Polymarket is geoblocked in the UK. UK traders access equivalent CLOB liquidity via
PolyGram. 0% fees. Optional KYC. USDC on Polygon.
Why is There No Polymarket App on iOS/Android?
Polymarket operates as a web application at polymarket.com. Both Apple and Google have previously removed crypto prediction market apps from their stores due to gambling-adjacent classification. Polymarket has not pursued native app distribution, instead investing in a fast mobile web experience. UK users cannot access Polymarket's web app due to the IP geoblock anyway.
PolyGram Mobile Web App
PolyGram's mobile interface is optimised for iPhone and Android browsers. Visit polygram.ink on your phone's browser. You can add it to your home screen (PWA) for a native app-like experience: tap Share → Add to Home Screen on Safari, or the browser menu on Chrome. The PWA supports push notifications for market resolutions and price alerts.
Installing PolyGram as a PWA
On iPhone (Safari): Navigate to polygram.ink → Tap the Share icon → Scroll down → Add to Home Screen → Tap Add. On Android (Chrome): Navigate to polygram.ink → Tap the three-dot menu → Add to Home Screen. The app icon appears on your home screen and opens full-screen without browser chrome.
Mobile Trading Features
PolyGram's mobile interface includes: real-time CLOB price updates, YES/NO order placement, portfolio overview, deposit address QR code, market search, and push notifications. The interface is identical to the desktop version — no features are removed on mobile.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
