Spreadex are vying with Extrabet for 2nd place spread betting market.
Set up back in 1999, far -they are friendly and quick to deal with any problems.
We've had an account with Spreadex for over 5 years now and have enjoyed a good relationship with them. The firm is staffed by quick and efficient telephone dealers who take bets within seconds without seeming to rush you.
The choice of bets that they offer is comprehensive, they have a website which is very easy to navigate and where accounts can be opened online in minutes and your bets placed at the simple touch of a button.
Range of Bets- Good range of bets in all sports and almost every live televised sporting event. They also offer fixed odds spreads on most football & tennis markets.
Events offered include - American football, boxing, cricket, darts, football, golf, greyhound racing, horse racing, motor racing, politics, rugby union, tennis and all the major reality shows such as I'm A Celebrity, Strictly Come Dancing and X Factor.
What Else Is There? - They offer financial spreads on such markets as commodities, currencies, bonds, equities, indices and many popular shares. Back in Nov 2008 one client won over £100k betting that the interest rate cut would exceed 0.5% -it did, going down by 1.5%.
They also have a great punter-friendly Sports Blog which charts the fortunes of a couple of punters and often does the statistical legwork for you.
Website- Easy to navigate and uncomplicated would best describe the Spreadex site. You can see constantly updated live prices on all events and view your up to date account 24 hours a day. The tutorial section is particularly useful for the beginner and well worth a visit.
Telephone Dealing - With events taking place somewhere in the world 24/7, there is always somebody there to take your call -and in the middle of the night, they've always got time to chat and have a laugh with you! Get on early though at busy times such as Champions League games.
Ways To Pay- Visa, MasterCard, Solo, Switch, Maestro, Visa Electron, Bank Wire, Cheque.
Currencies- GBP, Euros, Dollars. Customer Service -By telephone or email, we have always found Spreadex to be very prompt and efficient when dealing with any queries.
Incentives-Sports offer: Choice of two sports bets
Once you have opened your account, just place five qualifying sports bets and once they have been settled they'll give you a bet on either:
* Football: £100 supremacy bet on any live match
* Horse racing: £10 National Hunt or flat match bet
* Cricket: £10 'first 15 over runs' bet on any live one day game
* Rugby league/union: £10 total points bet on any live match
* Golf: £10 finishing positions bet on any US or European tour event
Place a further 10 qualifying sports bets which go on to be settled and they'll give you a second bet on one of the same markets as listed above -which can be another £100 supremacy bet!
A live game is deemed as one on which Spreadex is offering 'in-running' betting.
They also have a 'Refer A Friend' promotion which allows you to claim £50 once your friend has gone on to place five settled bets.
Where to view prices: No longer on Channel 4 or Sky Sports text -so find them on the internet.
If you want a spread betting account with an option to play the financial markets then this is the one for you. Their range of markets and availability of prices will definitely increase as the company grows.
