What they say:
'Tradefair Spreads is home to one of the biggest UK based online financial spread betting platforms. Our simple platform allows customers to place spread bets on thousands of financial instruments safe in the knowledge that we offer some of the tightest spreads on one of the most reliable spread betting platforms.
Spread Betting has many advantages over other forms of financial trading, partly due to the laws governing financial spread betting in the UK: it's tax free*; there are no broker fees and our customers pay no commission on their financial spread bets.
At Tradefair Spreads we make no bones about the risks involved in financial spread betting; whilst a spread trader can make big profits very quickly it is equally possible for losses to swiftly occur. This is why we offer our clients a high degree of support and invaluable features such as automatic stop losses, 24 hour markets, spread betting guides, tutorials, chart pattern recognition software, an expert financial calendar and the ability to trade on margin. Furthermore, if you're not yet comfortable opening a real money account, we can offer you a no risk financial spread betting demo account.'
