- Sports trader abused by users when he raised concerns
- Company is shirt sponsor of Nottingham Forest and QPR
A series of share-price crashes and rule changes on the betting site Football Index has led to increasing concerns that its clients now have millions of pounds in stakes trapped in the platform which has no protection if the firm ceases trading.
Football Index, the shirt sponsor of Nottingham Forest and Queens Park Rangers, is a self-styled football stock market where users trade virtual “shares” in top players. It was launched in 2015 offering “a challenge” to traditional forms of betting on football.
