It's a pain in the ass, but to run a legit game you gotta take the time to do it. I had to pay a couple hundred to stop it on my site so I had time to inspect each account applying to play versus trying to catch them after they were already on the poker server.

I've heard of some games going on now where the only player is the guy running the game with his bots and people upvote the game post and he just splits the rewards among his own sockpuppets.

There are so many games on Steemit now, we really need to start cleaning them up and policing them ourselves better and calling out the games that are abusing the system.

Making a statement that you're doing everything you can to keep it clean goes a long way in the long run.
