Sporting Index: Britain's Spread Betting Specialists

Sporting Index has been at the forefront of UK sports spread betting since the 1990s, giving punters a fundamentally different way to engage with sport. Rather than simply backing a winner at fixed odds, spread betting lets you trade on the outcome of an event — and your winnings (or losses) grow in proportion to how right or wrong your prediction turns out to be.

It's a format that rewards knowledge. If you predict that a Premier League team will score more than the spread suggests and they go on to win 4–0, you don't just collect a fixed return — you benefit from every additional goal. The same principle applies to cricket run totals, golf scores, Formula 1 finishing positions and dozens of other sporting metrics.

Over 25 Years of Expertise

Few UK bookmakers can match the depth of experience that Sporting Index brings to its markets. The business has weathered multiple economic cycles, regulatory changes and shifts in how British punters consume sport, and it's emerged with a sharper product each time. That longevity is a mark of trust — both from its customers and from regulators.

Sporting Index is fully licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), reflecting the dual nature of spread betting as both a sporting and financial product. This dual regulation means customers benefit from some of the most robust protections available to UK bettors.

Fixed Odds Alongside the Spread

For those who prefer the certainty of traditional betting, Sporting Index also offers competitive fixed-odds markets on football, horse racing, cricket, rugby and more. The ability to switch between spread and fixed-odds betting from a single account makes Sporting Index a uniquely versatile platform for punters who like to mix their approach depending on the event.

Responsible Gambling

Because spread betting carries greater risk than fixed-odds betting, Sporting Index places particular emphasis on responsible gambling. Customers can set exposure limits, take cooling-off periods and access a full suite of self-management tools directly from their account. External support is also available through GamCare and BeGambleAware at any time.
