Membership

If you don't have a PayPal account but would like to know more about becoming a member, please email Ian.

Unsurprisingly, the title wasn’t lying; this is indeed the section with details on The Footy Tipster membership!

What is The Footy Tipster membership?

This is basically a Membership set up for loyal users of TFT to support the site whilst receiving certain perks for doing so. There is no obligation for anyone on the site to pay unless they wish to do so.

How much do you charge?

We charge £3 a week or £10 per month or £95 per year – Obviously the £95 a year works out the cheapest over the long-term.

How can I pay?

Please use the form at the top of this page to pay via PayPal. For payment via Wire Transfer, please email thefootytipster@gmail.com for the bank details.

Incidentally, we no longer use Moneybookers due to personal difficulties with them so please don’t ask.

What are the “perks” of becoming a member?

For your fee you will be able to view featured games (which will generally be all of the value tips barring one each day, which will be in the free section of the site), and also the ability to liaise with Ian regarding your own bets, not to mention some other relevant news regarding future bets and potential bookmaker traps/fixed games. Lastly, you’ll also be able to see team news from well over twenty different countries around the world on each match day ranging including the likes of Hungary, Serbia, Scotland, Bulgaria, Turkey, Lithuania, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Moldova, Poland, Norway, Romania, Brazil, Finland, Estonia, Macedonia, Sweden, Croatia, Netherlands, Greece, Republic of Ireland, Russia, Slovenia, and Mexico, although this list could be altered a short notice if we have more or less contributors at the time!

When is payment due by?

Whenever you like!

How do I view the “members section” page?

Create a log in via the “log in” button on the right-hand navigation bar and then use the form below. Ian or Toby will then grant you access to view the page.

Why the hell would I want to become a member?

Well, that’s up to you as the individual. We like to think that we offer a good service with in-depth explanations behind each attempt to beat the bookmaker. Most tipster sites will simply list a prediction without reasoning, which even a monkey can do. Here, we like to offer you our reasoning and whether you agree with us or not, you’ll at least be able to see the thought process behind the tip, which we feel is very important. Your payments go toward supporting and maintaining the site and that in itself allows us the freedom to do more to make your stay on the site more enjoyable and profitable. Additionally, if you don’t like the tips, you at least have the team news to make up your own mind!

Can I opt out of being a member?

Absolutely. However, if you have paid your money and viewed at least one tip on the members section (or had the ability to do so) then you won’t receive a refund for that month. You will be entitled to a refund if you’ve not seen anything on that page, however.

What do I have to do to sign up?

Follow the easy steps shown below!

1. Register a username on the site by clicking “log in” on the right-hand side of the screen and then clicking “register”.

2. Fill out the form below including your TFT Username.

3. You will get emailed when you have been accepted. You may need to be a bit patient as not all emails can be answered immediately, unfortunately, so don’t fret! We aren’t going to run off with your money!!

If making a payment by wire transfer, please email to say that you’re doing it and please also confirm your username on the payment so we know who has paid!

Help – I can’t see the members page!

Ok, please double-check you are logged in before emailing to report any issues! We’ve genuinely not had an issue on the site yet whereby someone cannot view the members section because of a site error and that’s largely because if there’s a problem with that section then there’s a problem with the site as a whole and chances are you can’t get on it anyway! If you are definitely logged in and can’t see the members section then ask yourself if it’s likely that I’ve not put any tips up that day due to a lack of games (usually possible to find out if there are no tips on the main page). If you think that there is an update there and you can’t view it then feel free to email us and we’ll see how we can resolve it.

If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to email us at toby.osbourn@gmail.com. Thanks very much for your continued support, ladies and gentlemen!

TFT reserves the right to cancel or decline membership if deemed necessary.

Scotland on January 8, 2011 at 11:32 am said:

Ive sent payment, gladly contribute to this here site :)

To pay via paypal, just go to http://www.paypal.com and sign up. (Create an account which involves adding your bank card details. This is very secure.)

Once you’re all signed up, log in to your account and press on the blue button that says ‘send money’. Add in the ‘To’ section, thefootytipster@gmail.com and then send 5 Great British Pounds via the ‘personal’ section and tick gift option.

Theres a seperate bit at the bottom of that page to add a personal note to Ian and co.

Hope that helps……

For reasons unknown, Paypal isn’t supported in my country. I’m not allowed to have a paypal account in Lebanon…Where we chose the country on paypal there’s no “lebanon” :( :( :( I really want to be a member and contribute to the site while receiving the benefits. Is there another way ? It’s ridiculous to do a wire transfer of 5 pounds they’ll laugh at me in the bank :S

I hope you will allow a visa payment soon on the site…If there’s another way, please let me know because I really want to be involved in what you’re doing.

Thanks a lot, and Cheers to Ian.

  Hey mate,
  
  Sorry to hear about your domestic issues :(
  
  I’m open to suggestions but I don’t really know what else we can do. It’d take weeks and weeks to set up this card thing, apparently – we need all kinds of security add-ons to the site etc. and it’s basically not something worthwhile doing yet.
  
  What about Moneybooker?

  You just follow the instructions on the “Membership” page – you send a PayPal or Moneybooker payment to the email address shown with your email address on the payment and that’s all you need to do :)

  Hey mate,
  
  It’s not possible yet but I will look into it over the coming few days to see how feasible it is as we’ve had a few requests for it.
  
  In the meantime, have you tried signing up for PayPal or Moneybooker?

Dear lan,
Thank you for your wonderful site which interest me immensely and I would love to be a member. However, I live in a remote part of Indonesia and entertain myself placing small bets with local bookies. We don’t have the convienences of PayPal or MoneyBooker here. Please advise how I could become a member and contribute on the well running of your site.
Thank You
