Risk warning: Spread bets and CFDs are complex, leveraged products — most retail accounts lose money. Check any provider's published loss rate, and never risk money you can't afford to lose.

Major CFD-only firms

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.
