Is It Legal to Trade World Cup Prediction Markets in the UK?
Platforms such as Polymarket function as decentralised peer-to-peer information exchanges rather than conventional betting operators. UK residents can participate without restriction. PolyGram operates independently of UK Gambling Commission oversight because it does not custody user funds — your USDC remains secured in your personal wallet through blockchain-based smart contracts.
