Get the email addresses and write to them. It's a question of knowing the names. then Google.

Finspreads, City Index, IG Index are three names. Other posters will send more, probably, with recommendations.

If you're using a US address I doubt anyone will open an accout for you. After all the online Poker company chief execs were arrested in last year travelling through the States, I doubt any SB managers will want to risk wearing an orange jumpsuit.

PENALTIES FOR:

S.775.082, S.775.083, S.775.084

(Below is a summary of the penalties applicable to the offenses described in the act. ".084" deals with penalties for repeted offenders and is not included below.)


Misdemeanor of the First Degree -- Up to 1 year of imprisonment and a fine of up to $1,000 or any higher amount equal to double the pecuniary gain derived from the offenses by the offender or double the pecuniary loss suffered by the victim.

Living in Florida you should know this. Your a danger upon yourself. Know the laws of the land you live in.

Surely, he knows all about this stuff? He wanted to know how to spread bet. Give him some names and let him go to the horse's mouth and find out for himself.

Splitlink, He obviously does not know this.

Did you not understand.

Spreadbetting is ILLEGAL in Florida.

Whats the point in him learning something he cannot do by law. He will not be able to open an account for spreadbetting from where he is.

If I'm right he asked "How can I open an account for spread betting in uk from usa.?, "

The answer is - You cannot legally do this. So, Dont do it. Simple.

That is not our problem. He lives there, we don't. He wants to know how to spreadbet. Maybe he's writing a book. How do we know what his intentions are?
