Firewalls

Although we have taken care to design the site to be compatible with the most popular firewall vendors, it is quite possible that specific firewall settings or configuration could limit your experience of the E*TRADE Spread Betting website. If you are using a firewall and are not sure whether it is the cause of your problem, please email us with details of the type of firewall that you have. As a simple test, you could shut down your firewall for a few seconds while you reload the E*TRADE Spread Betting site.

If you are still experiencing trouble, it is most likely that your firewall is not the root cause. If the problem is no longer evident, your firewall is most likely blocking/changing certain content. It would be a good idea to contact your firewall vendor for support.

Spread bets carry a high level of risk so you should only speculate with money you can afford to lose. Stop-losses are automatically allocated with each bet you make. All stops are not guaranteed. You can lose more than your initial deposit and stake. Before you open an account, please ensure that spread betting matches your investment objectives, familiarise yourself with the risks involved and if necessary seek independent advice.
