I am looking to setup a stake pool, where the SPO rewards are distributed based on rules defined on a smart contract. Any chances that we can set a smart contract to govern the SPOs rewards?  
(e.g. Give a certain address the right to claim x% from the rewards of the SPO’s rewards)

Looking for the same.  
Are there any examples to get going?

I don’t know of examples. The command `cardano-cli transaction build --withdrawal-script-file` would let delegators redeem their rewards according to the contract. It looks like `cardano-cli stake-address build` doesn’t support scripts yet, so you’d have to build the script address manually.

Although you could use a smart contract as a credential for this, the contract might need to be pretty elaborate or expensive if many addresses were involved. _It would also have to be tested very thoroughly on `testnet` before even considering deploying it on `mainnet`—a bug in the contract might lose or lock a lot of funds._
