Can You Use Polymarket in the UK?
Polymarket enforces geoblocking on UK-based IP addresses — however, UK residents can access the full Polymarket order book via PolyGram, a UK-compliant interface featuring zero trading commissions, email-based authentication, and complete USDC settlement across the Polygon blockchain.
This walkthrough covers the entire process: setting up your account, funding your wallet, executing trades, and cashing out your returns.
Step 1: Create a PolyGram Account
Head to polygram.ink and select Get Started. Register with your email address — you won't need a cryptocurrency wallet at the outset. Confirmation completes in roughly two minutes. PolyGram operates in over 30 languages and functions seamlessly throughout the United Kingdom.
KYC Requirements
PolyGram permits unrestricted access for deposits up to $1,500 across your account lifetime. Beyond this limit, standard identity verification becomes mandatory. Verification typically concludes in 2-5 minutes using either your passport or driving licence.
Step 2: Deposit Funds
Both Polymarket and PolyGram denominate all positions in USDC — a dollar-pegged stablecoin operating on the Polygon network. British traders have multiple funding pathways:
- Acquire USDC on-ramp — PolyGram partners with fiat gateways accepting UK debit cards and bank transfers (Faster Payments, Open Banking)
- Bridge from a crypto exchange — Transmit USDC from Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance directly to your PolyGram Polygon wallet
- Klarna payment option — Accessible through PolyGram's fiat gateway for qualifying UK customers
The smallest deposit permitted is $10. Your balance reflects the funds within 1-3 minutes following Polygon network confirmation.
Step 3: Find and Trade Markets
PolyGram displays the complete Polymarket order book segmented into four distinct sections:
- Politics — UK parliamentary contests, American presidential races, European governance, international tensions
- Crypto — Bitcoin and Ethereum price movements, blockchain developments, government regulation
- Sports — English football, European club competitions, international tournaments, American leagues
- World Events — Financial markets, technological breakthroughs, cultural phenomena, other categories
Every market displays a YES quote (reflecting the market's estimated likelihood) alongside a NO quote. Here's how to participate:
- Select a market and examine the prevailing odds
- Specify your USDC amount
- Choose YES (the outcome materialises) or NO (the outcome does not occur)
- Submit your order — execution happens instantaneously via the Polymarket CLOB
Step 4: Monitor Your Positions
Your portfolio dashboard displays all active holdings alongside instantaneous mark-to-market valuations. You may exit positions ahead of settlement to secure profits or reduce exposure following unfavourable price movements.
Step 5: Withdraw Your Winnings
Upon market conclusion, USDC payouts flow automatically into your PolyGram account, ordinarily within sixty minutes of the official outcome. For cash-out:
- Navigate to your account wallet and press Withdraw
- Supply a Polygon USDC destination (an exchange account or self-custody wallet)
- First-time addresses require a 24-hour security hold — alternatively, bypass this using two-factor authentication
PolyGram does not impose withdrawal charges. Polygon network fees remain minimal (usually under $0.01 per transaction).
