How to use this list
Treat every entry as unverified until you've done two things: looked the firm up on the FCA register (search the name, check permissions and any warnings), and read the loss-rate disclosure on its homepage. Then apply the six checks. Product line-ups change; confirm spread betting availability on the firm's own site.
Listed alphabetically; inclusion is not endorsement and omission is not criticism — this is a starting list of prominent firms, not an exhaustive register. We have no commercial relationship with any firm listed and receive nothing if you open an account. Reviewed 8 July 2026.
The rule that outranks every guide: never bet more than you can afford to lose.
