A Quick Guide to Making Money on Footstock

Launched just last year in April, the fantasy football betting platform Footstock couldn't have arrived at a better time. Now that everyone's stuck at home and many sporting matches have been postponed in light of the ongoing pandemic, many people are turning to fantasy football to rekindle their love of the beautiful game and relive the excitement they felt while watching live matches.

This doesn't mean, however, that the growing number of users on the platform is solely because it has a captive audience. Footstock has elements that are quite familiar to anyone who enjoys football in all its forms, such as player card trading and fantasy football tournaments, so it's easy to understand how the platform works. Plus, it presents different ways of translating a football fan's knowledge and passion for the sport into winnings. These make Footstock an ideal option for those who want to heighten their enjoyment of the sport.

Starting on the Right Foot

To begin your Footstock journey, you need to download the betting platform's app and create an account. It's a smart idea to find a Footstock referral code to use at this point, as this will give you extra funds that you can use later on to build your player card deck. The platform requires a minimum deposit of £20, but users get to enjoy a welcome bonus of up to £100 in contest credits matched to your deposit. All market trading on Footstock is commission-free as well.

Footstock sets itself apart from other platforms by focusing on player cards, similar to the Match Attax card that young footy fans are fond of collecting now. Upon signing up, you will get a stack of initial player cards. There are approximately 600 cards that you can collect, and this number will only grow as new teams are added to the English Premier League and players are transferred into existing teams.

A player card can have anywhere from 1 to 5 stars, and the more stars it has, the rarer that card is. These stars dictate the tournament level where the cards can be used. One-star cards, for example, can be used for any tournament, while those with higher stars may only be used for pro tournaments. There are more restrictions on player cards with more stars. To change the cards in your deck, you can trade cards with other Footstock traders or buy different tiers of card packs that are made up of random player cards. Take note, though, that there's a good chance you'll find rarer cards if you buy premium card packs.

Three Ways to Make Money

Now that the basic details are out of the way, let's focus on the different methods of winning prizes: joining fantasy football tournaments, buying and selling cards, playing player roulette.

Fantasy Football Tournaments

Once you buy a player card, you can use that player as a member of your fantasy football team for years-there's no expiration. Join different tournaments and competitions, build your team, and pay your tournament entry fee to play.

Just like regular fantasy football, your players earn points if they perform well. If you win the match or tournament, you get to take home every bit of the prize pool. If you're running low on funds, you can also take part in freeroll tournaments, which will give you the chance to earn money for free. There's a wide range of tournaments available on the platform, plus you can join paid or free competitions any time virtually every day.

Trading Cards

Another way of winning on Footstock is by trading well. You can buy player cards for cheap then sell them at a premium later on. If you feel that a player will have a great season, then it's a good idea to purchase that player's card and then sell it for profit once the demand for the player increases. You can also choose to invest in high-performing players and sell them once their price goes up. The key here is to buy player cards at a price that's lower than you think they can be sold for in the future.

When you visit the market on Footstock, you'll see that the player cards are marked at their current buy price. If you want to purchase the card instantly, you can match the current price or the price set by the seller. If you want to buy it at a lower price, however, you'll need to wait until a seller is willing to match the price you've set.

Player Roulette

Last but not least, Footstock also has a casino option where you can go against computer-generated cards. Choose a card from your deck, and the website will also get a random card from the same position and a stat that you have to compare. The owner of the player card with a better number on that particular stat wins the losing player card. You can only get a maximum of 15 spins on the player roulette every day, and each comes with a minimal fee.

It's that quick and easy. Sign up on Footstock today and get a good feel of how you'll translate your football knowledge and couch coach strategies into real money. Footstock is available on Google Play and the App Store.
