GameStop (GME) and AMC Entertainment (AMC) have seen increased volatility in recent weeks fuelled by a social media buying frenzy. In response to the unprecedented jump in trading volumes, some share trading platforms have experienced outages or suspended trading on GameStop, AMC and others. We've put together this list of providers we've reviewed on our site with the latest information.

Please note that as this is a fast-moving situation these circumstances could change at any time at the discretion of the brokers. However we'll try our best to keep this as updated as possible.

Trading CFDs and forex on leverage is high-risk and you could lose more than your initial investment. It may not be suitable for every investor. Refer to the provider’s PDS and consider the risks before trading.

All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.
