Can You Use Polymarket in the UK?
Polymarket restricts access from UK-based IP addresses — however, UK residents can trade on the identical Polymarket order book via PolyGram, a UK-compliant interface offering zero trading fees, email-based login, and complete USDC settlement across the Polygon blockchain.
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
Head to polygram.ink and select Get Started. Register with your email address — you won't need a cryptocurrency wallet initially. Your account becomes active in under two minutes. PolyGram is available in more than 30 languages and operates without restriction across the UK.
KYC Requirements
PolyGram permits unverified trading up to $1,500 across your account lifetime. Beyond this limit, basic identity verification becomes mandatory. Verification completes in 2-5 minutes using either your passport or UK driving licence.
Step 2: Deposit Funds
Both Polymarket and PolyGram use USDC — a dollar-pegged stablecoin operating on the Polygon network — for all contract settlements. UK-based traders can fund their accounts through multiple routes:
- Purchase USDC on-ramp — PolyGram partners with fiat gateways that accept UK debit and credit cards alongside bank transfers (Faster Payments, Open Banking integration)
- Send from a crypto exchange — Move USDC from platforms like Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance directly to your PolyGram Polygon address
- Klarna payments — Accessible through PolyGram's fiat gateway for qualifying UK customers
The minimum funding amount is $10. Your balance updates within 1-3 minutes following Polygon network confirmation.
Step 3: Find and Trade Markets
PolyGram grants access to Polymarket's complete order book, organised into four main sections:
- Politics — Westminster elections, US presidential races, Brussels directives, international conflicts
- Crypto — Bitcoin and Ethereum price milestones, blockchain improvements, government regulation
- Sports — Premier League fixtures, European tournaments, international championships, American leagues
- World Events — Financial markets, scientific breakthroughs, celebrity news, other categories
Every market displays a YES price (reflecting implied probability) alongside a NO price. Here's how to place a trade:
- Select your chosen market and review the live odds
- Type your USDC amount
- Choose YES (outcome occurs) or NO (outcome fails to occur)
- Finalise your order — execution happens instantly on the Polymarket CLOB
Step 4: Monitor Your Positions
Your portfolio page displays every active trade alongside live unrealised gains and losses. You may exit any position before settlement to secure profits or minimise losses following market resolution.
Step 5: Withdraw Your Winnings
Settled markets automatically credit USDC to your PolyGram account, usually within sixty minutes of official confirmation. To move funds out:
- Navigate to your wallet section and select Withdraw
- Specify a Polygon USDC destination (your exchange account or self-custody wallet)
- First-time addresses enter a 24-hour whitelist period — bypass this using two-factor authentication
PolyGram imposes no withdrawal charges. Minimal Polygon network fees apply (typically below $0.01 per transaction).
