I just am leaving this here to caution people about generalizing eos as only for gambling when gambling dapps were just easy to make and sprung up first on ethereum as well and we had magicdice steem which just exit scammed so I hope people arent so biased against EOS....
Only 2 of the top 14 EOS dapps are for gambling, and heres the list from the above screenshot:
Https://stateofthedapps.com/rankings/platform/eos
it's been barely a year since EOS main net launch and it takes time to create dapps, many ethereum dapps already moved to EOS like its largest project effect.ai and I already have bought some on newdex as an eos token. All the big ethereum projects migrated to eos but ethereum never HAD any good projects, and i bet you cant even name one...
But steem and eos also dont have dapps that are very popular. Steem only has dapps that are even used because we have the same network of users for all the dapps so it's not like each dapp has its own unique users. Steem users just go from steem dapp to steem dapp using them once like actifit or drugwars and then never coming back. I stioped using @actifit when @achatinga revealed to me how they basically just RIP you off most of your post rewards in beneficiary rewards and that's just very sneaky. Just an example of how one if the most popular steep dapps actifit is just trash
Sure theres a few steem dapps like partiko I use everyday but partiko is a steem APP it's not really a dapp in the sense that eos or etethereum have dapps but it could be if they add steem engine with its smart contracts and provide a few other features... I love partiko but its doesnt have a daily volume and I don't think drugwars does either... just because people spend steem on partiko points or send drugwars app steem for whatever that doesnt count as volume, theres no decentralized tokens but there could be. Steem engine DOES have volume and actifit actually does have a token there but no one is trading it so the actifit "volume" on stateofthedapps.com along with most of the volume for steem dapps here is all bullshit...misleading and we steemians just arent keen on correcting sonething if it will make us look less impressive
Steem has enough powerful record breaking statistics on https://blocktivity.info but we cant act like the list of steem dapps are in the same league as the eos dapps... steem dapps are cute and eos dapps are serious... steem dapps could be more serious but theres no steem venture capital investment fund like eos has with Block.one and EOSVC and its 100 million And 1 billion dollar funds. In order to proceed and be taken seriously we must hear steem CEO @ned Scott announce the launch of a steem develolment fund with a clear goal of launching 100,000 dapps like ned ANNOUNCED last year.
Here is the site showing ALL blockchains ranked and steemians should be happy to see so many steem "Dapps" on top of this list, its saturated in steem dapps, but at what cost? And why doesnt @ned pay to educate and market the world with steem educational videos like Coinbase Earn for Steem? Where users can earn $2-$10 in free steem for watching some educational videos about steem, like they coinbase did for stellar lumens eos and a few other coins. https://stateofthedapps.com/rankings
Just remember steem can actually be launched on coinbase soon as we are the most requested coin on their Twitter after eos and that's been added already. So we have no competition left and steem will or should be next and then ned Scott can make a big announcement and relaunch steem without beta just in time to allow the world to Buy steem with fiat banker card using Coinbase... that will probably come with a coinbase earn deal where steem will be given away to people who watch educational videos and take a quiz about how steem works and this will help to get people realizing how steem works and why it is just as much of a blockchain as anything else and just because stake can be centralized the DPOS system doesnt have to be.
If bitcoin had witness voting based on bitcoin stake, people would see how "centralized" it is too... but with 20 witnesses steem splits up the power, even If one person can have multiple witnesses, usually people have to do a lot of work to run for a witness which prevents a cartel from trying to run all the witnesse but it is a valid concern as ned can just vote for whoever he wants as witness if he used @steem and @steemit stake to vote which he doesnt
Of course this question is at the heart of the eos identity debate and this idea of one person being able to only run one block producer with identity scanning via voice social media network is how they plan on making eos cartel resistant. It's all very cutting edge stuff that will determine the future of the human race and how we govern ourselves and distribute wealth in the future.

Even if it was all gambling it still a usecase. The real problem is the lack of any advertising out side of the crypto space. Dapps arnt even getting onto google play and no advertising they have no chance.
