FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ACCOUNT OPENING

How do I open an account?

To begin trading today, please complete our online application form, which you can access if you click here. The form is completely secure and will take you about 10 minutes to complete. We then conduct an electronic check to confirm your identity and address. You will know if your account has been activated within ½ hour of applying (assuming you do so between 0800 and 1730, Monday to Friday).

If you are a UK resident, and we are unable to confirm that you reside at the address you have produced in your application form, we will require additional information in the form of an original, recent bank statement or utility bill. If you are a non-UK resident, we will require proof of your address AND a copy of your passport/driving license. You can fax these documents to us on +44 (0) 20 7456 7013, but then please post them to us at your earliest convenience. Please click here for contact details.

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. Click here for a full risk warning.
