WorldSpreads and Centric Partner for Greek Launch

WorldSpreads Group plc has signed a white-label deal with Malta-based FSM Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Greece's Centric S.A, to launch a new financial spread betting service in Greece via Spreads.gr.

The launch of the new platform will see Spreads.gr customers provided with access to a number of financial instruments such as stock indices, currencies, commodities, and individual shares.

"We are excited to announce the partnership with one of the pioneering companies in a sector that is rapidly developing," said Rodolfo Odoni, CEO of Centric S.A. "We trust that this expansion in our products and services portfolio will contribute to the group's growth and profitability."

Through its Malta-based subsidiary, Centric also operates the Greek language version site of AIM-listed online gaming and betting operator Sportingbet.com.
