Is Polymarket legal in the UK?
Polymarket itself operates in a legal grey area in the UK. Prediction markets settled in cryptocurrency (USDC) are not straightforwardly classified as "gambling" under the Gambling Act 2005, which requires cash prizes to trigger regulation. No UK authority has taken enforcement action against Polymarket. However, Polymarket voluntarily geoblocks UK IP addresses. PolyGram mirrors Polymarket's CLOB liquidity and is accessible to UK users.
Why is Polymarket blocked in the UK?
Polymarket geoblocks UK users as a precautionary compliance measure, not because the UK has explicitly banned it. The Gambling Commission has not issued guidance specifically covering USDC-settled prediction markets. PolyGram was built to give UK traders access to the same Polymarket CLOB order book without the IP restriction.
Do I need a VPN to use Polymarket from the UK?
Using a VPN to circumvent Polymarket's geoblock violates Polymarket's Terms of Service and could result in your account being restricted. A better option is PolyGram, which legally mirrors Polymarket's CLOB liquidity and is fully accessible to UK users without a VPN.
What currency do prediction markets use?
Polymarket and PolyGram use USDC (USD Coin), a US-dollar-pegged stablecoin on the Polygon blockchain. Each contract share is worth between $0.00 and $1.00 USDC, with the final value settling at $1.00 (YES wins) or $0.00 (NO wins). UK users can buy USDC on Coinbase UK, Kraken UK, or any FCA-registered crypto exchange.
Is PolyGram regulated by the FCA?
No. PolyGram is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Prediction markets are a novel category and no major prediction market platform — including Polymarket or Kalshi — holds FCA authorisation. Always trade only what you can afford to lose.
How do I fund a PolyGram account from the UK?
Purchase USDC on an FCA-registered exchange (Coinbase UK and Kraken UK are the most popular). Send USDC on the Polygon network to your PolyGram deposit address. Deposits are credited after 12 confirmations, typically within 2–3 minutes. Minimum deposit is $10 USDC.
