St Albans betting firm Spreadex has been honoured again, gaining two accolades in a prestigious national online financial awards.

The spread betting company, based in Grosvenor Road, won the categories for ‘Best Online Spread Betting Service’ and ‘Best Online Sports Betting Service’ at the 2009 MoneyAM Online Financial Awards.

The recognition follows Spreadex being named as runner up for ‘Online Betting Company of the Year’ at the Betview Awards in March.

Spreadex spokesman Andy MacKenzie said: ‘These are particularly pleasing awards to win as votes were collated from thousands of traders and sports bettors across the UK rather than by industry representatives.

‘Spread betting is still relatively unknown compared to fixed odds betting but we are seeing more and more people opening accounts with us as they look to try out alternative investment opportunities during the recession.

‘We have a number of improvements planned to help advance both our financial and sports betting offerings so hopefully we may see more awards heading our way in the future!’

The MoneyAM awards are now in their second year offering retail traders the opportunity to formally praise companies who have served them well. This year 5,229 votes were cast, up from 3,850 in 2008.

Steve Ray, sales manager at MoneyAM, said: ‘This is truly recognition worthy of receiving as the winners were decided by MoneyAM users who cast their votes for the companies they believe deserved to win. Clearly, Spreadex have made a very positive impression on our users and their clients, in these categories.’ The full list of MoneyAM award winners can be found here http://www.moneyam.com/moneyamofa/winners.html
