So a video-ad for these guys popped up on yourtube. Normally, I click skip, but as the Mrs and I were talking about something similar a few days ago, this one grabbed my attention

http://www.trading212.com/

I am sure people on here have experience of these types of trading platforms. Does anyone use trading 212? Recommended? If not, what is a better alternative? I dont want to deal with brokers etc... just something in the evenings for a bit of fun. If I win, I win, if I lose, i'm not standing outside my house with a hat in my hand.

TIA

If you are serious about leveraged FX trading for fun.
Either do it with a dummy account to save yourself ££.

OR if you have to do it with real cash why not use market leaders such as:
IG Index https://www.ig.com/uk
CMC Markets http://www.cmcmarkets.co.uk/en

At least they are regulated by the FCA (who is based in the UK).

Also, as I have learned the hard way - if you do any serious spread betting at least to start, I would strongly recommend a GUARANTEED stop. It has been worth the extra spread.
And I set up an account that won't let me bet more than my account value.
In other words, I place bets with guaranteed stops such that if/when I get stopped out the loss is lower than my account balance.

That way I can't lose more than 100%. (Until I fill the account again!)

Look at trading futures. So much more clearer and transparent, you can use order flow and volume, you aren't trading against your broker. Sure you don't have as much leverage, but that's a good thing. CME do forex futures.
