BetIndex Limited the operators of Football Index have entered administration following the previous weekend uproar by investors on the restructuring of players values to try and save the company.
The entire platform is now suspended and there is no indication if it will ever re-emerge after administrators Begbies Traynor took over the business.
In an announcement by the company on Thursday evening Football Index said, “after discussions with ‘external’ legal and financial advisors, the decision was made to help find an ‘agreeable way forward.”
The company went on to say, “Until such time as the administrators are in office, the platform will remain suspended and no trading or payment transactions, such as deposits and withdrawals, will be possible,”
‘Once in office, the administrators will be in contact with customers, creditors, and other stakeholders. This interim step of suspending the platform is merely to ensure that everyone’s rights are preserved in relation to funds held by BetIndex Limited.’
