Types of Custom Bets

All Custom Bets we offer are limited risk and provide a choice of expiry ranges to suit the short or longer-term trader.

Fast Bets

Fast Bets enable you to take a position on the future direction of a market over a very short period of time.

Decide if you think a market will be higher or lower than it currently is within your chosen timeframe – from two minutes to two hours.

Binary bets

Binary Bets are an exciting way to deal in both fast- and slow-moving markets.

Decide whether a market will be higher or lower than its current level when the bet expires. Your timeframe ranges from one hour to five days.

OneTouch

With OneTouch bets you choose a level you think your chosen market will touch before a specified expiry time.

If the market reaches this level before the bet expires, you make a profit. If it doesn't, you will lose your premium.

NoTouch

With our NoTouch bets you select the level you think a market will not touch before a specified time.

If the market touches this level during the specified timeframe, the bet closes and you lose your premium. If it doesn't, you profit.

Binary range

With Binary Range bets you define a range of strike prices you believe the market will settle between at a chosen expiry time.

If the market is within your range when the option expires, you make a profit. If it is outside at expiry, you lose
your premium.
