HOW DO I OPEN AN ACCOUNT?

To open an account, select the ‘Join’ option from the top nav bar, or open a Spreadex account here. Applying for an account is a quick and simple process and can be accessed 24 hours a day. We will require complete and accurate details in order to establish clients’ identity and to carry out fraud and security checks.

Depending on the information provided, you could be granted an account straight away, or in some circumstances we will require further documentary information from you including photographic ID (such as a copy of your passport or driving licence) and proof of your address (such as a recent utility bill or bank statement). Although we require employment details, we will not contact your employer as part of the application. We do not take any applications over the phone.

Click the following link to download a paper application form that you can print out by clicking the link in the top right of the application page.

We are required by law to make sure our service is appropriate for clients, so before submitting your application please make sure that you have read our terms and conditions and that you understand and are comfortable with the risks involved with spread betting.

Can I trade Sports and Financials on the same account?

If you are classed as a Professional Client for financial spread betting then you can place sports spread bets and financial spread bets from the same account.

However, if you are classed as a retail client for financial spread betting you will need separate accounts for sports spread betting and financial spread betting.
