Overview
Spreadex Introduction
Spreadex is the only firm that offers fixed odds betting and sports spread betting from one account.
Spread betting, if you haven’t tried it yet, is a high risk and high reward way to bet on sports events around the world. Spread betting makes fixed odds betting look very one-dimensional, as with spread betting it isn’t about being right or wrong, it is about how right or wrong you are.
Remember, with spread betting you can lose more than in your account so we would recommend starting with smaller stakes than you are used to. You can calculate your maximum risk and return before each bet relatively easily on markets such as Total Goals.
The company has built up a strong reputation, recently receiving the prestigious EGR Award for Best Spread Betting Company in 2017.
The firm also has a fully-fledged financial trading arm, allowing you to place spread bets and CFDs on global financial markets. For casino players, there is an online casino featuring some of the most popular games in the UK including Starburst and Twin Spin.

Interface and Appearance
Spreadex launched a new sports betting platform in June 2018.
The website is easy to toggle between fixed odds and spread bets, although due to the number of bets available it might feel a bit overwhelming at first.
There is an exceptionally useful in-play centre, showing you the full list of in-play events and the events that are up next. You can easily filter this section by each event type.
As spread betting is a much more niche product than fixed odds betting, there is an (i) symbol next to each spread betting market. This gives you a worked example and/or a description of each market you are betting on.
You can view match centres on many games, showing you what is happening in real time. This is really useful to keep track of your bets if you are out and about while the event is on.
There are easy-to-use apps available for iPhone, iPad and Android. You can also visit a mobile optimised site if you don’t have the apps.
