<h3>We are not against Gambling, Businesses, Crowdfunding etc...</h3>

But quite frankly, these voting-games, and third party voting-projects where people send in their active or posting-keys corrupts quickly, and defile the purpose of what the reward-pool should be used for.

<h3>Risk your own money and Win or Lose is the only right thing to do</h3>

So to facilitate Gambling on Steemit, I propose we put a ban on voting-games by forcing them to decline payout and force people who want to gamble with Steem or SteemDollars do so with money from their own wallet instead of draining large portions of the reward-pool every day which truly does nothing good for the majority of steemians or the platform itself. It only make the account-owner fatter as he is raking in 50% of the author-rewards every day - many times per day.

<h3>Steemit Long Term is more important then vote-games in Short Term</h3>

During the Presidential election, someone on Steemit facilitated a successful game like that - Bet on Hillary or Trump - send money to this account and put hillary or trump in the memo and may the winners win and the losers lose, and the winners won, and the losers lost - and it was over. And it worked.

<h3>With Great SteemPower comes great Responsibility</h3>

 So this is my proposal:

- We create a smart-contract for betting purposes,that facilitate payouts and rake for the game host opening up for everyone to host bets without technical knowledge on how to set up an accurate payout bot by having the system do it for you.
- We create a gambling section which cannot go on any trending pages but will be its own "gambling" section where everything is settled correctly after the games are over and the winners get paid by the losers minus the rake set by the game-host (should be 2% to 10%)
- This will create more competition and a guarantee for the gamblers that the "house" is playing by fair transparent rules.
- A complete ban on using VOTES as a method of payment for gambling.

<h3>There will be a lot more MONEY in it for gamblers and hosts, and FAIR, as I don´t have to pay for it as an investor.</h3>
