Can You Use Polymarket in the UK?
Polymarket restricts access from UK-based IP addresses — however, UK residents can trade on the identical Polymarket liquidity pool via PolyGram, a UK-compliant interface offering zero trading commissions, email-based authentication, and complete USDC settlement via the Polygon blockchain.
This walkthrough covers all essential steps: registering 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 — you don't need a cryptocurrency wallet initially. Confirmation completes in fewer than two minutes. PolyGram supports more than 30 languages and operates without restrictions throughout the UK.
KYC Requirements
PolyGram permits unrestricted trading up to $1,500 in cumulative deposits without identity checks. Beyond this amount, basic identity verification becomes mandatory. Verification typically concludes in 2-5 minutes using either your passport or driving licence.
Step 2: Deposit Funds
Both Polymarket and PolyGram use USDC — a dollar-pegged stablecoin operating on Polygon — for all settlement. British traders can fund their accounts through multiple routes:
- Purchase USDC on-platform — PolyGram partners with fiat gateways that accept UK payment cards and bank transfers (Faster Payments, Open Banking protocols)
- Move USDC from another platform — Withdraw USDC from Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance and send it to your PolyGram Polygon address
- Klarna payments — Accessible through PolyGram's fiat gateway for qualifying UK customers
The smallest deposit allowed is $10. Your funds settle in your account between 1 and 3 minutes following Polygon network confirmation.
Step 3: Find and Trade Markets
PolyGram grants access to Polymarket's complete market catalogue organised into four segments:
- Politics — General elections in the UK, US presidential races, European governance, international relations
- Crypto — Bitcoin and Ethereum price milestones, blockchain developments, government regulation
- Sports — English Premier League, European football competitions, FIFA tournaments, American leagues
- World Events — Financial markets, scientific breakthroughs, culture, and other categories
Every market displays a YES price (representing the market's confidence level) alongside a NO price. Here's how to place a trade:
- Select a market to view current pricing
- Input your USDC amount
- Choose YES (outcome occurs) or NO (outcome does not occur)
- Submit your order — it fills instantly against the Polymarket central limit order book
Step 4: Monitor Your Positions
The portfolio section displays every active trade alongside live unrealised gains and losses. You may exit positions ahead of resolution to secure profits or minimise losses before final settlement.
Step 5: Withdraw Your Winnings
When markets conclude, USDC payouts transfer automatically to your PolyGram wallet, normally within 60 minutes of official resolution. Withdrawing your funds works as follows:
- Navigate to your wallet and select Withdraw
- Provide a Polygon USDC address (from an exchange or self-custody wallet)
- First-time addresses require a 24-hour verification period — bypass this with two-factor authentication enabled
PolyGram levies no withdrawal charges. Standard Polygon network costs apply (usually below $0.01).
