Part of me believes that this can easily be used for money laundering or insider trading.

Anyone want to guess the legality of this? This is very far away from Twitch plays pokemon.

It doesn't look like there's any payout, nor a requirement to buy in to play. I don't see a way for any laundering to happen.

As for insider trading, it's a collective voting game. I don't see a way to increase the value of one's vote, so I can't imagine it ever falling afoul of insider trading.
