Why is Stars Group doing an ICO?
Initial coin offerings enable purchasers from multiple socio-economic backgrounds and geographical locations to participate and engage with companies around the world. We want to give football fans the ability to transact seamlessly in what we envision as the future of sports commerce. Blockchain technology provides a seamless mechanism to interacts with global fans, an interaction that has yet to be entirely fulfilled.

What made you realize that there is potential in applying blockchain technology to football? In particular, which key problem(s) with the traditional football does your product/platform solve?
As a football agency, we have found that there are many financial/operational inefficiencies within the industry.
- Football is an ecosystem in itself, that does not operate as a byproduct of any single economy, but rather has ties to a diversity of countries, currencies, capital inflows, and football market dynamics.
- The unfortunate reality of the industry is that corruption does exist, and FIFA is doing all they can to crack down on financial fair play, and require transparency from an ownership/transaction
  perspective.
- There are very few opportunities for the fans of the world’s #1 sport to give back to the game and engage in depth.
- Clubs receive sponsorship, broadcasting, merchandise sales, tickets sales, and transfer fee revenue in different currencies, and at each exchange/transaction point, the club loses money in transaction
  fees.
- Payment delays are rampant throughout the industry

Have other businesses like your run ICO’s previously?
No, we are the first of our kind. To date, there has not been another ICO that aims to create a financial infrastructure for a sports platform and ultimately for an entire sports industry.

What will the STARS Token be used for?
The STARS Token is a token redeemable for football merchandise, tickets, player and club memorabilia, streaming media, and other footballrelated goods and services on the Stars Group Platform.

If you have more questions like these, lets discuss on here or on our telegram: https://t.me/joinchat/GoU6oUialWNk6L1dhaPLsw

Our CEO and Founder, Daniel Taylor, was able to sit down with London Sporting and talk about the state of the football industry, blockchain technology, and if cryptocurrency is here to stay! We are excited to share his interview with you all to give you a better perspective of Stars Group and why we created our product!

"From a transparency perspective, it’s the best and worst part of the sport – what’s actually happening behind the scenes? How do we think about adding transparency to an industry where you have a governing body like UEFA, calling for transparency, but have no method to implement that."

https://i.imgur.com/1qtGvPr.jpg

If you'd like to take a look at the whole interview, check it out here: https://youtu.be/EeQgnZOFb4M

Any questions?

What do you say about clubs from conglomerat? Can you say about their names? Or this is big secret?

Hi Kusumadewi! Manchester City, Ajax, Roma, and a consortium of soccer football clubs and insiders are in talks to partner with STARS Token.

Have you asked, what is STARS token?
Have you been curious about its implementation?
Do you want to know how exactly you'll use it?

Well we wanted to answer these questions for you and the time has come! Here is, STARS Token! 

Let us know if you have more questions after!

I am very interested in the project but I still have a lot of questions to ask about this project. I am sure the project will succeed because it is highly appreciated on all media

Thanks for checking out our project! We'd love to answer any questions you have. You can ask them on here, our team is live on Telegram: https://t.me/joinchat/GoU6oUialWNk6L1dhaPLsw or you can email me at info@starsgroup.io!

Since we've had many questions and members wanting to know more about Stars Group and our Token, we have decided to have a LIVE Q&A Session on Thursday, December 14th, at 1pm EST.

https://i.imgur.com/NUytSVz.jpg

Join us on Thursday as Stars Group CEO, Daniel Taylor, sits down to answer any & all questions! We will be live streaming from our FB page!

recently I came across an article of top 10 worst passwords. among the 12345 and qwerty was football ) honestly I'm in varieties of football do not understand.

While everyone is getting ready for the new year and spending time with family, making resolutions, or just trying to figure out how a whole year has passed, remember that Stars Group is online and available to chat.  It's a little quiet over here so feel free to ask us any questions about our pubic pre-sale, our long term vision, or if you just want to chat about football (who can't stop talking about Man City's 18-match winning streak?!  :o )

I'm also online on our Telegram channel chatting about cryptocurrency now! Join the conversation here:  https://t.me/joinchat/GoU6oUialWNk6L1dhaPLsw   :)

This project looks interesting and I like that it’s focused on football, but why do you think that this will be successful? How are you different than other ICOs in the space?

How much does it cost to purchase tokens and what happens if you don’t raise what you’re trying to raise?

What’s wrong with the industry that you want to change it? How do you think you’ll be able to do that?

So what exactly can I do with your tokens after I purchase them?

Hi GoBelle, thats a great question! We're different than other ICO's in the space because we are the first of our kind in the sports world. To date, there has not been another ICO that aims to create a financial infrastructure for a sports platform and ultimately for an entire sports industry. We believe we'll be successful because of this point exactly. In addition, the problem(s) we're trying to solve using blockchain and our platform will help both clubs, players, and fans!

Each token costs $.17. All money that is raised during the pre-ICO process will be held in an escrow account until the targeted amount has been reached. If the amount
is not reached after the public token sale concludes, all funds will be returned to the purchasers accordingly.

Hope this is helpful! If you have anymore questions, feel free to reach out to us on our telegram channel: https://t.me/joinchat/GoU6oUialWNk6L1dhaPLsw

As a football agency, we have found that there are many financial/operational inefficiencies within the industry that made us realize that there was potential in applying blockchain technology to football.

1. Football is an ecosystem in itself, that does not operate as a byproduct of any single economy, but rather has ties to a diversity of countries, currencies, capital inflows, and football market dynamics.
2. The unfortunate reality of the industry is that corruption does exist, and FIFA is doing all they can to crack down on financial fair play, and require transparency from an ownership/transaction perspective.
3. There are very few opportunities for the fans of the world’s #1 sport to give back to the game and engage in depth.
4. Clubs receive sponsorship, broadcasting, merchandise sales, tickets sales, and transfer fee revenue in different currencies, and at each exchange/transaction point, the club loses money in transaction fees.
5. Payment delays are rampant throughout the industry.

We believe using blockchain technology can help solve these problems because of smart contracts. Smart contracts can verify and automate the transfer of digital assets between persons on a common network. A smart contract could trigger the transfer of digital tokens from a sponsor in the United States to a club in Europe upon the occurrence of a specific event, such as qualifying for a particular tournament. Also, consider the current player transfer process. When two clubs agree to sell a player, the player goes to their new club for a medical checkup. After the player passes the medical test,
the player will sign the new contract, and then the buyer will transfer funds in the denomination of the seller’s choosing. The smart contract protocol will automate this process, and ensure that the transfer is made on time, for the agreed to amount with a single currency, eliminating the currency exchange. These secure digital transactions can save time and money in the transfer process. Furthermore, FIFA, and every Token holder will be able to see that the transfer was made on the distributed ledger, providing full transparency and security to the transfer process.

Sword555, once you purchase STARS tokens, you can go onto the Stars Platform and redeem tokens for football merchandise, tickets, exclusive player and club memorabilia, streaming media, and other football related goods and services.

That's an excellent answer. You seem to have a lot of experience in the field, no pun intended. May I ask if you're on the team page?

Everyone loves a good pun -- i'm not currently on the team page. We have not put our entire team on the site. Instead, we have left that for our more C-level members.

What are the soft and hard caps? Also, is there a minimum purchase requirement?

When is the soonest I will be able to do this?

How do people from within the industry benefit by using Stars Group compared to the way they're handling it now?

Thanks for the question! We currently have a soft cap of $15,000,000 and a hard cap of $51,000,000. Right now we are currently in our public pre-sale. There is a minimum purchase requirement of 300 STARS tokens or $51 USD!

Right now, in the industry, clubs receive sponsorship, broadcasting, merchandise sales, tickets sales, and transfer fee revenue in different currencies, and at each exchange/transaction point, the club loses money in transaction fees.

As we increase consumer interaction with the Stars Group Platform, we intend to utilize the platform internally for intergroup player transfers and international transactions. This would benefit clubs  and owners because it would automate the process, and ensure that the transfer is made on time, for the agreed to amount with a single currency, eliminating the currency exchange.

We are expecting to release our beta platform at the of January, but this date is subject to change. We'll keep you updated as we progress forward!

In a few words how would you describe what your platform does to a potential investor?

The Stars Group Platform is an interactive online marketplace exclusively designed for Token holders. Consumers will utilize the platform for team merchandise sales— with exclusive items released solely on the platform such as tickets, opportunities to meet the players, exclusive club and player merchandise and memorabilia, live-streamed game day and practice footage, etc.

I look forward to your updates. The end of January is coming quick, especially when you're as busy as I imagine you guys must be right now. Best of luck to you, I'll be keeping a close eye on this project.

Glad to hear the minimum is so low. What happens if you don't hit the soft cap?

That actually does sound really useful for people in the industry. What kind of fees would they have to pay to use your platform instead?

I like the video media offerings your mentioned at the end, very interesting. So you would have to work with FIFA to be able to stream the games? Have you reached out to them yet?

There is a small transaction fee when you make purchases on the platform using STARS tokens. The transaction fee for credit card transaction compared to ETH/STARS is up to 5% larger when including FX exchange and 3rd party processing fees.

How many people are on your team right now?

Will it all be refunded in this case?

Our team includes 6 members, in addition to a great advisory and ambassador team!

If the amount is not reached after the public token sale concludes, all funds will be returned to the purchasers accordingly.

Users will have a small transaction fee when they make purchases on the platform using STARS tokens.

How do you think Alex will be able to help Stars Group?

I put this in my calendar, thanks. Do I need to be whitelisted to get in on the pre-sale?

I'm guessing the exact % hasn't been nailed down at this point?

This won't be open source will it?

Are you guys having a bounty campaign? How is it working out for you if so?

Alex will be helpful moving forward in many ways. One in particular is due to his experience and expertise in the crypto space. His advisory clients who have successfully completed ICOs include Science (famous for incubating Dollar Shave Club and selling for $1 billion cash), BLOCKv, Sense, and Propy. Clients in the process of ICOs/token sales or evaluating include Academy for Blockchain Technology, African Potash, Ankorus, Phireon, FR8, BLOCT, LightStar, BitSpeed (now partnered with Google), GINET, and Millennium Energy.

We do currently have a bounty campaign! The bounty campaign is doing well and picking up speed!

Hello, you do not have to be whitelisted prior to the pre-sale. Anyone can go onto our site, http://starsgroup.io and you can complete the purchase there!

He sounds like an extremely useful guy to have around. You can't divulge any specific changes you've made due to his advisory, can you?

I'm guessing your exact fee hasn't quite been nailed down yet? 2%? 2.5%?

Thanks. You guys aren't worried about any sort of regulation or KYC, etc?

Sounds like a formidable team! All full time I assume?

When is the ICO? Am I too late for the pre-ICO?

Yes -- most definitely!

Thanks for reaching out Bananfana! You are not too late -- our pre-sale is open until Feburary 2nd, 2018. :)

As of now, due to the token being a utility we are not. The Token can only be utilized for the purchase of goods and services provided by the Stars Group. The token is not linked to an
ownership stake in the Stars Group or Stars Group Football Clubs.

As of now, we cannot, but keep your eyes open for some announcements coming up in the next few weeks!

will there be a possibility in the future to convert the token into other means?

Is this a good project? :-\

You are right, we haven't nailed down exactly, but it's looking like .5%!

It's a great project!! If you love football and want to see the integration of blockchain into the sports industry, this is the project for you!

You can count on that much.

That's incredibly low. That would probably go a long way to getting adopters in early on.

That's good, makes it a lot easier when you don't need a whole fleet of lawyers lol. Do you have a legal team on retainer though?

That's good. Do you have plans to make more hires anytime soon, or will this team be able to keep up with scale as is?

Yes, as you can see on our site, we are partnered with Reed Smith :)

We are looking to expand our team with a couple positions over the coming weeks!

Hello StarsGroup! Please message me on telegram @cryptohives for possibilities to increase your StarsGroup community

Have you guys been to any blockchain conferences?

Where is the best place I can get up to date news on Stars Group? Your Twitter?

Where can I buy tokens after the ICO ends?

Do you think you will be ready to launch before the next season starts?

Do you guys have celebrity advisors?

We have been to several! We went to the Blockchain Economic Forum, North American Bitcoin Conference, d10e, and Global Blockchain Summit.

Yes absolutley! As of now our platform is scheduled to go live March 16th, 2018.

We are currently working with third party exchanges for our Token to be listed following the completion of the ICO. Tokens can also be purchased via our website at starsgroup.io

We currently have world-class football player Sokratis Papastathopoulos, former Ballon d'Or winner Hristo Stoichkov, Greek National team captain Vasilis Torosidis, global journalist Ian Stafford, former FIFA referee Mario van der Ende, ex-professional footballer Jan Olde Riekerink, tech genius and author Alex Lightman!

You can stay up to date on Stars Group news via any of our social media platforms that can be found here: https://medium.com/@morgan_38669/stars-group-ico-introduction-ca01a0a8d4ff

You guys really get around! Did you guys get any interviews, or any video media from there? I'd love to watch.

That's coming up quickly. Your dev team must be working very hard. I hope you guys keep it up!

I won't be able to by from starsgroup.io with fiat will I?

The merchandise marketplace is supposed to come out next month right? Can you talk about what we should expect to see in the marketplace?

The marketplace is supposed to go live upon the distribution of Tokens which is currently set for March 16th, 2018. We are actively working on partnering with different brands to provide the best products possible on the Stars Platform!

Correct, you will not be able to purchase with fiat on Starsgroup.io

You can watch a video of our founder, Daniel Taylor, speaking at the London Sporting Club to some of Europe's most prominent figures in sports: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeQgnZOFb4M

That's awesome. He's very well spoken, and obviously very knowledgeable in both blockchain and football.

This project looks interesting and I like that it’s focused on football, but why do you think that this will be successful?

That's probably a good thing, that would open up a whole can of worms as far as regulation goes. Where are you guys based out of by the way?

Okay, that's actually on my birthday lol. Can you disclose any products or team brands you have secured at this time, or do we have to wait for the market to launch?

We are based out of the UK, but have a team that works out of New York as well.

We are not able to disclose products or team brands just yet, but stay tuned as we are excited to announce this over the coming weeks!

There are several key components that will lead to our success. (1) We have identified a real issue within football and understand how Blockchain technology can help solve these problems. (2) Our team has decades of experience in professional football and has built an extensive network that will be nearly impossible to replicate (3) We are confident that because we are the first of our kind to enter the space we will be able to leverage our first mover advantage (4) We think our team is world-class and has the vision to make STARS a leading innovative solution within the industry.

Thanks for your questions! As we have completed our presale. For the public sale, there will be no minimum investment needed. The price of a STARS token is .17.

This is an interesting project and I'm just now learning about it. Where is the best place to get started and what is the purpose of buying the tokens?

What is the total supply of STARS? What will happen to unsold tokens?

On the roadmap/timeline I noticed that January 2018 the initiation of club prospecting and due diligence was scheduled to have been completed. Did you guys make the deadline?

I also saw this on the timeline. I only skimmed over that because I am not extremely familiar with the terminology. What impact will it have on the user experience?

I'm still curious about it and afraid it got buried.  ;D

Great to hear! The first place I would recommend is you check out our website at http://starsgroup.io. There you can read our whitepaper, see our team, and learn about what STARS tokens will do. Then i would join our telegram and be part of the community we're building around football and crypto! https://t.me/joinchat/GUfSEkialWNbp9ASQtIXkA

The total supply of STARS is 500,000,000 tokens...in which 300,000,000 of those will be available for public sale!

Our goal is to change the user/fan experience as it is now. As of now, there are very few opportunities for the fans of the world’s #1 sport to give back to the game and engage. Through the use of STARS tokens and our platform we will be able to give fans that engagement to their favorite players and clubs they are looking for! Our platform will give exclusive access to content, merchandise, player and club memorabilia, and rewards for those using our tokens. This will change the game!

Great question -- we are currently looking at prospective clubs! Once any club is finalized we will update you :)

Neat project, well done. I'm looking forward to seeing its success. May I ask who your competitors are in this space on the blockchain?

Where is the best place to keep up with the development of Stars Group? I'm always interested in seeing details about what the devs are up to.  ;D

To date, there has not been another ICO that aims to create a financial infrastructure for a sports platform and ultimately for an entire sports industry. As of now, our pool of competition is very low due to our vision of Stars Group IO.

We give all updates on our company, progress, etc. on our telegram group. That is the best way to find this information -- plus you can talk to the team in real time! Here is the link to our group: https://t.me/joinchat/GUfSEkialWNbp9ASQtIXkA

Will your team be doing anything to prevent traders from buying your tokens only to dump them at the first exchange? Is there a feature in place that will prevent that? I ask because a lot of ICOs tend to suffer because of this.

What are the other 200m tokens held for? Obviously the team will take a good portion of those, but I'm curious what % goes to the team.

I appreciate all of the information. I will be doing research and joining the community on Telegram. Thanks for being very responsive.  :)

I can really appreciate how you guys are making it possible for fans to contribute to the game. It's something I have felt was always lacking so this is really exciting that you guys plan to solve this problem. I am also pretty excited about exclusive merchandise and rewards. Is there any way to see the rewards yet?

As fans, we felt the same thing, and that is one of the reasons we created Stars Group. As of now, you can't. But you may see some coming in the near future!  :)

Thank you for supporting Stars Group and seeing the vision we see for the future of football!

I have taken the distribution from our white paper (http://starsgroup.io/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Stars-Group_January.pdf)

60% sold in the token sale
15% allocated to Stars Group founders, employees, and advisors
15% Stars Group reserve for further company development and needs
8% reserved for token sale bonuses
2% allocated for marketing, legal, and other miscellaneous fees

As of now, that is something we haven't put in place. But it is a good point and we'll think about this moving forward! Thanks!

That's good to hear because no competitors means you guys have a really unique project and a head start on the market :D

Awesome, thanks for the reply. I'll be joining Telegram and following your group.

I'm having a problem getting to that Telegram. It's saying "There is a problem loading the page." It does this with both Chrome and Firefox. Is it just me?

Personally, I think the product itself will help keep people around because it's going to be fun. Thanks for taking that into consideration though as it might become helpful later on.

Thanks for your response. I'm very glad you guys are doing this. I'm very excited to see the rewards and hope to see them soon :D

That's very weird! I'm using Chrome and when i enter, https://t.me/joinchat/GUfSEkialWNbp9ASQtIXkA, it takes me to joining the group on the webpage.

Great to hear! Can't wait to chat!

Hello Everyone!

With the close of our pre-sale and the anticipation of our public sale opening March 12th, we wanted to make sure that our brand truly represented our values and the improvements we have made throughout our token sale. That is why, effective yesterday, Feb 28th, 2018, Stars Group is excited to announce its re-naming to BlocSide Sports. The STARS token will now be referred to as MVP token.

Find out more details on our transition here: https://medium.com/blocside-sports/stars-group-io-new-name-new-look-same-vision-welcome-to-blocside-sports-ba68987dfd8f

Hey guys, can you  clarify what is an inferior limit of my donation in your ICO and pre-ICO?

Can someone please ELI5 me what this platform does? No fancy words.
