RE: Betting Games on Steemit Need Rules

in #steemsports8 years ago

How would the community know if cheating is occurring? Without transparency, it is near impossible for an independent audit to determine if the host is taking advantage of people and the system. Sheer speculation without unbiased facts, causes more drama.

I am not recommending regulations, as that requires an authoritative body to enact and enforce. I am talking about a community standard of expectation, which we do all the time in Steemit. For example, plagiarism is frowned upon by the Steemit community, even though the tool allows it. We have created a community standard and even developed tools and behaviors which detects and enforces this expectation. Why not the same for these games where the host is stating it will be fair to all players, which is an underlying premise for people to play/vote?
