If Intertrader were a racehorse, it would be a very good choice to place your bets. This is because Intertrader is the product of the combination of two of the largest and most successful families in online gaming. The merger in 2011 of the Bwin family and Partygaming to form the bwin.party family created the worlds largest online gaming company. Not only does this mean that your cash is absolutely safe but also that these guys really know what they are doing.
Intertrader, with its online gaming roots, takes a slightly different perspective to financial betting than some if its peers in the industry. The company claim that they base their services on two simple aims; to provide a straightforward and trustworthy service which is available to all. They place a lot of emphasis on making financial betting low-cost and try to distance themselves from any form of exclusivity and stuffiness that is often associated with financial trading.
Bonus
In keeping with Intertrader’s promise to make financial betting available to all at a low cost they have a number of very attractive introductory and membership offers. For new clients they frequently run offers of cash bonuses for those who open an account and deposit funds. Although these offers are often time-limited and change regularly, past bonuses have been based on a 10% top-up of your initial deposit up to a maximum of £1000. Admittedly, many new traders will not be pumping more than £10,000 as an initial deposit but this is a great incentive even if you are going to make a more modest investment.
Further to their introductory bonus, Intertrader also offers a unique saving service known as the Tradeback scheme. This allows traders to claim back up to 10% of their fees each month (5% if your fees are between £500-£1999) which can be a substantial help for frequent traders. They also provide a cash-incentive for current members to refer a friend with a bonus of £100 each for the new client and member once Intertrader has been alerted of this referral.
Software
Intertrader provides a comprehensive range of markets to trade. These include forex, stocks, indices and commodities to trade. The platform itself is highly flexible and entirely web-based, they are also one of the few brokers to offer a specialist Metatrader4 platform alongside their standard platform and mobile trading solutions. Since the company hinge so much on simplicity and accessibility to betting on financial markets, the platform is very easy to navigate. They allow traders to create custom watchlists and provide direct access to breaking market news, trading signals and financial charts. Trading positions can be opened easily and a range of tools are offered to minimise the risk of any losses including a unique feature which builds in an automatic stop-loss to every position. This feature is a particularly reassuring sign of Intertrader’s commitment to responsible risk management and is another feature of their gaming background which they have successfully incorporated into their financial betting services.
Support
In the fiercely competitive world of financial betting providers Intertrader has geared a lot of its services towards client satisfaction. This has helped it to become an award-winning operator and its customer service reflects how this has been achieved. The customer care team is not available round-the-clock but they do offer very friendly and incredibly pro-active support to any problems or queries between 8am-7pm Monday to Friday. Their telephone trading service is available 24 hours a day throughout the week.
