independentinvestor.com/cfd/cfds-vs-sp… Image
1. Both, spread betting and CFDs, offer a wide range of markets to trade; you literally can trade practically anything with both instruments - indices, shares, commodities, cryptos, forex, etc. It's incredible, you can trade almost anything.
2. Tax Treatment. That's where it gets interesting as both offer tax advantages as you don't actually hold physical assets but and this is a big but, there's absolutely no tax on your profits from financial spread betting.

Why is forex trading so popular in the UK?
We can see that forex trading is still a thing in many countries but why is it still so popular in Great Britain in particular? What is that makes Brits trade forex? Image
1. London is the financial capital of Europe. Whether you like it or not, London is still there and kicking. This makes the UK the major hub for financial institutions and forex brokers in particular.

2. FCA regulation. After the Brexit so many expected forex and other brokers to leave London and move somewhere else. What really happened? More international brokerages applied for the FCA regulation. Like it or not... FCA is the name in the industry.

It's no surprise that in these countries broker competition is fierce. Image
United Kingdom: it is no surprise that CFDs are very popular in the UK. British have a rich history of investing money in shares and other financial instruments and CFDs offer an easy way to trade a wide range of products.

Australia: it's hard to say why CFDs are so popular there, maybe it's because of the close ties to the UK but it is a fact that CFDs are popular in Australia.
It is no surprise that it's home to some of the best and most trusted CFD brokers in the world.

Research
You only want to deal with a good broker so it would be a good idea to check forums and review sites to see what other spread bettors have to say about companies you are considering. It will take just a few minutes of your time but will pay off in the long run.
Spreads
Broker market is very competitive and spread traders surely benefit from this as spread betting providers had to cut their spreads to almost 0. If you're a long term trader you also have to pay overnight financing on top of spreads.
