CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 64% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Spreadex has a long-standing history as a London-based, FCA-regulated broker. Spreadex's multi-asset offering includes forex, CFDs, spread betting, and options. Traders at Spreadex also gain access to the award-winning TradingView platform along with decent research and educational content. That said, its overall offering is plain vanilla and its lack of additional regulatory licenses brings its Trust Score down.

ForexBrokers.com has been reviewing online forex brokers for over eight years, and our reviews are the most cited in the industry. Each year, we collect thousands of data points and publish tens of thousands of words of research. Here's how we test.

FAQs

What is Spreadex?

Founded in 1999, Spreadex is a U.K.-based FCA-regulated broker offering forex trading via CFDs. Though Spreadex offers sports betting and is regulated by the Gambling Commission, the broker's gambling business is separate from its financial trading offering.

For the purpose of this review, we have focused on the broker's financial trading segment. ForexBrokers.com does not review sports betting products (not to be confused with spread betting, which is a financial instrument available to U.K.-based traders).

What is the minimum deposit for Spreadex?

The minimum deposit is $0 at Spreadex. This means you can open a live account and deposit any amount you’d like before you start trading. You can also choose not to deposit funds if you’d like to test the platform without risking your money. Unfortunately, demo accounts are not available at Spreadex except through the TradingView platform.

How do you withdraw money from Spreadex?

To withdraw money from your Spreadex account, either call Customer Service or navigate to the “Withdraw Funds” section under the “My Accounts” tab within the client portal. Funds can be sent back via the original payment method. It’s worth noting that the minimum withdrawal from Spreadex is 50 GBP. If your account balance is lower than 50 GBP, you must withdraw the full balance. One more note: Card withdrawals at Spreadex have a limit of 25,000 GBP per withdrawal, except for Mastercard which is 2,500 GBP at a time.

Is Spreadex a betting exchange?

Spreadex does offer sports betting, though it’s segmented away from its financial trading services. That said, it’s important to note that within Spreadex’s financial trading site, which offers forex and CFDs, spread betting is also available. Spread betting is a tax-free form of financial speculation similar to CFDs (only available to U.K.-based traders) and should not be confused with gambling or sports betting.

Can I trade forex and bet on sports with the same Spreadex account?

The only way to trade forex and sports betting from within the same account at Spreadex is to open a Spreadex professional account.

Forex Risk Disclaimer

With respect to margin-based foreign exchange trading, off-exchange derivatives, and cryptocurrencies, there is considerable exposure to risk, including but not limited to, leverage, creditworthiness, limited regulatory protection and market volatility that may substantially affect the price, or liquidity of a currency or related instrument. It should not be assumed that the methods, techniques, or indicators presented in these products will be profitable, or that they will not result in losses. Read more on forex trading risks.
