How to Deposit on Polymarket from the UK
UK-based users cannot access Polymarket directly due to geoblocking restrictions, yet PolyGram provides unrestricted entry to the identical CLOB order book alongside bespoke UK funding pathways. Every contract position settles via USDC held on the Polygon blockchain.
UK Deposit Methods Available on PolyGram
Bank Transfer (Faster Payments / Open Banking)
PolyGram users in the UK can load their account using Faster Payments via PolyGram's licensed fiat gateway partner. Your sterling converts to USDC instantly, with settlement typically occurring within 5 minutes. The entry threshold stands at £10. PolyGram itself levies no fee; the gateway provider deducts 1–1.5%.
Debit & Credit Card
Both Visa and Mastercard debit offerings are supported. Note that credit card issuers may reject deposits if flagged as cash-like transactions — debit remains the safer choice. The on-ramp charges approximately 1.8% per transaction.
Klarna
Klarna's buy-now-pay-later service is available for qualifying UK participants. The feature enables you to execute trades immediately whilst deferring payment for up to 30 days. You must maintain an active, compliant Klarna account to use this option.
Crypto (USDC, ETH, BTC)
Transfer USDC directly into your PolyGram Polygon address from any major custodian such as Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance. Alternatively, deposit ETH or BTC — the platform's integrated bridge handles conversion to USDC automatically. This route offers the lowest friction and fastest execution for high-frequency traders. Polygon settlement completes in under sixty seconds.
