There are many more great reasons for betting at Capital Spreads:

Tight Spreads
We keep our spreads tight to give you more room for profit. Just compare our spreads with those of our competitors - you could be more profitable by betting with us. In addition, our spreads are tight all year round; the spreads you see are not special offers, but permanently good value.

No commission or fees
We make our profit from the spread we add to underlying market quotes.

Tax Free Profits
All profits made from Spread Betting are tax free (tax law can change).




Gearing
Spread Betting is a leverage product, which means that you can take larger positions with less initial deposit than if you bought the actual underlying product (i.e. bought or sold the real shares). A £10 bet is the equivalent buying 1000 shares (for UK equities) and you can bet from as little as £1/$1/€1 per point with an initial deposit of just £30. Spread betting means you can leave your capital in the bank to work harder for you.

Limit Your Risk
Spread betting is a high risk activity, but at Capital Spreads the automated stop-loss we provide should help to protect you from all but the sharpest of market movements. Your stop-loss will always be activated, but, if a market/share price moves suddenly and the market "gaps" it may not be filled at the exact stop-level that you requested. Therefore, there is a risk that you may lose money than you intended. See our Beginners Guide for a full explanation.

One Stop Shop
You can speculate on a wide variety of products using just one account, from Indices and Shares to Currencies and Commodities. What’s more, you can make your bets in just one currency - either GBP, USD or EUR.

Great Customer Service
Don’t think just because our spreads are better value that you will get a lesser service. Our customer service is second to none. If you want to speak to us, just pick up the phone +44 (0)20 7600 0122 or email (admin@CapitalSpreads.com) us - we'll be pleased to help.




Spread betting offers many benefits, but it's important to note that it carries a high level of risk to your capital, so you should only bet with money you can afford to lose. Whilst we provide compulsory stop-losses, they are not guaranteed and it is possible for you to lose more than your initial deposit.
