Direct answer
Is IG regulated?
IG Group companies are long-established and commonly include an FCA-authorised UK path among other regional entities. Confirm the exact company on your agreement and verify it on the relevant register (e.g. FCA Register for UK). Product set (spread betting vs CFDs vs shares) differs by entity. BrokerMafia does not endorse IG.
Licenses and entities
Match the legal entity on your account agreement to a public register row. Brand names are not licenses.

UK spread betting angle
UK searchers comparing spread betting platforms often shortlist IG — still run the FCA Register check. See /best-spread-betting-platform-uk/.
Verify before you send funds
- Read the legal entity on the account agreement (not just the brand logo).
- Look up that entity on the issuing regulator’s public register.
- Read the local PDS / FSG / Key Information Document for client-money and product rules.
- Test a small withdrawal before scaling size.
- Ignore star ratings, paid testimonials, and “trust indexes”.

A listing or keyword page is an index/education record. It is not a license confirmation, a rating, or an endorsement by the regulator or by BrokerMafia. Indexed ≠ licensed ≠ recommended.
