bonus offer.
Where do I enter the referral code?
If the registration form has a field for “referral code”, “promo code”, or “bonus code”, enter it there when you sign up. If you came via an affiliate link, the code may already be applied. You usually cannot add a code after registration.
Can I get a no deposit bonus?
SWC Poker does not offer a standard “no deposit bonus” of free chips on sign-up. You can, however, play freerolls without depositing and win real chips. That is the main way to play with no deposit.
