Customer Service Advisor

**ABOUT US**

Spreadex has been operating for 20 years as a sports and financial spread betting provider. The business expanded to offer fixed odds betting in 2010, casino betting in 2011 and CFD trading in 2017. Spreadex is the only global operator to offer all of these services under one brand.

After 20 years of sustained profits, we're now looking to take the next step and materially grow the business in the next 5 years on both the sports and financials side.
