Ladbrokes Launch Financial Spread Betting Service
14th June, 2010
Ladbrokes has launched their long anticipated financial spread betting service in collaboration with WorldSpreads.
The service is said to be unique, this is because it’s based on a dual platform so that it can offer a specifically customized service for both new and experienced traders. New spread bettors will be given the assurance of limiting their losses to the amount deposited into their Ladbrokes account using the standard platform; whilst the more experienced bettors can switch to the advance platform which come with trailing stops and contingent orders.
More advantages of the standard platform is free guaranteed stops, competitive spread and the chance to trade 18 of the most popular indices and currencies. The advanced platform supports long and short positions in a common market. The advanced platform extends beyond the leading indexes to many Irish, European and South African companies and their futures.
Currently, Ladbrokes has more than 765,000 active customers on its sports book and the new spread betting offering is targeted towards these customers in addition to new ones who seek an easy to understand financial spread betting service.
John O’Reilly, managing director at Ladbrokes Remote Betting and Gaming stated, ‘Ladbrokes clients now have the choice of financial spread betting using a selection of platforms tailored to their level of experience and knowledge. Ladbrokes is committed to offering our customers the widest possible range of betting and gaming opportunities and financial spread betting is the latest demonstration of that commitment.’
