Can You Use Polymarket in the UK?
Polymarket enforces geographical restrictions on UK-based IP addresses — however, UK residents can gain entry to the identical Polymarket central order book via PolyGram, a platform accessible throughout the United Kingdom featuring zero trading commissions, email-based authentication, and unrestricted USDC transfers across the Polygon blockchain.
This walkthrough covers all essential stages: registering your account, funding your balance, 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 — a blockchain wallet is unnecessary at signup. Your account becomes active in fewer than two minutes. PolyGram operates in more than 30 languages and functions seamlessly throughout the United Kingdom.
KYC Requirements
PolyGram permits unrestricted trading up to $1,500 in cumulative deposits without identity verification. Beyond this ceiling, basic ID authentication becomes mandatory. Completion typically requires 2-5 minutes using either your passport or driving licence.
Step 2: Deposit Funds
Both Polymarket and PolyGram conduct all settlement operations in USDC — a dollar-pegged stablecoin operating on the Polygon layer. UK-based traders can choose from multiple funding pathways:
- Acquire USDC on-ramp — PolyGram partners with fiat gateways that process UK payment methods including debit cards and bank transfers (Faster Payments, Open Banking)
- Move USDC from another platform — Withdraw USDC from Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance and direct it to your PolyGram Polygon address
- Klarna instalment option — Accessible through PolyGram's fiat gateway for qualifying UK customers
The entry-level deposit threshold stands at $10. Your transferred capital reflects in your account between 1-3 minutes following Polygon network confirmation.
Step 3: Find and Trade Markets
PolyGram grants complete visibility into Polymarket's order book, organised into four primary segments:
- Politics — Westminster elections, American presidential races, Brussels legislation, international tensions
- Crypto — Bitcoin and Ethereum price milestones, blockchain development, government oversight
- Sports — English football leagues, European club tournaments, international championships, American athletics
- World Events — Financial markets, scientific breakthroughs, cultural moments, other categories
Every contract displays a YES valuation (representing the market's implicit likelihood) alongside a NO valuation. Executing a trade involves:
- Navigate into your chosen contract and examine the prevailing odds
- Specify your investment amount in USDC
- Choose YES (outcome occurs) or NO (outcome fails to occur)
- Submit your transaction — the Polymarket CLOB processes it instantaneously
Step 4: Monitor Your Positions
The portfolio dashboard displays your entire position inventory alongside instantaneous valuation changes. You retain the ability to unwind positions prior to settlement, enabling you to realise profits or minimise losses before final determination.
Step 5: Withdraw Your Winnings
Upon market conclusion, USDC proceeds flow automatically into your PolyGram account, ordinarily within sixty minutes of official confirmation. Retrieving your funds requires these actions:
- Navigate to your account wallet and select Withdraw
- Supply a Polygon USDC recipient address (an exchange account or self-custody wallet)
- First-time addresses undergo a 24-hour approval window — alternatively, bypass this delay through two-factor authentication
PolyGram imposes zero withdrawal charges. Polygon's standard transaction costs apply (typically below $0.01).
