Introducing 
, the first official Steem business and funding mechanism of BROSGN – the Blockchain Rewards Optimized Sports and Gaming Network!
What is BRO-Rando?
The
account is a random-voting “bid” bot. The voting bot has the standard ten rounds of bids and voting per day. But instead of voting based on the size of the bid paid in a given voting round, will issue randomly generated vote percentages to users who will only pay a flat fee.
Why BRO-Rando?
The popularity and fun of
, the original random-voting bid bot, inspired the creation of !
We wanted to make bot voting fun again, so we decided to create a bot with all of the fun of randomized lottery-like voting, but limit downtime to only occasional maintenance, if necessary. This can be accomplished with the standard design of the bid bot voting rounds which keeps the voting account within the daily allotted vote target (10) dictated by Steem blockchain protocols.
We also created

How does the BRO-Rando voter work?
As stated above, the
voting bot accepts a flat-rate “bid” from each of its users in a given voting round. Once a voting round closes, will send out its votes in random percentages to all posts in the given round.
Because the vote percentages are randomized, we want to be very clear that some votes may return less value than the fee paid by users.
But keep in mind that, on the other hand, some votes may return a higher value than the fee paid by users.
That’s the fun of
To help understand the process and what users can expect from
1. There is a limit of 50 post submissions per round. This will help limit any loss of value for the average user of the bot while simultaneously provide a better chance of receiving higher-value returns.
2. There will be a low voting percentage limit in place. This will also mitigate losses for the average user. The current lower limit is 1%.
3. Users are limited to three (3) submitted posts per day. Any links submitted for the same account beyond the three daily posts will result in rejection and a refund of the submission fee.
4. The voting bot will use the universal blacklist. Any user on that list who submits a link will have their submission rejected and they will be refunded. If any user on that list has one of their posts submitted by another account, it will be rejected and the submitting user will be refunded.
5. Only parent posts can be submitted and they must be submitted within 72 hours of posting. The voting bot will not vote on comments or any posts that are more than three (3) days old. Submitted comments and old posts will be rejected and the user will be refunded.
6. The flat fee for submissions will be based on the value of the maximum 50 votes per round. The current fee will be published on the

8. The voting bot will never confiscate funds in the event of a rejected submission. However, once votes have been made, refunds will not be granted unless a vote from

BRO-Rando’s 10-20-30 Pledge
The goal for BRO-Rando is to provide a means for indefinite development funding of the BRO Sports and Gaming Network™. BROSGN’s ultimate goal is to be a viable, global, blockchain-based business, media, and community network built around sports and gaming. To help achieve these goals, we are establishing a 10-20-30 Pledge for revenue generated from
submission fees.
Periodically,
10% of liquid STEEM will be burned by being sent to 
20% of liquid STEEM will be powered up to
30% of liquid STEEM will be allocated to ongoing BROSGN development.
This 10-20-30- Pledge will continue indefinitely. If any changes to this pledge should become necessary in the future, a 30-day notice will be given to the community. But at this time, we do not anticipate any changes.
The remaining revenue will be divided between the account owners and used at their discretion.
