Can You Use Polymarket in the UK?
Polymarket enforces geographic restrictions on UK-based IP addresses — however, UK-based traders gain access to the complete Polymarket order book via PolyGram, a UK-compliant interface offering zero trading commissions, email-based authentication, and native USDC payouts across the Polygon blockchain.
This walkthrough covers all essential stages: setting up 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 with your email — no blockchain wallet is necessary to begin. Account verification completes in under two minutes. PolyGram operates in more than 30 languages and functions seamlessly throughout the United Kingdom.
KYC Requirements
PolyGram permits unrestricted access for deposits totalling up to $1,500 across your account lifetime. Beyond this amount, basic identity verification becomes mandatory. Verification typically concludes within 2-5 minutes using your passport or UK driving licence.
Step 2: Deposit Funds
Both Polymarket and PolyGram operate using USDC — a dollar-pegged stablecoin deployed on Polygon. UK residents have multiple funding pathways available:
- Purchase USDC on-ramp — PolyGram partners with fiat gateways that process UK debit and bank payments (Faster Payments, Open Banking protocols)
- Send from a cryptocurrency platform — Move USDC from Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance directly to your PolyGram Polygon address
- Klarna payment option — Accessible through PolyGram's fiat gateway for qualifying UK customers
The minimum funding amount is $10. Deposits settle into your account between 1-3 minutes after the Polygon network confirms the transaction.
Step 3: Find and Trade Markets
PolyGram displays Polymarket's comprehensive order book across four distinct segments:
- Politics — UK political contests, US presidential races, European governance, international affairs
- Crypto — Bitcoin and Ethereum price milestones, blockchain improvements, government oversight
- Sports — English Premier League, European club competitions, FIFA tournaments, American leagues
- World Events — Financial markets, technological breakthroughs, celebrity news, other categories
All markets display a YES price (reflecting market consensus on likelihood) alongside a NO price. Here's how to place a trade:
- Select a market and examine the prevailing prices
- Input your USDC amount
- Choose YES (outcome occurs) or NO (outcome does not occur)
- Submit your order — execution happens instantly on the Polymarket central limit order book
Step 4: Monitor Your Positions
Your portfolio dashboard displays every active position alongside live unrealised gains and losses. You may exit positions before settlement to secure profits or reduce exposure following adverse price movements.
Step 5: Withdraw Your Winnings
When markets conclude, USDC payouts transfer automatically to your PolyGram account, usually within sixty minutes of the official outcome. To move funds out:
- Navigate to your wallet section and select Withdraw
- Specify a Polygon USDC destination (crypto exchange or self-custody wallet)
- First-time addresses undergo a 24-hour approval period — bypass this using two-factor authentication
PolyGram does not impose any withdrawal charges. Minimal Polygon network costs apply (usually below $0.01 per transaction).
