In an interview conducted last month, Plus500 hinted that it may cut its sponsorship in various sports. Atlético de Madrid was not directly mentioned.

Elad Even-Chen, the CFO at Plus500, affirmed that from 2013 to 2021, 98% of profits were generated from the spread (difference between the bid and ask).

On the uptick in ARPU, Even-Chen said that the rise stemmed from England, Spain and Germany. Over $1.5 billion were deposited throughout 2021. Clients held their positions for an average of 48 hours in 2021.

Last year, Plus500 tested its premium service on several hundreds of existing clients. The premium service was given for free, including a dedicated account manager.

Additionally, the premium service is providing access to trading webinars, premium customer support, expert analysis via emails with more features to come. In February 2022, thousands of Plus500's customers were added to the premium service, free of charge.
