You guys should know that our main objective in gambling is to play and try our lucks, this is what I would have loved to be seeing only, anything other than it is secondary. There is room for any other updates and innovations provided they are optional and beneficial, and in this case, all that you are discussing are not mandatory (clan wager), so we can bypass it to go for what we want in their service. There are some strict players with their core value for gaming alone even without distractions of upgrades (new features), they should go for that as nothing is mandatory here.
Sometimes "fun" could be interpreted this way as well. Doesn't mean that it would result with more fun, but the aim is exactly that. If you have a team that is working towards having more stuff that helps you have more fun, then it is good.
Gambling is all about fun, because there are many things in life that you could have fun with, and gambling is one of them and if you know what you are doing then you should be fine with any new addition that is aiming at this. I personally believe that clans could end up being fun, or maybe it won't be but at least they are trying to make it more fun, and that is a good noble approach by the team, rest is all up to you.
