The spread betting companies all offer something different. We are not authorised to provide financial advice, arrangements or investments and for that reason we cannot say which is the best spread betting company.
Below we compare the spreads for markets such as the FTSE 100, GBP/USD, Gold and Oil.
We also compare services such as new account offers, 24 hour trading and automatic stop loss orders.
Each of the firms listed below is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.
This list is not meant to be inclusive; spread betting services are also available with companies not listed here.

- ‡ Some markets are only available in the reverse spread eg JPY/USD rather than USD/JPY
