Hope no one on here has lost out.

I was never totally convinced with the concept, esp all players having an expiry date.  That said, shocked to read it had gone under.

Sorry to see Motty promoting this in hindsight, no doubt he will be dismayed and saddened for those that have lost out.

I lost a bit but not much £20. Others have lost upwards of £5000. Surprised that it went bust as it was a good concept and was advertised on some strong mediums eg the shirts of QPR and Nottingham Forest and in four four two magazine.

I signed up once and took advantage of their welcome offer where if you deposited £500 and never made a profit in first week they refunded you it in full. I never made a profit so I got my money back from them.

Maybe welcome offers like that are too outlandish and highlights why they may be struggling

Bonkers some of these sums on imaginary stakes.

Seems like one of those schemes designed to part the ill-advised from their money. Betting by another name, but dressed up as a real market.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

At best, this was a thoroughly flawed concept. In reality it was a Ponzi scheme, but those liable will be hoping the former is the conclusion that is reached. (Not impossible given the severe ramifications that would be bestowed upon the Gambling Commission for their granting of a licence)

Many attempted to alert those gambling on FI that it was a Ponzi, for the past six months or more.

Unfortunately, something of a siege mentality was adopted online by punters and the vast majority failed to heed these warnings; instead opting to vilify those bringing them the advice.

Some are rumoured to have lost six figure sums.

i have seen stories of people losing their life savings in it, I would never ever invest my life savings in an investment site.

I would shove my life savings in a savings accounts which isn't related to stocks and shares.

I can see why you wouldn't want shares in British Gas, but why wouldn't you want made up shares in Jordan Pickford?!
