Can You Use Polymarket in the UK?
Polymarket enforces geoblocking on UK-based IP addresses — however, UK residents can gain full access to the identical Polymarket order book via PolyGram, a UK-compliant interface offering zero trading fees, email-based authentication, and complete USDC settlement directly on Polygon.
This walkthrough covers all essential stages: setting up your account, funding your wallet, executing trades, and cashing out your returns.
Step 1: Create a PolyGram Account
Navigate to polygram.ink and select Get Started. Register via your email address — you do not need a crypto wallet at the outset. Confirmation completes in under 120 seconds. PolyGram operates in 30+ languages and functions seamlessly throughout the United Kingdom.
KYC Requirements
PolyGram permits unrestricted access for deposits up to $1,500 over a user's lifetime. Beyond this ceiling, standard identity verification becomes mandatory. Verification typically concludes within 2-5 minutes using either your passport or driving licence.
Step 2: Deposit Funds
Both Polymarket and PolyGram utilise USDC — a dollar-pegged stablecoin operating on the Polygon blockchain — for all contract settlements. British users can choose from multiple funding pathways:
- Acquire USDC on-ramp — PolyGram partners with fiat gateways that welcome UK debit cards and bank transfers (Faster Payments, Open Banking protocols)
- Bridge from major exchanges — Withdraw USDC from Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance directly to your PolyGram Polygon wallet
- Klarna integration — Accessible through PolyGram's fiat gateway for qualifying UK customers
The entry-level deposit threshold stands at $10. Your funds materialise within 1-3 minutes following Polygon block confirmation.
Step 3: Find and Trade Markets
PolyGram displays the complete Polymarket order book split into four primary segments:
- Politics — UK parliamentary contests, US presidential races, European governance, international tensions
- Crypto — Bitcoin and Ethereum price milestones, blockchain improvements, government regulation
- Sports — English Premier League, UEFA competitions, FIFA tournaments, North American leagues
- World Events — Financial markets, technological breakthroughs, cultural phenomena, miscellaneous outcomes
Every market displays a YES quote (representing implied likelihood) alongside a NO quote. Trading follows this sequence:
- Select a market and examine the prevailing odds
- Specify your USDC amount
- Choose YES (outcome occurs) or NO (outcome does not occur)
- Submit your order — execution happens instantly against the Polymarket CLOB
Step 4: Monitor Your Positions
The portfolio dashboard displays every active holding alongside live unrealised gains and losses. You retain the ability to exit positions ahead of resolution to secure profits or minimise drawdowns before final settlement.
Step 5: Withdraw Your Winnings
Concluded markets distribute USDC winnings directly into your PolyGram balance, ordinarily settling within sixty minutes of official confirmation. Cashing out requires these steps:
- Navigate to your wallet section and select Withdraw
- Provide a Polygon USDC recipient address (an exchange account or self-custodied wallet)
- First-time addresses enter a 24-hour security hold — bypass this using two-factor authentication
PolyGram levies no withdrawal charges. Standard Polygon transaction costs apply (ordinarily under $0.01 per transaction).
