Who are Sporting Index?

Sporting Index is unique in that we are dedicated solely to providing sports spread betting. We are recognised as the world leader in its field, having captured approximately 70% of the UK's sports spread betting market. We pride ourselves on our innovation and try to lead the market whenever possible. Here are some of our key milestones:

In 1992 Sporting Index was founded with just 5 members of staff and 50 clients in the UK. The company now caters for well over 45,000 spread bettors worldwide with an expanded team of approximately 150 staff, half of which are based on the trading floor.

In 2000 we launched the first truly interactive sports spread betting website, www.sportingindex.com, and we now take 80% of all our bets online.

In August 2001 we launched the facility for clients to create their own customised spread betting markets via our Multiples service. This gives clients the ability to pick two teams/players to take each other on in a mythical match bet (regardless of whether they are actually playing each other).

In November 2003 we launched our 'Bet on the Move' service. It was the UK's first java-based mobile betting application. Sporting Index clients can monitor all our prices, place bets, view open bets, close bets, deposit and withdraw money via their mobile phone or Blackberry. Find out more about our award-winning mobile application here.

In August 2004 we launched the world's first spread betting games, enabling clients to bet on a wide range of exciting casino and sports games all based on the thrilling concept of spread betting. Click here to experience our games.

In October 2006 we launched our own poker website, www.sportingindexpoker.co.uk.

In March 2007 we introduced a dedicated Irish website www.sportingindex.ie specifically for our Irish customers. We provide markets on every Irish horse race as well as all major GAA matches, League of Ireland football, Irish Rugby etc.

In September 2007 we won 'Mobile Operator of the Year' e-Gaming Review award for our mobile betting product, 'Bet on the Move'.

In February 2009 we re-launched the Sporting Index website incorporating an advanced betting interface, faster live pricing display and expanded educational content.
