well, you have to take into account that sports betting was just introduced and people were waiting impatiently for that. So apparently they just want to gamble and play.
Maybe so but you could also read some previous comments about treating sports bettors as second class citizens. I also tried to promote Betfury sports but with little to no incentive (until you ranked up), I personally doubt many of my gambling peers would play here. The only advantage I see is that they implemented both BSC and Tron for USDT.
(you're not mining with sports)
That's pretty clear in the announcement and with what I already said.
