Can You Use Polymarket in the UK?

Polymarket is geoblocked for UK IP addresses — but UK traders can access the exact same Polymarket order book through PolyGram, a UK-accessible front-end with 0% trading fees, email login, and full USDC settlement on Polygon.

This guide walks through every step: account creation, depositing funds, placing trades, and withdrawing profits.

Step 1: Create a PolyGram Account

Visit polygram.ink and click Get Started. Sign up using your email address — no crypto wallet required at this stage. Verification takes under two minutes. PolyGram supports 30+ languages and is fully accessible from the UK.

KYC Requirements

PolyGram offers no-KYC access up to $1,500 in lifetime deposits. Above that threshold, a standard ID verification is required. The process takes 2-5 minutes using your passport or driving licence.

Step 2: Deposit Funds

Polymarket and PolyGram settle all contracts in USDC — a US dollar stablecoin on the Polygon network. UK traders have several deposit options:

  • Buy USDC directly — PolyGram integrates with on-ramp providers accepting UK debit cards and bank transfers (Faster Payments, Open Banking)
  • Transfer from an exchange — Send USDC from Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance to your PolyGram Polygon wallet address
  • Klarna — Available via PolyGram's fiat on-ramp for eligible UK users

Minimum deposit is $10. Funds appear in your account within 1-3 minutes once the Polygon transaction confirms.

Step 3: Find and Trade Markets

PolyGram surfaces Polymarket's full order book across four categories:

  • Politics — UK elections, US elections, EU policy, geopolitical events
  • Crypto — BTC and ETH price targets, protocol upgrades, regulatory decisions
  • Sports — Premier League, Champions League, World Cup, US sports
  • World Events — Economics, science, entertainment, miscellaneous

Each market shows a YES price (the market's probability estimate) and a NO price. To trade:

  1. Open any market and review the current odds
  2. Enter your stake in USDC
  3. Select YES (event happens) or NO (event doesn't happen)
  4. Confirm the order — it executes on the Polymarket CLOB instantly

Step 4: Monitor Your Positions

Your portfolio page shows all open positions with real-time mark-to-market profit and loss. You can close positions early to lock in gains or cut losses before the market resolves.

Step 5: Withdraw Your Winnings

Resolved markets pay out USDC automatically to your PolyGram balance, typically within an hour of the final result. To withdraw:

  1. Go to your wallet and tap Withdraw
  2. Enter a Polygon USDC address (your exchange or personal wallet)
  3. New addresses require a 24-hour security whitelist — or skip the wait using 2FA

There are no withdrawal fees charged by PolyGram. Standard Polygon gas fees apply (typically under $0.01).
