I am on Android and get the problem as well. Although not as frequently as some. I complained about it awhile back. Figured bigsoccer just doesn't give a ******** or they would fix who they work with who is causing this. Obviously not that easy... Anyone try adblockers?
I have the same problem I use Brave app now and I don't get pop up. But I'll rather not. I can't do much with Brave than with Chrome. I used to read this one forum that had the same problem but they managed to fix it now, so I think it's this site problem...
This issue happens quite frequently for me on my Android phone. Never happens on my home computer (with adblock enabled) or my work computer (with no adblockers installed).
this routinely happens to me on Android 8.1 chrome browser mobile version only on bigsoccer.... redirected to Walmart deals, virus baloney, etc... usually it calms down after a while
I'll throw my hat into this. I have the exact same problem on Android OS using the Ghostery browser, which is generally excellent at stamping out this kind of stuff. Never had a problem on a web browser on a non-mobile device.
There's your problem. Switch to Windows and you'll be fine. Have you done the normal trouble shooting (clearing cache, cookies, etc)? Is it a pop up or a redirect?
@dark knight @Janet H There are two threads (merged from 3) on the same issue. Been going on for over a year.
I’ve been having this issue for a while now on my iPhone. Still not resolved. I suspect it’s code coming from a third party, likely advertisers. Only have this problem at BigSoccer.
Unfortunately this is an advertiser on your mobile device. These ads target IOS devices. The temporary solution is to clear your cookies and cache and do a restart. You've picked up some tracking cookie from this advertiser and getting rid of it will solve the issue until you pick up another one. Rinse... repeat.
Then why does it only happen when I visit BigSoccer? It maybe reacting to a cookie on my device but it’s being triggered by an ad here. It’s also happened over multiple cashe clears.
The site is currently unusable on my iPad. I clear my cache and cookies, go to BigSoccer.com as my first site I visit, and immediately get one of these pop-up ads that redirect me to the scam site. I can go to any number of other sites and never see this pop-up ad. No matter how many times I clear my cache or reload BigSoccer I can’t login or load anything but the first page without being redirected. Clearly it has nothing to do with my cache, it’s all due to the ads BigSoccer is serving up.
Doing some research one suggestion I saw was to turn off JavaScript for the Safari browser on iOS. So far that seems to be working, though the site's layout is a bit different with it off.
All of my devices are Android, but BigSoccer was completely unusable until I switched to Brave browser. There are releases for iOS, so that may at least be worth looking into. It would at least be a better option than toggling JavaScript just to come here, even if you don't use it for anything else.
