N9 Football “click a button” Ponzi collapses, website gone
The N9 Football “click a button” Ponzi has collapsed.
N9 Football targeted investors in South Africa. I’m aware of two domains associated with the scam; “n9-1.com” and “n9football.com”.
“n9-1.com” was privately registered on December 26th, 2021.
A visit to the website domain today reveals an “under maintenance” message:
“n9football.com” was privately registered on November 3rd, 2021.
A visit to the website domain today reveals the domains hosting has been suspended.
SimilarWeb pegs South Africa as the top source of traffic to both domains (29% and 90% respectively).
Other countries N9 Football scammed include Japan, Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia and Turkey.
Owing to its Chinese origin, visiting N9 Football’s website triggered a Google translate notice:
N9 Football affiliates invested tether (USDT), on the promise of advertised returns.
Returns were tied to fictional sports gambling. The highest ROI I saw offered by N9 Football was 8.19%.
N9 Football affiliates earned commissions on recruitment of new investors. I wasn’t able to pin down any specifics.
In any event, N9 Football was a relatively short-lived Ponzi scheme. It collapsed in May 2022, leaving the majority of investors with a loss.
N9 Football was part of a group of “click a button” app Ponzis launched over the past few months.
Thus far BehindMLM has documented:
- COTP – pretended affiliates clicking a button generated trading activity, collapsed May 2022
- EthTRX is a similar app-based Ponzi, with the daily task component disabled

There are more of these scams around that I haven’t got to yet.
All the recent app-based task Ponzis appear to be launched by the same group of scammers.
Based on the use of simplified Chinese, I suspect the group are operating out of China or Singapore.
I am also a victim, please notify me if a new scam comes along so that I can report to the authorities to save others.
There is no way I can withdraw my money from n9?
Your money isn’t in N9 Football. You invested in a Ponzi scheme and your money is gone.
Sorry for your loss.
There is a new company now operating in Uganda with the name BLQ FOOTBALL could it be N9 FOOTBALL rebranded?
Looking at the screenshot of N9FOOTBALL platform, they look identical forsure.
With BLQ FOOTBALL however, you can withdraw your money anytime! Could it be a ploy to win people over?
Had a look at BLQ Football and yep, it’s a “click a button” Ponzi.
Seems to be targeting Ugandans this time.
