Spread Betting Advantages
Today, spread betting is the biggest and most common form of financial betting in the UK. Quite simply, you bet on a financial market with a spread of prices and returns based on the likely direction of that market.
The huge rise in popularity of spread betting — especially in the UK where a number of successful companies boast tens of thousands of loyal customers — is a direct consequence of its flexibility. The advantages of spread betting include:
Trading with smaller amounts of money, which can be great for beginner investors.
Instant access to a huge range of markets.
Excellent technology and Internet support.
Unique markets, such as on property, and binary bets, which are similar to fixed odds bets, in which you know exactly what you stand to gain or lose when you place the bet. In binary bets, you wager on whether the asset (or index) will close higher or lower than the current spot price by the end of the day.
Leverage, which is useful if you know what you’re doing!
Just in case you think that spread betting sounds too good to be true . . . you may be right! Spread betting is for certain investors only, and most people are advised to steer well clear of it. First and foremost spread betting is incredibly risky and for tactical, short-term investors who think they know the likely direction of a stock market on a day-to-day basis.
Most statistics coming out of major spread-betting companies suggest that the vast majority of spread bets lose investors money, which helps explain why companies such as IG Index have become so incredibly successful, boasting many tens of thousands of investors actively trading, many on a daily basis, wracking up dealing charges as they take bets on the direction of the financial markets.
The specific risks to look out for include:
Unlimited losses: Therefore ensure you make use of stop losses and other risk-control measures.
Wide bid-offer spreads: Spread-bet brokers make their money from the spread; the bid-offer prices quoted are often wider than if trading the cash product.
Credit offered: If you have a good credit rating, spread betters offer credit accounts. Avoid like the plague!

Advantages of spread betting
Join a trading community committed to your success
Speculate on falling markets. When you spread bet, you don't physically buy the instrument on which you are taking a position. You instead speculate on whether you expect prices to rise or fall. This means that if you think the price of a particular instrument is going to fall, you can go short (sell) the product and if you think prices are going to rise, you go long (buy).
No stamp duty. Unlike traditional share trading , you don't have to pay stamp duty when you spread bet because you are not buying the underlying product. Instead, you take a position based on whether you expect the price of that product to rise or fall.
Profits are tax free*. Spread betting profits are exempt from capital gains tax (CGT) in the UK. However, tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and tax laws are subject to change.
Trade using margin. Spread betting is traded on margin (or leverage). Margin trading allows you to do more with your capital – you can open more or bigger positions than you would be able to if you had to fund the full value of the position. For example, if the margin rate for a product is 5%, and you wanted to place a bet worth £200, you would only use £10 from your available account balance to open your position. Remember, however, that spread betting using margin can increase your losses as well as profits as they are relative to the full value of the position.
Risk management. We offer a number of risk management tools, including stop-loss orders . A stop-loss order may help you manage your exposure by setting a price level beyond which you are not prepared to risk any more of your capital on a position. When used effectively, a stop-loss order should automatically close your position if the price of the relevant instrument moves against you and reaches the price level where you wish to exit that position. It's important to remember that regular and trailing stop-losses may not protect you from market gapping or slippage. For 100% certainty that your stop-loss will be executed at the exact price you want, you can use guaranteed stop-loss orders, for a small premium charge. Other risk-management features include trailing stop-loss orders and take-profit market orders .
Access to thousands of global instruments. Spread betting can be a cost-efficient way to speculate on new markets. We offer prices on thousands of shares, plus currencies, indices, commodities and treasuries from across the globe. View our full range of spread betting markets .
Commission-free trading. Spread betting is exempt from many of the costs that you face when you trade shares with a stock broker. For example, there is no commission, stamp duty or capital gains tax to pay. As a company, we are remunerated through the spread we offer on each product. Learn more about spread betting spreads .
24-hour trading. You can spread bet on a huge number of forex pairs 24 hours a day, from Sunday evening through to Friday night. We also offer many indices, commodities and treasuries which are almost tradable around the clock, bar a short break. For example, the UK 100 is available to trade between 1am on Mondays and 9pm on Fridays, apart from two breaks between 9.15pm and 9.30pm, and 10pm to 11pm.
Trade anywhere. You can access our desktop application, online platform and mobile application to spread bet on the go. With cross-device functionality, you can open a trade on your desktop, and close the trade hours later on your mobile device. Our apps also feature fully interactive charts, with over 40 technical indicators. See all features of our mobile trading app .

How can I hedge with spread betting?
When you hold a short to mid-term investment, spread betting can be used as a tool to help offset any losses from poorly performing assets in your investment portfolio. Long-term investors tend to avoid hedging as part of their strategy, as long-term investors are less concerned by short-term fluctuations. To get started, try out a spread betting demo account to practise your hedging strategies.
To get started, open a demo account to access our trading platform. Once your account is open, and you have accessed the platform, you can choose to trade from thousands of instruments, ‘buy’ or ‘sell’ with order tickets, and implement risk-management conditions. For a more detailed analysis, see our guide on spread betting for beginners .
*Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances. Tax law can change or may differ in a jurisdiction other than the UK.
