Description
Register an account with Spreadex and place a £25 fixed odds bet on any sport. You’ll receive £25 in free fixed odds bets, plus 50 free spins on Starburst.
Sporting Index is owned by Spreadex. Therefore, if you already have a Sporting Index account, it’s best to wait a while before signing up with Spreadex.
In addition to the £25 in free fixed odds bets, Spreadex will also give you 4 x £5 free spread bets. Spread betting differs from regular fixed odds betting, the biggest difference being spread betting losses can exceed deposits. However, the free bets are safe to use on the ‘BUY’ options. Be aware that if you decide to activate spread betting on your account, it will likely trigger certain financial checks.
