Can You Use Polymarket in the UK?
Polymarket restricts access from UK-based IP addresses — however, UK-based traders can tap into the identical Polymarket order book via PolyGram, a UK-compliant interface 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 wallet, 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 — you won't need a cryptocurrency wallet initially. Confirmation completes in under 120 seconds. PolyGram operates in 30+ languages and functions seamlessly throughout the UK.
KYC Requirements
PolyGram permits unrestricted access for up to $1,500 in cumulative deposits without identity verification. Beyond this amount, standard identity confirmation becomes mandatory. Verification typically finishes in 2-5 minutes using either your passport or driving licence.
Step 2: Deposit Funds
Both Polymarket and PolyGram process all trades using USDC — a dollar-pegged stablecoin operating on the Polygon network. British traders have multiple funding pathways available:
- Purchase USDC instantly — PolyGram partners with fiat gateways that take UK payment cards and bank transfers (Faster Payments, Open Banking)
- Move funds from another platform — Transmit USDC from Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance directly to your PolyGram Polygon address
- Klarna payment option — Accessible through PolyGram's payment gateway for qualifying UK customers
The entry amount is just $10. Your balance updates within 1-3 minutes following Polygon network confirmation.
Step 3: Find and Trade Markets
PolyGram displays the complete Polymarket order book split into four main sections:
- Politics — British political contests, American presidential races, European governance, international tensions
- Crypto — Bitcoin and Ethereum price milestones, blockchain developments, government oversight
- Sports — English Premier League, European club tournaments, international football championships, American leagues
- World Events — Financial markets, technological breakthroughs, pop culture, other categories
Every market displays a YES figure (representing implied likelihood) alongside a NO figure. Trading works as follows:
- Select a market and examine the prevailing odds
- Specify your wager amount in USDC
- Pick YES (outcome occurs) or NO (outcome doesn't occur)
- Authorise your transaction — settlement happens instantly via the Polymarket CLOB
Step 4: Monitor Your Positions
Your portfolio dashboard displays every active position alongside live unrealised gains and losses. You may exit positions prematurely to secure profits or minimise losses ahead of market settlement.
Step 5: Withdraw Your Winnings
When markets conclude, USDC payouts transfer automatically to your PolyGram balance, generally within an hour following the official outcome. Cashing out involves:
- Navigate to your account wallet and select Withdraw
- Input a Polygon USDC destination (an exchange account or self-custody wallet)
- First-time addresses require a 24-hour security hold — alternatively, use two-factor authentication to bypass this
PolyGram imposes no withdrawal charges. Polygon network fees remain minimal (ordinarily under $0.01).
