RE: The Big Voting-Game CHANGE Proposal

[furion]

I'm happy to say that @steemsports is going to introduce 'Paid Plays' model shortly. Under this model, players cannot win by voting - but only by paying SBD/STEEM into the pool. The preview of our app is available at https://steemsports.com

@furion wow, that is GREAT news.
Continued Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Very happy to hear that @furion. Does that mean that the rewards for the bets will only come from the amount put forward for the bet, and the payouts from the posts will go towards the authors and editors and company? I think this will be great for everyone.

[furion]

Correct.

If all goes right, the first PayPlay game goes live this Friday. We believe this is a scalable model for the future.

oh good.

[whatsup]

Excellent

It's about time. Finally.

There seems to be something wrong here.

Our main value proposition for the Steem community is that we are one of the first apps to create direct demand for Steem and Steem Backed Dollars (SBD) through our recently developed “PAY PLAY” pool option. Our traditional “FREE PLAY” pool will remain as long as there is a demand for it and serves as a transition towards a mainly “PAY TO PLAY” prediction market web application to increase the utility of Steem.

You say one thing and @steemsports says another... Can you explain why what you proposed isn't being changed?

[furion]

We are initiating a transition towards PayPlay games, which is a scalable model for the future.

We would like to transition to purely paid model, however this change is gradual, so don't expect it over-night. There is quite a lot of demand and support for voting based games, and we will be phasing them out slowly as the PayPlay games gain momentum.
