What is the Best Sports Spread Betting Website?

Spread betting is growing in popularity, but for now, those who would like to place bets have limited options in front of them. The market leading names in this field are Spreadex and Sporting Index, both have an excellent reputation for offering spread betting and fixed odds betting to their players.

But how do the sites compare to each other? Here we take a look.

What is Spread Betting?

Spreadex v Sporting Index

Markets and Spreads

When it comes to sports covered, the number will always be less on a spread betting site compared to a regular sportsbook. The edge goes to Spreadex, who cover slightly more sports than Sporting Index, but only by a couple, so for most users, there will be no difference here.

The main sports, horse racing, rugby, golf, cricket and tennis are all covered on both sites, as are a few more, so there is plenty of choice for everyone.

Mobile Betting

Both sites deserve huge praise for their mobile betting platform. They both have a dedicated spread betting app that can be downloaded and added to your phone, and both have worked hard to ensure their apps are simple and easy to use.

The layout on both is similar to the desktop websites they have, and very easy so that even newcomers to mobile betting or spread betting can get to grips with things quickly and find what they way.

Promotions

Both sites offer a welcome bonus to all players and have further promotions available for players to use as they make bets in the future. However, it should be noted here that most promotions on both sites cover the sportsbook side of things, the promotions for spread betting are not available too often, so don’t expect these regularly.

Payments

Payment options for spread betting are limited on any site, so the options here look to be very small, but this is generally all you will get when you want to deposit into a spread betting account.

You have two options in front of you, the first is to deposit using a debit card, while the second is to send a bank transfer across to the company, which they will then add to your account. Some will find this a little disappointing, but these are pretty much the only ways open for spread betting right now.

Conclusion

Spread betting continues to rise and both Spreadex and Sporting Index offer a high quality spread service to their players, alongside also offering a sportsbook, if you are looking to bet in both ways.

These two offer a similar quality service, both are very strong, and if you are looking to choose between the two, this will likely come down to a personal choice. Is there a particular site that you prefer to use, or an app that appeals to you more?

Small differences are there, but nothing that makes either site stand out as being the clear best, so if you are choosing between them, choose the one that makes you feel most comfortable.
