Why would I steal your money if I keep 5% of the money coming from new members and 5% of the money coming from the lottery?
Classic excuse going on for sometime now. The whole pot is much more than the 5% you take. Plus on other hand you are a newbie. So it becomes hard to believe when you say that you will take only 5% when you can get the 95% as well. With those two big red flags no one would trust and obviously see it as a scam attempt.
I wonder what would happen if there is not much new members or perhaps no new members? Also you could also fake details regarding new members and can display you are not getting enough from new members.
Good Job @Harkorede
