With our Plus Account you can enjoy dramatically lower deposits and our tightest dealing spreads on a range of popular markets.
Lower deposits mean that the cost of opening a bet is substantially reduced. To open a position you multiply your bet per point by our deposit factor. For example, a bet on Daily Wall Street at £2 per point would previously have required a deposit of £800 to open. But on a Plus Account, this now requires an initial deposit of just £200.
The new, low deposit requirements apply to major indices, a selection of popular forex pairs and some commodities. Please see the full list below.
