How this is measured
Google Ads reports how many times a month people in the UK searched each platform’s brand terms, and the platforms are ranked on that figure alone.
A term counts for a platform only when that platform’s own website holds the first organic Google result for it in the UK; bare brand words that any company could own are left out.
A month-on-month change prints only where the previous month reached 1,000 searches, because Google rounds smaller volumes.
The figures are Google’s for September 2026, read on 15 October 2026, and the first-result check was run on 15 October 2026.
These are Spreadex’s ratings on the platforms below, each read on the date shown and stated in that platform’s own scale.

Spreadex Spread Betting FAQs
Does Spreadex Offer Guaranteed Stop-Loss Orders?
Yes, with one condition attached. A guaranteed stop at Spreadex can only be set when you open the trade, so it cannot be added to a position that is already running. Every guaranteed stop carries a premium.
Does Spreadex Charge An Inactivity Fee?
No. Spreadex publishes no inactivity charge, which matters if you trade in bursts rather than continuously.
Is Spreadex The Same Company As Its Sports Spread Betting Business?
It is one company running two products. This review covers the financial spread betting account only. We hold no data on the sports side and publish no assessment of it, so nothing on this page is a statement about that product.
Opening A Spreadex Spread Betting Account
If you came here for one market rather than for the account, our pages on spread betting indices and share spread betting cover how those bets are priced. A spread betting loss cannot be set against other gains, since no allowable losses arise, and for most UK retail traders the position depends on your individual circumstances, and the tax rules for spread betting cover the detail.
64% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider.
Your capital is at risk. Spread betting is leveraged, so losses can exceed the amount you set out to risk on a bet. This page is not financial or tax advice.

Updated . Updated on 1 Nov 2026: Everything drawn from the August 2026 tests of order execution, the apps and customer service left this Spreadex review alongside their results, because they could not be verified against account records; the Customer Service mark is unchanged at 9/10, resting on the 26 Aug 2026 scoring sheet alone, and the score stays at 95/100.
