UK sports and financial betting platform regulated by FCA and Gambling Commission
Spreadex operates dual betting and trading platforms—sports betting alongside financial spread betting and CFD trading—on a .NET and C# backend (Oracle, Kafka, Elasticsearch) deployed across AWS and Azure. The tech stack reflects a regulated fintech operation managing real-time market data and trading flows. Current hiring is accelerating across compliance, finance, and legal roles, signaling intensified focus on regulatory controls and KYC due diligence—pain points flagged internally include sanctions screening and gambling-harm detection.
Spreadex is a UK-based betting and financial trading platform founded in 1999 and headquartered in St Albans.

With 51–200 employees, Spreadex employs a hybrid Microsoft stack (Microsoft 365, Teams, Azure DevOps, Entra ID) and a modern application architecture (C#, .NET, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes on AWS and Azure).
