Life after Paddypowertrader

Paddypowertrader stopped operating on 8 April 2011. Paddy Power, the Irish bookmaker, decided to withdraw from the financial spread betting market. Perhaps the profit margins just weren’t there.

Nevertheless if you liked your Paddypowertrader account or were interested in opening a Paddypowertrader account then FinancialSpreads.com is a very similar alternative.

FinancialSpreads.com use the same trading platform, offer the same prices, offer the same 2,000+ markets, the same customer service etc.

We’ve added a quick review below and a full review here: Financial Spreads.
