I thought I’d won £200 on bet but I ended up getting into huge trouble with my wife
A FOOTIE fan who won £200 on a stadium bet accidentally signed up to an adult website while trying to collect his winnings online.
Trevor Jones, 51, reckons he was redirected via a “dodgy” QR code to 18+ hook-up platform FlirtyMeetings.com — and left facing a tricky conversation with wife Julia, 49.
Stoke City supporter Trevor put a £40 accumulator on the club’s opening day Championship clash against Rotherham, and was cock-a-hoop when they won 4-1.
But he said: “They ran out of cash. I was told to scan the code, which I did the next day.
"I had to put in my bank details to get my cash. When I did it said ‘Congratulations, you’ve subscribed to flirtymeeting.com.”
So far he has been debited £2.50 but said his bank told him it had blocked a further £46.

Trevor, of Whitchurch, Shrops, added: “I had to tell Julia. She rolled her eyes and said it could only happen to me.
“The bank statements hadn’t come through for her to see, but I did have to say something first.”
The saucy site promises paid subscribers that they “will meet singles and possibly meet up as early as tonight!”
The club said on-site betting is provided by a third-party.
