Financial spread betting is a leveraged derivative product that allows individuals to speculate on the price movements of financial markets, such as indices, currencies, commodities, Crypto currencies or shares without owning the underlying asset. Clients place a bet on whether the price of a chosen market will rise or fall, and their profit or loss is determined by the accuracy of that prediction and the extent of the market’s movement.

Spread betting can be tax free, Tax laws are subject to change and depend on individual circumstances. Tax law may differ in a jurisdiction other than the UK. Should you have any questions with regards to your personal tax circumstances you should seek independent professional advice.

Spread betting involves margin and leverage, therefore is a high risk product. It is primarily available to residents of the United Kingdom and Ireland and may not be permitted in other jurisdictions. Please note that Crypto currency trading on spreadbets is not available to retail traders.
