Polymarket App UK: Everything You Need to Place Your First Order

Polymarket walkthrough — the complete UK getting-started guide

This guide takes you from zero to a first executed trade on Polymarket via the PolyGram interface. Expected time: about 5 minutes to your first order, plus whatever time the on-chain deposit takes.

Step 1 — Create an account

Open PolyGram through Telegram or in a browser. Register via email OTP — you get a six-digit code, confirm, and you’re in. Alternative: one-tap Telegram login. A derived Polygon wallet is automatically assigned; the private key is never stored in plaintext (AES-256-GCM, BIP-44-derived).

Step 2 — Fund it

In the wallet area you’ll find your personal Polygon deposit address. Send USDC on Polygon there — from an exchange, an existing wallet, or a fiat on-ramp. After 12 confirmations the balance is credited to your trading account. Typical time: 2-5 minutes.

Step 3 — Pick a market

Browse categories: politics, crypto, sports, entertainment, tech, business, world. Tap a market to see its order book and recent price history. Price in cents = implied probability. A 62¢ YES quote means a 62% implied probability.

Step 4 — Place the order

Select size and side (YES / NO), set a limit price or take the market. Confirm — the order routes directly into the Polymarket CLOB. Fill confirmation typically in 2-5 seconds.

Step 5 — Settlement

When the market resolves via the oracle, winnings land automatically in your USDC balance. From there, withdraw to an external address or keep it for the next trade. No manual review, no delayed payouts.
