Can You Use Polymarket in the UK?
Polymarket restricts access from UK-based IP addresses — however, UK-based traders can reach the identical Polymarket order book via PolyGram, a platform accessible throughout the UK offering zero trading commissions, straightforward email registration, and complete USDC settlement 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 via your email address — you won't need a cryptocurrency wallet at the outset. Your account becomes active in fewer than two minutes. PolyGram operates in more than 30 languages and functions seamlessly across the UK.
KYC Requirements
PolyGram permits identity-free trading for deposits totalling $1,500 or less over your account lifetime. Beyond this ceiling, basic identity verification becomes mandatory. Verification typically completes within 2-5 minutes using your passport or UK driving licence.
Step 2: Deposit Funds
Both Polymarket and PolyGram use USDC — a dollar-pegged stablecoin operating on the Polygon chain — for all market settlements. UK customers can fund their accounts through multiple pathways:
- Purchase USDC on-platform — PolyGram partners with fiat gateways that process UK payment cards and bank transfers (Faster Payments, Open Banking protocols)
- Move USDC from another platform — Deposit USDC from Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance directly to your PolyGram Polygon wallet
- Klarna option — Accessible through PolyGram's payment gateway for qualifying UK residents
The entry-level deposit amount stands at $10. Your balance reflects the funds within 1-3 minutes following Polygon network confirmation.
Step 3: Find and Trade Markets
PolyGram displays the complete Polymarket order book organised into four segments:
- Politics — British general elections, American presidential races, European governance, international relations
- Crypto — Bitcoin and Ethereum price milestones, blockchain developments, government oversight matters
- Sports — English football, continental cup competitions, international tournaments, North American leagues
- World Events — Financial trends, technological breakthroughs, cultural happenings, miscellaneous outcomes
Every market displays a YES quote (representing implied likelihood) and a NO quote. To participate:
- Select a market and examine the prevailing quotations
- Specify your wager amount in USDC
- Choose YES (outcome occurs) or NO (outcome fails to occur)
- Submit your order — execution happens instantly via the Polymarket central limit order book
Step 4: Monitor Your Positions
The portfolio section displays your active holdings alongside live valuation swings and unrealised gains or losses. You may exit positions before settlement to secure profits or reduce exposure following adverse moves.
Step 5: Withdraw Your Winnings
When markets conclude, USDC payouts flow into your PolyGram wallet automatically, ordinarily within sixty minutes of the outcome confirmation. For cash-out:
- Navigate to your wallet interface and press Withdraw
- Input a Polygon USDC destination (an exchange account or self-custody wallet)
- First-time addresses enter a 24-hour security hold — bypass this via two-factor authentication
PolyGram levies no extraction charges. Polygon network costs are minimal (ordinarily under $0.01).
