So you stumbled on nufu tv which is being advertised on Facebook as an affordable NFL streaming site. You’re probably wondering if it’s legit, as the plans are very cheap compared to other football streaming sites.
Well, here’s what you need to know about Nufu.tv, and risks of using illegal streaming sites.
What is Nufu.tv?
Nufu.tv is a platform that offers football (soccer) match streaming in various resolution. The homepage boasts ‘No Ads, No Lags, just HD content’. It also has an app available on Google Playstore, which unfortunately has 2 star ratings from users.
Majority of the reviews are complaints on issues such as ‘match buffering, freezing of the app, and login issues’.
However, aside the negative reviews, nufu.tv poses both security and illegal risks to users.
Is It Legal?
Nufu.tv is not legal. It’s running an illegal game of pirated content. It has not gotten the rights from NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, and NCAAF to broadcast the match. So it’s not a licensed streaming site.
Funny enough, it’s making people PAY to commit crime.
