For many, the [collapse](https://javseen.tv/users/MelanieTen/info/) of Football Index came out of the blue, but some skilled traders who were familiar with the [platform forecast](http://youtools.pt/mw/index.php?title=User:DonteNavarrete3) its demise a number of months ago.

Owned by BetIndex, Football Index was launched to much fanfare in 2015. It marketed itself as the perfect combination between [dream football](http://www.oeffne-mich.de/hallo-welt/) and stock trading, in which consumers traded virtual shares in selected professional footballers that went up and down in [worth depending](http://marina-havelauen.de/marina-havelauen-_-5-sterne-hafen-in-berlin-und-brandenburg-12) upon the player's performances and other metrics.
+
Promising to challenge the status quo of conventional betting services in the UK, Football Index offered time-sensitive shares in gamers which might return dividends throughout the duration of the three-year agreement duration. You can see bookiesfreebets.co.uk for a guide on how the dividends worked, but in brief, the payments tended to range from 1p as much as 14p a share.
+
However, following a number of unexpected crashes in gamer's share prices in addition to a drastic set of rule changes on the betting platform, Football Index clients began to end up being worried. Caan Berry, a successful Betfair trader, who has a large YouTube following, was amongst the very first to voice his discontent with what he saw occurring on the platform.

Berry released a video on his YouTube channel discussing his ideas. In it, he raised the problem of Football Index telling users that they were buying 'shares' since you only got a three-year contract on a particular gamer. For some, that possibly wished to get in early a young wonderkid, just owning him for this length of time might not pay-off.

Secondly, Berry explained that the company's policy modification put a stop to the 'immediate sell' feature on the platform. This utilized to permit wagerers to rapidly offer their stock back to Football Index. Instead, the only way to eliminate your shares was if another customer wished to buy them; nevertheless, Football Index's new conditions enabled them to mint brand-new tokens, which cleaned out many peer-to-peer trading markets.
+
Concerning for customers is the fact that the T&C s [plainly](https://www.gtclassiche.com/it/news/6_luce-targa-carello.html) state that once shares have actually been acquired on the platform, the user's funds are not kept in a segregated account. This indicates that there is no warranty of getting a refund if the business ends up being insolvent.
+
Many have asked how this might occur, seeing as Football Index is licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, but it appears they didn't see the writing on the wall either. A crumb of comfort is that cash balances can be withdrawn, yet this truly is a crumb when there are traders with shares totaling 7 [figures locked](https://git.todayisyou.co.kr/federicoparent/the-bet-9ja-promo-code-this-2026-is-yohaig/-/issues/1) in the game.

Previously, the proud sponsor of 2 groups - Nottingham Forest and Queens Park Rangers, Football Index has had its [betting](http://www.qshmed.co.uk/index.php/2016/01/21/ahoj-svet/) license suspended. A professional financial advisory business is helping in discovering a buyer for the platform, while numerous MPs have actually called for a complete query as to why the regulators stopped working to act to protect UK gamers.
