Sporting Index - World leaders in spread betting
Summary
SportingIndex.com is the number one company for sports spread betting. This is unlike normal sports betting in that it is more high powered. The winnings, if you're lucky, can be intoxicating in their sheer amount, but the losses can be equally massive if you get it wrong, because you can potentially lose more than your original stake.
However, this site goes all out to help you get it right. There are training areas and helpful advice throughout as most of the people who arrive here are usually not overly familiar with the concept of sports spread betting.
You can open a ‘Demo’ account where you place bets as you normally would, but it's all in fun. You can win thousands, but you can't actually pocket it. However, this is an excellent way to learn about spread betting without any risk. And when you have built up your confidence levels high enough, you can try the real thing.
Sporting Index has a minimum deposit of £150 (we told you it was high powered!). However their minimum bet is the smallest to be found in the industry and they also have no maximum payout making this a serious place for the determined gambler.
Introductory and Special Offers
Open a Sporting Index account, place 5 bets (each bet must have the potential to win and lose £20 or more) and they’ll give you a free £300 Total Goals bet on any live football match. And if football isn’t usually your bet of choice, instead of the Total Goals offer you can choose £100 cash instead.
They are also currently offering a ‘Refer and Earn’ system whereby for every friend that you refer who actually signs up and plays you could claim £200 in free football bets.
Markets
Most of the major sporting events from Europe and the States are covered as well as all domestic events too. You’ll even find netball, handball and politics listed on their cool comic book style website.
Transactions and Security
Once you’re a full member at Sporting Index you can deposit funds in a number ways: by debit/credit card, cheque, bank transfer, Moneybookers or NETELLER and by bank transfer.
Sporting Index uses the very latest web standard cryptographic protocols including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt transaction data. This means your data is secure and not visible to others.
In addition, they also use Datacash, the UK's leading provider of e-commerce payment solutions, for securely processing online payments. Datacash is a market leader in its field and boasts a considerable number of high profile clients.
Mobile Betting and Apps
Sports spread betting? There’s an app for that too, courtesy of Sporting Index. It’s currently only available for iPhone though so if you’re using anything else you’ll have to visit their mobile site…which is just as good.
