How to Deposit on Polymarket from the UK
Polymarket enforces geographic restrictions affecting UK-based users, yet PolyGram provides unrestricted access to the identical CLOB order book alongside purpose-built UK deposit pathways. Every contract is denominated and settled in USDC across the Polygon blockchain.
UK Deposit Methods Available on PolyGram
Bank Transfer (Faster Payments / Open Banking)
British traders may capitalise their PolyGram wallet using Faster Payments, powered by PolyGram's integrated fiat gateway. Deposited sterling converts to USDC instantly, with funds reflecting in your account within roughly 5 minutes. The entry threshold stands at £10. PolyGram itself levies no charge; instead, the gateway operator applies a 1–1.5% conversion levy.
Debit & Credit Card
Both Visa and Mastercard debit instruments are supported. Credit card transactions may face rejection from your financial institution if flagged as cash-like advances — debit cards remain the safer choice. The on-ramp operator typically charges around 1.8% for card-based deposits.
Klarna
Klarna's Pay Later service is available to qualifying UK account holders. This arrangement 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)
You may transfer USDC directly into your PolyGram Polygon-based wallet from major platforms such as Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance. Alternatively, deposit ETH or BTC — the platform's integrated bridge automatically swaps these into USDC. This route delivers the quickest execution and lowest friction for high-frequency participants. Polygon settlement occurs in under 60 seconds.
