Markets and odds
Sporting Index prices UK and Irish racing on a standard fixed-odds book and layers its spread markets on top, letting you trade a horse’s finishing position rather than simply backing it to win or place.
Each-way terms
Each-way on the fixed-odds side uses standard UK place terms by field size. The spread product is a different way entirely to engage with a horse’s finishing position, with profit or loss scaling with the margin.
Mobile app
The app supports both fixed-odds betting and spread trading, which makes it more feature-dense than a typical sportsbook app, with a slightly steeper learning curve as a result.
Payments
Deposits and withdrawals run through debit card, PayPal and bank transfer, with spread account settlement handled separately from fixed-odds winnings.
Customer service
Support runs through live chat, phone and email, including dedicated guidance for newcomers to spread betting.
