Can You Use Polymarket in the UK?
Polymarket restricts access from UK-based IP addresses — however, UK residents can tap into the identical Polymarket order book via PolyGram, a UK-compliant interface offering zero trading commissions, straightforward email 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 initially. Account verification completes in under 120 seconds. PolyGram supports more than 30 languages and operates without restriction throughout the United Kingdom.
KYC Requirements
PolyGram permits unrestricted trading up to $1,500 in cumulative deposits without identity verification. Beyond this limit, basic identity confirmation becomes mandatory. Verification using your passport or UK driving licence typically finishes within 2-5 minutes.
Step 2: Deposit Funds
Both Polymarket and PolyGram transact exclusively in USDC — a dollar-backed stablecoin operating on the Polygon chain. British traders can fund their accounts through multiple channels:
- Purchase USDC on-platform — PolyGram partners with fiat gateways that accept UK payment methods including debit cards and bank transfers (Faster Payments, Open Banking protocols)
- Send from a crypto exchange — Deposit USDC from Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance directly to your PolyGram Polygon wallet
- Klarna instalment option — Accessible through PolyGram's fiat gateway for qualifying UK customers
The smallest deposit allowed is $10. Your funds settle within 1-3 minutes following Polygon network confirmation.
Step 3: Find and Trade Markets
PolyGram grants access to Polymarket's comprehensive order book split into four primary segments:
- Politics — British general elections, US presidential races, European governance, international relations
- Crypto — Bitcoin and Ethereum price movements, blockchain improvements, government oversight
- Sports — English Premier League, European club football, international tournaments, American leagues
- World Events — Financial markets, scientific breakthroughs, pop culture, other categories
Every market displays a YES price (representing the market's implicit probability) alongside a NO price. Trading works as follows:
- Select a market and examine the prevailing prices
- Input your desired USDC amount
- Choose YES (the outcome materialises) or NO (the outcome does not materialise)
- Submit your order — execution happens instantly on the Polymarket CLOB
Step 4: Monitor Your Positions
Your portfolio dashboard displays all active trades alongside live unrealised gains and losses. You retain the flexibility to exit positions before settlement, enabling you to secure profits or reduce exposure ahead of market conclusion.
Step 5: Withdraw Your Winnings
Upon market settlement, USDC payouts transfer automatically to your PolyGram account balance, ordinarily within one hour of the outcome confirmation. Cashing out involves these steps:
- Access your wallet section and select Withdraw
- Specify a Polygon USDC destination (an exchange account or self-custody wallet)
- First-time addresses need a 24-hour approval window — bypass this using two-factor authentication
PolyGram imposes no withdrawal charges. Polygon network gas costs are minimal (usually under $0.01).
