Spreadbetting At WorldSpreads

Company Profile

The aim of the WorldSpreads Group is to provide high quality sports and financial betting services to a global audience. The Group had its beginnings in Dublin in 2000 as World Spreads offering sports spread betting and sports fixed odds and on-line gaming services. Extending its service in 2003 to financial markets, the company grew quickly to become the leading provider of spread betting services in Ireland. With much of its business also coming from the UK, in 2004 the Group established a London office, obtaining UK regulatory authorisation from the Financial Services Authority and saw the birth of the WorldSpreads brand and the establishment of the two sides to the Group business structure.

In order to ensure the highest standards of service, and to drive its expansion to an international audience, the Group has assembled a team with an envious track record in the industry. Its international expansion is geared around finding the best business partners in new territories who can ensure that the product offering is adapted for the needs of the local customer bases.
