Yeah, I'd be willing to contribute a few sats if we needed to make up the difference.

I may have been a bit into the whiskey last night typing my response, but I am a bit stuck on the idea that SN or Nostr could be used for community competitions such as this. Where perhaps you zap your payment/entry fee into a verified/escrow/multisig account, the entry fee is lowered or completely zero, and then a low fee is applied to the winner distributions only. I think Blockchain.poker was legal since it was community members putting up the prize money and not a centralized entity, so anyone can create a game/competition and anyone can join. That could bring more users to the site/increase engagement and fee generation for SN, plus a larger fee reward pool for users. Idk, I just like gambling/competitions and I like the idea of it being more personal/social than gambling on some sportsbook.
