Who Runs This Site
Justin Grossbard and Noam Korbl founded Spread-Bet.co.uk in 2024. The two had founded the broker comparison network CompareForexBrokers together in 2014, and this site is part of that network. Spread-Bet.co.uk is owned by The Trustee for Compare Forex Brokers Unit Trust, ABN 49 909 258 897, a fixed unit trust based in Victoria, Australia. Noam runs operations and the commercial side from Melbourne.
David Levy is Head of Content at CompareForexBrokers. A "Fact checked by" line naming him appears on a page only where a dated sign-off record exists, and on 9 Oct 2026 none did. The production note sets out how pages are made.
Each of the three has a page here setting out what they do, the qualifications they hold and where to check them: Justin Grossbard, Noam Korbl, David Levy.
What We Publish That Is Our Own
- The monthly spread read. We read each provider's own UK site for the same nine currency pairs and record the spread figures it publishes for spread betting, so the comparison is like for like rather than each broker’s best market on its best day. The current set was read on 18 Sep 2026. Our spread betting statistics page publishes it.
- The FCA entity layer. The authorised company and firm reference number behind every brand we cover, because the brand on the website is frequently not the company on the register. Our review of UK rules for spread betting lists the fourteen brokers we rank, including the brands whose register entry returns something other than what you searched for.
- Three data files. We publish the monthly spread read (18 Sep 2026), the retail-loss disclosures of the 14 ranked brokers, each read from the provider’s own UK site on 14 Oct 2026, and the broker trust reads of 19 Sep 2026, covering FCA register details, client money segregation, negative balance protection and FSCS cover. All three sit on our downloadable datasets page.
Every account is marked out of 10 on six criteria: trading cost, trading experience, trading platform, trust, range of markets and customer service. The score out of 100 is the six marks added together and scaled to 100, with no criterion weighted, and the full method sits on our methodology page.
When We Get It Wrong
If you find something on this site that is out of date or wrong, tell us through the contact form. Our terms and conditions cover the rest of our policies.
How We Make Money
Spread Bet UK does not charge you to use it. The site is funded by commercial partnerships with a hand-picked set of brokers, on a retainer basis rather than per referral. We are not paid more when you choose one partner over another, so the ranking has nothing commercial riding on its order.
Where Learn Money And Findependence Day Stand Now
Learnmoney.co.uk now redirects permanently to our spread betting guide, and content published on learnmoney.co.uk before the domain redirected here sits outside our terms. Findependenceday.com answers "410 Gone" and no longer serves pages, having previously redirected to compareforexbrokers.com/ca/ and never to this site. Old /learnmoney/ addresses on this site lead to the same guide, and old /findependenceday/ addresses lead to the homepage.
Find Us Elsewhere
Our video reviews of UK spread betting accounts are on the Spread Bet UK YouTube channel, and several are embedded on the pages they belong to. These are the accounts that are ours:
Spread Bet UK also has an entry in Wikidata, the open structured database, which records the site as a UK spread betting platform comparison site. Our parent network CompareForexBrokers has one too. That network publishes a UK edition of its own at compareforexbrokers.co.uk, covering FCA-regulated forex and CFD brokers; it is the same company as the .com site, not a second one, and the three people above are the same three people there. The network also publishes an Australian edition at compareforexbrokers.com.au, which compares forex brokers regulated by ASIC.
