ABOUT US
Spreadex has been a trusted name in sports and financial spread betting for over 25 years. Since expanding into fixed odds betting in 2010 and CFD trading in 2017, we remain the only global operator to offer all these services under a single brand.
Following a quarter-century of sustained profitability, we’re entering an exciting new phase of growth across both our sports and financial divisions. This ambitious expansion is backed by a significant increase in our marketing investment and the recent acquisition of Sporting Index.
