    Spread Betting

    A simple question that I haven't found a straight answer to through Google etc., is spread betting legal in Hong Kong?

    Cannot see why it shouldn't be, but being called betting and that being an illegal activity to most part in Hong Kong I just wondered, to be on the safe side, if there might be any restrictions in place here.

    How about Singapore anyone know what the situation is like over there?

    Thanks,

    It's illegal in Hong Kong, and the spread betting companies in the UK etc will refuse to open you an account.
