Can You Use Polymarket in the UK?
Polymarket restricts access from UK-based internet connections — however, UK residents can trade on the identical Polymarket liquidity pool via PolyGram, a platform designed for UK users offering zero trading commissions, straightforward email registration, and complete USDC transfers on the Polygon blockchain.
This walkthrough covers all essential stages: setting up your account, adding capital, 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 operates in more than 30 languages and functions seamlessly throughout the United Kingdom.
KYC Requirements
PolyGram permits anonymous trading up to $1,500 in cumulative deposits. Beyond that amount, basic identity verification becomes mandatory. The verification process typically completes within 2-5 minutes using either your passport or driving licence.
Step 2: Deposit Funds
Both Polymarket and PolyGram use USDC — a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar that operates on the Polygon network — for all market settlements. British traders can fund their accounts through multiple pathways:
- Purchase USDC on-platform — PolyGram partners with fiat conversion services that accept UK payment methods including debit cards and bank transfers (Faster Payments, Open Banking)
- Move USDC from another platform — Withdraw USDC from Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance directly to your PolyGram Polygon wallet
- Klarna payments — Accessible through PolyGram's fiat gateway for qualifying UK customers
The smallest deposit allowed is $10. Your funds become available within 1-3 minutes following Polygon network confirmation.
Step 3: Find and Trade Markets
PolyGram grants access to Polymarket's comprehensive market selection organised into four main sections:
- Politics — General elections in the UK, presidential races in America, European governance matters, international conflicts
- Crypto — Bitcoin and Ethereum price movements, blockchain improvements, government regulation
- Sports — English Premier League, European football, international tournaments, American professional leagues
- World Events — Financial markets, scientific breakthroughs, culture and media, other categories
Every market displays a YES price (representing the market's assessment of likelihood) alongside a NO price. Here's how to participate:
- Select a market and examine the prevailing prices
- Specify your investment amount in USDC
- Choose YES (the outcome materialises) or NO (the outcome does not materialise)
- Authorise your transaction — execution happens instantly on Polymarket's order matching system
Step 4: Monitor Your Positions
The portfolio section displays your active holdings alongside current unrealised gains or losses updated continuously. You have the flexibility to exit positions before settlement, allowing you to secure profits or reduce losses.
Step 5: Withdraw Your Winnings
Upon market conclusion, USDC payouts transfer immediately into your PolyGram account, usually within sixty minutes of official confirmation. To access your funds:
- Navigate to your account wallet and select Withdraw
- Provide a Polygon USDC destination (a crypto exchange account or self-custody wallet)
- First-time addresses need a 24-hour approval period — alternatively, two-factor authentication bypasses this delay
PolyGram does not levy any withdrawal charges. Blockchain transaction costs remain minimal (usually under $0.01).
