Spreadex: sports betting and financial trading since 1999

Spreadex is a UK-based firm that has been operating since 1999 and presents itself as the only company to offer simultaneously two types of sports betting — fixed odds and spread betting — alongside financial trading. The company is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under reference number FRN 190941 and, in relation to fixed odds betting, is licensed by the Gambling Commission under account number 8835.

Sports betting: fixed odds and spread betting

Spreadex's sportsbook offers odds on sporting events worldwide, from football to Formula 1, including horse racing and handball. Available features include live streaming, multiple cash out options and the Bet-Builder tool. The firm states that its catalogue covers thousands of markets.

In addition to fixed-odds betting, the company offers sports spread betting, a format that provides access to thousands of additional and varied markets. In this variant, the more right you are, the more you can win, but there is also the possibility of losing more than your initial stake.

Financial trading: products and tools

Spreadex's financial trading platform allows you to trade global shares, indices, currencies (FX), commodities and other instruments via spread bets, CFDs or options. The firm highlights access to tight spreads, low margins and tools such as trading via charts, trailing stops, one-click dealing and market alerts.

Professional clients can trade on credit, although in that case they do not have negative balance protection. The company warns that spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments with a high risk of rapid loss due to leverage, and notes that 61% of retail investors lose money when trading these products.

Awards and ratings

According to the company's own information, Spreadex has received various awards over the years, including Best Spread Betting Platform at the 2025 ADVFN Awards. As of May 2025, the firm had two Trustpilot ratings of 4.4 out of 5, based on more than 1,500 reviews for its sports betting and financial trading products. In those reviews, customers highlighted the regular betting offers, reliable customer service, fast payouts on winnings and quick withdrawal times.

Account opening and corporate culture

Accounts are opened via an online form and, according to the company, allow you to have an active account within minutes. Spreadex states that it seeks to bring talented and ambitious individuals into its team, and describes a work culture in which ideas can come from any member, not just team leaders. Among the employee benefits it mentions are a generous holiday allowance, an annual bonus scheme, private healthcare, a contributory pension scheme, social nights and team parties, and paid sabbatical leave.

Regulatory and risk warnings

Spreadex's site is intended for persons aged 18 or over. The company stresses that sports spread betting carries a high level of risk to your capital and can result in losses larger than your initial stake or deposit, so it may not be suitable for everyone. Likewise, the information published is not targeted at the general public of any particular country and is not intended for distribution to residents of jurisdictions where such use would contravene applicable law or regulatory requirements.
