HIB$ Token

“ Hibs Fan Tokens can be traded on the SGO in-house exchange against HIB$, providing liquidity, value, credibility and more utility purpose. Other exchanges may be used for the launch and to further extend the offering in the initial growth stages.”

Have I been repeatedly hit over the head or is that absolute nonsense?

Smoke and mirrors if you ask me.

Anyone know what’s happening with the Hibs Fan token. I signed up but have just been given a refund with no communication from Hibs as to why

Seen them advertising them on the screens last night, doesnt help you though sorry

I feel deeply uneasy with this whole thing on various levels but the main thing I can't wrap my head around right now is how they can possibly be allowed to trade under the name 'Sportemon Go' when they're clearly riding on the coat tails of Pokémon Go - which is published by a company called Niantic and admittedly is a game, but as a product is largely built around a similar pitch of utilising innovative technology and marketing it direct to consumers. Can't understand how there hasn't been a lawsuit, unless there's some agreement in place. I'm no lawyer but it seems pretty cut and dry to me...

A lot of this can be applied to Hibs/SportemonGo. Stuff that was initially brought up months ago and a few decided to tell us was overthinking/club bashing.

Hopefully someone has woken up at Hibs and ditched this after the news.

[SaulGoodman]

Stand by my point from months ago. Dodgy as ****

[Jamesie]

Poor that there’s been a lack of comms over this to people who unexpectedly received refunds - although if it had signalled the club severing ties with this then I would have seen it as for the greater good - alas the advertising last night suggests the relationship continues.

From what I’ve read about this I see no good reason for Hibs to have anything to do with it and, more importantly, to be encouraging fans to engage with it. I say this as someone who has previously successfully dabbled with Bitcoin, but with cash that I knew I had to be fully prepared to lose in its entirety. That was entirely of my own volition and nobody was suggesting in doing so I was in some way amplifying my support for Hibs.

I remember as a child I couldn’t really understand why Hibs would have an interest in wine bars. As an adult, I can’t really understand why Hibs would have an interest in tokens. Sometimes you’re best to go with your gut instincts.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way but why would Hibs be in contact with you, surely it should be Sportmegon you would be in contact with. It's like if you had a problem with a Manscape order (another sponsor of ours), it wouldn't be up to Hibs to sort it out

Does that make sense?

I knicked my baws with my manscape and Ron Gordon came round to mines with some savlon.

I paid the money to hibs and it was hibs that gave me the refund so I would expect hibs to have contacted me to explain why or at least explain it on the website or on twitter. I’ve also messaged hibs 6 days ago and still not had a reply

Until we know why the refunds were given it’s difficult to know who should be in contact. The money was paid to Hibs, the next step was for Sportemon go to contact each individual who subscribed. I never heard from them so it may be that my money was still with Hibs who took the decision to refund it due to inactivity on Sportemon Go’s part

Fair enough - I never signed up so didn't realise how it work. It still looks dodgy AF to me

It was only £20. Nothing to get worried about

We appear to have disappeared from their website - Sevco and Luke Shaw stuff still available if anyone interested.

Sportebots have also airdropped and can now be hunted...........I have no idea what that means.

Me too, I emailed club and Sportemon Go and got no response.

Incredibly poor when you consider the negative reaction from the fan base to then ignore the small percentage that bought in.

Maybe just me but the links to buy the Hibs tokens no longer work - I am a luddite

Not just you, the links either don't work or circle you back to the pre-sale article. I wonder if there was a minimum sale requirement to make it viable and we didn't reach it.

I also had my purchase refunded and despite asking have had no explanation from Hibs.

[WhileTheChief..]

So as things stand, we can’t buy Hibs tokens, which presumably means nobody can, but we have the cash in the bank from Sportemongo for the sponsorship.

Decent result really.

[Irish_Steve]

Just as an aside, I saw the The Rangers had also signed up for this. I wonder if you can still buy into their scheme, not that I would! They have a bigger fan base so you would expect more of an uptake. Whole thing still stinks to me

Got this response today

Thank you for your interest in the Hibernian Fan Token and your purchase of the presale pack.

We & Sportemon Go have made the decision to postpone the initial offering of the token to create further interest.

Due to this postponement, we have refunded your presale pack. Refunds were processed at the beginning of December so you should have received your refund back to your original payment method.

Thank you for your continued support and we apologise for the delay in this communication.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes!

Yeah, just received the same. Looks like a lack of interest, which is strange given the number of NFT fans on social media that were so excited to buy in.

That’s interesting, I got the same email but I sent a stroppy one yesterday and thought it was just a response to my moaning as opposed to a generic email



Good Evening,

I’m emailing Sportemon Go for clarity on the Hibs fan token. I purchased the item below and was informed that I would be contacted regarding redeeming my purchase. As you can see below I emailed as no follow up email appeared. I’ve now been refunded my initial payment.

I’m incredibly disappointed with my experience and the terrible service from a partner promoted by my football club, my purchase driven by my affinity for the club. Particularly as it is breaking into a new market where there was substantial cynicism from the majority of fans, to then confirm that distrust with the fans that did commit is crazy.

I don’t want to buy the package any more, however, I would like an explanation as to what happened with my order. I know other fans have experienced the same thing and I have no desire to engage any further.

Best Regards

So, because they did not have enough interest they decide to cancel the sale until more people were prepared to part with their money? I’m out.

It's absolute pish, and hopefully this is last we ever hear of the link up with this unfortunately named scam merchant.

I wouldn't mind a few thousand people each giving me only £20. Go for a million donators the next time.
