How to Deposit on Polymarket from the UK
Polymarket restricts access from UK-based users, yet PolyGram provides unrestricted access to the identical CLOB order book alongside purpose-built UK deposit pathways. Every contract concludes with USDC settlement across the Polygon blockchain.
UK Deposit Methods Available on PolyGram
Bank Transfer (Faster Payments / Open Banking)
British traders may credit their PolyGram wallet using Faster Payments via PolyGram's fiat gateway partner. Your deposit converts instantly to USDC and settles in roughly 5 minutes. Minimum entry point stands at £10. PolyGram itself levies no charge — the gateway operator applies 1–1.5% commission.
Debit & Credit Card
Both Visa and Mastercard debit instruments work seamlessly. Credit card transactions risk rejection from your issuer if flagged as cash-like advances — debit cards remain the safer choice. The on-ramp charges approximately 1.8% per transaction.
Klarna
Klarna's Pay Later service is live for qualifying UK account holders. The feature enables you to execute trades immediately whilst deferring payment across a 30-day window. Eligibility requires an active, compliant Klarna account.
Crypto (USDC, ETH, BTC)
Transfer USDC straight into your PolyGram Polygon address from any major exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance). Alternatively, deposit ETH or BTC — PolyGram's conversion layer handles the swap to USDC automatically. This route offers the lowest friction and cost for high-frequency participants. Polygon confirmations arrive in under sixty seconds.
