How to Deposit on Polymarket from the UK
Polymarket enforces geoblocking against UK-based users, yet PolyGram provides unrestricted access to the identical CLOB order book alongside purpose-built UK deposit pathways. Every contract resolves in USDC across the Polygon network.
UK Deposit Methods Available on PolyGram
Bank Transfer (Faster Payments / Open Banking)
British traders may top up their PolyGram balance using Faster Payments via PolyGram's fiat gateway partner. Your deposit converts instantly to USDC and settles in roughly 5 minutes. Entry threshold stands at £10. PolyGram itself levies no charge — the gateway operator applies 1–1.5% commission.
Debit & Credit Card
Mastercard and Visa debit instruments are supported. Credit card transactions risk rejection from your issuer if flagged as a cash advance — debit remains the safer option. Gateway fee: approximately 1.8% per transaction.
Klarna
Klarna's Pay Later scheme is accessible for qualifying UK members. The mechanism permits you to execute trades immediately whilst deferring payment for up to 30 days. Eligibility requires an active, compliant Klarna account.
Crypto (USDC, ETH, BTC)
Transfer USDC directly into your PolyGram Polygon address from any major venue (Kraken, Coinbase, Binance). Alternatively, deposit ETH or BTC — PolyGram's conversion layer handles the swap to USDC automatically. This route suits high-frequency traders best. Polygon settlement occurs within 60 seconds.
