Basketball MTE Games - Beware the Flo Hoops Scam

Basketball fans, please pay attention to this post if you plan to watch next week's games in the Golden Window Classic via Flo Hoops. I plan to bump this throughout the next week to keep it first page or mods, please feel free to sticky it at least till next Thursday.

TLDR version:
- Flo Hoops is likely (at this point) the only way to watch the games.
- Don't fall for the $12.50/mo. scam unless you actually want an annual subscription and to pay $150 total.
- If you just want LSU games next week, then choose the "MONTHLY" plan for $29.99.
- Detailed explanation below

The event is being put on by "Elevate Hoops" and according to their site and the event site, they have not officially announced tv or streaming plans and said they will once available.

However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the games will only be "televised" through online streaming and that Flo Hoops (Sports) is the likely provider since they are the only ones advertising it thus far. Here is the link to the event page: LINK

BEWARE OF FLO HOOPS!

I'll start by saying I've never used them before, so I can't vouch for how reputable or quality the stream is; but a user on 247 mentioned something about being careful as they will charge you $150, when most are thinking (already seen some posts on here) that it will cost just $12.50. So I did a little digging on their site and discovered what the poster is talking about.

The site does not give much info. regarding the service or plans. When you begin the sign-up process and get to step 3 of picking your plan, there are 2 options that show up - "Monthly" and "Yearly". The site defaults to the "Yearly" and makes it appear as though you are only paying $12.50 per month. Well, that is true, you will only pay that much per month; however, you are locked into an annual subscription and they will charge you a total of $150 for the year ($12.50 x 12 mo's). Likely this total is charged upfront; however, the site does not say anything regarding that.

The "Monthly" plan is what you will want to likely choose as next week is probably the only time you'll want them (although I do know LSU gymnastics and softball are sometimes on Flo Sports, assuming that this subscription gets you access to all those). The monthly plan is a steeper price though of $29.99.

So if you are wanting to watch LSU next week, you'll either be shelling out $29.99 on the low end or $150 on the high end if you purposefully or accidentally choose the "Yearly" option.

If anyone has contradictory or better info. from experience than this, please share in this thread.
