Can You Use Polymarket in the UK?
Polymarket operates with geoblocking restrictions for UK-based IP addresses — however, UK-based traders gain full access to the identical Polymarket order book via PolyGram, a UK-compliant interface offering zero trading commissions, email-based authentication, and complete USDC settlement across the Polygon blockchain.
This walkthrough covers all essential stages: establishing your account, funding your balance, executing trades, and cashing out your returns.
Step 1: Create a PolyGram Account
Head to polygram.ink and select Get Started. Register via your email — a cryptocurrency wallet is not necessary to begin. Confirmation completes in fewer than two minutes. PolyGram operates across more than 30 regional languages and functions seamlessly throughout the United Kingdom.
KYC Requirements
PolyGram permits unrestricted access for up to $1,500 across your total deposit history without identity verification. Beyond this amount, standard identity documentation becomes mandatory. Verification typically concludes in 2-5 minutes using either your passport or UK driving licence.
Step 2: Deposit Funds
Both Polymarket and PolyGram operate using USDC — a dollar-pegged stablecoin running on the Polygon network. Traders in the UK can choose from multiple funding pathways:
- Purchase USDC on-chain — PolyGram partners with fiat gateways that process UK payment cards and electronic bank transfers (Faster Payments, Open Banking protocols)
- Move USDC from a trading platform — Withdraw USDC via Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance directly to your PolyGram Polygon wallet
- Klarna instalment payments — Accessible through PolyGram's fiat gateway for qualifying UK residents
The entry threshold stands at $10. Your balance becomes available within 1-3 minutes following Polygon network settlement.
Step 3: Find and Trade Markets
PolyGram grants access to Polymarket's comprehensive order book organised into four primary segments:
- Politics — British parliamentary votes, American presidential contests, European legislative matters, international tensions
- Crypto — Bitcoin and Ethereum price milestones, blockchain improvements, government regulation
- Sports — English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FIFA World Cup, American leagues
- World Events — Financial trends, technological breakthroughs, cultural news, other categories
Every contract displays a YES quote (representing implied likelihood) and a NO quote. The trading sequence follows these steps:
- Select a contract and examine the live pricing
- Input your wager amount in USDC
- Choose YES (outcome occurs) or NO (outcome does not occur)
- Authorise the transaction — execution happens instantly via the Polymarket CLOB
Step 4: Monitor Your Positions
The portfolio dashboard displays your active holdings alongside continuous valuation adjustments and unrealised gains or losses. You retain the ability to exit positions ahead of settlement to secure profits or minimise losses before final determination.
Step 5: Withdraw Your Winnings
Upon market conclusion, USDC payouts transfer automatically into your PolyGram wallet, ordinarily within sixty minutes of official confirmation. Extracting funds requires these actions:
- Navigate to your account wallet and select Withdraw
- Specify a Polygon USDC destination (your brokerage account or self-custody wallet)
- First-time addresses need a 24-hour authorisation period — or bypass this via two-factor authentication
PolyGram imposes no extraction charges. Only standard Polygon transaction costs are deducted (usually under $0.01).
