Cantor Gaming signs 188Bet

Cantor Fitzgerald Group’s Cantor Gaming & Wagering Ltd UK (Cantor) and 188BET have collaborated to launch a Financial Fixed Odds (FFO) betting product via an integrated platform provided by Cantor to 188BET customers.

“We are excited to announce our latest Financial Fixed Odds partnership with 188BET. Financial betting has become increasingly popular and we are pleased to partner with a market leader like 188BET to bring their customers the very best in financial betting technology,” said Lee M. Amaitis, chief executive officer of Cantor Gaming & Wagering Ltd (UK).

Nigel Singer, Managing Director at 188BET added: “We are constantly looking at ways to enhance the customer experience on our site and we feel that this Financial Fixed Odds betting product is an important addition to our current product suite.”

In related news, Cantor Fitzgerald Group subsidiary Cantor Index sold its non-equity client base to Spreadex for an undisclosed consideration.

Spreadex said the transfer of all financial spreadbetting clients from Cantor Index’ platform is expected to be complete later this week, strengthening its position as one of the UK’s most prominent spreadbetting providers.

“We are delighted to welcome clients from Cantor Index and hope they enjoy trading on our vast range of financial markets as well as on our sports spreadbetting and sports fixed-odds betting platform,” said Jonathan Hufford, Managing Director for Spreadex.

Spreadex took over rival client lists ShortsandLongs.com and MF Global last year and plans further expansion going into 2014.
