Currency Simplification
The 
While Steem Dollars (SBD) are very convenient to use due to their approximate peg to the USD, Steem Dollars are largely illiquid right now and won't make sense for mass adoption of outside users willing to play with large sums of money. Creating utility for STEEM is a better strategy as this will help increase demand for and ultimately support the price of STEEM.
It is for these reasons that we decided to simplify our PAY PLAYS pools with the single currency of STEEM. We are also looking to implement USD overlays which will allow users to identify the market value of their Steem Plays and wallet values at a glance.
We furthermore invite you, the Steem community, to play our games with STEEM to help build the game pools and engagement to make our platform attractive to the outside market. Manual Play options are also available if you prefer not to use your active key on the web-app, and memo instructions can be found when you select your outcome.
Our short term goal is to build an active client base organically to 100 users, starting with the Steem community and branching out from there. Once we have some traction, we can start properly marketing the steemsports.com web-app in the media.
VIP FAN Zone
On Discord chat we have created a VIP FAN-Zone channel, our team will be actively inviting winners of our games to join the FAN ZONE and participate in fun sports discussions and building a global sporting community around Steem. We will be in touch with you soon with invites.
Wallet Balance Now Visible on the UI
Our dev team has added the ability for customers to view their wallet balances right on the web-app games page, so customers can immediately see how much they have to play with. See below screenshot:
Blocktrades Integration
To use this feature, users need only click on the '+' (plus) icon next to the above-mentioned Steem wallet balance on the game page and the Blocktrades API window will appear as shown below, users will then be given a wallet address to transfer the selected Digital Currency to for the conversion and top-up.
For simplicity, Fred, has filtered out some of the less popular Digital Currencies from the standard Blocktrades app and I have requested he add back Steem and SBD for fast conversion between the two on our web-app rather than having to do so in the Steemit wallet GUI or Cli wallet.
Front-end Overhaul
And finally, yes ... WE WANT YOUR STEEM ... so come play SteemSports Pay Plays and help us build utility and demand for Steem, let us make Steem great together!
Sincerely,
