What is spread betting?

mobile devices

Spread betting is a type of financial derivative trading that allows traders to speculate on the price movements of a wide variety of financial markets like forex, indices, stocks and commodities without actually owning the underlying asset.

Spread betting is one of the most popular ways to trade the financial markets in the UK, because any profits are tax-free*. Just pick a direction, decide how much to stake per point, then place your bet.

You can also trade your favourite markets without commission.
