How to Deposit on Polymarket from the UK
Polymarket enforces geoblocking restrictions for users in the UK, yet PolyGram provides unrestricted access to the identical CLOB order book alongside UK-native deposit pathways. All positions settle in USDC across the Polygon network.
UK Deposit Methods Available on PolyGram
Bank Transfer (Faster Payments / Open Banking)
British traders may capitalise their PolyGram wallet via Faster Payments using PolyGram's fiat gateway partner. Deposits are converted to USDC instantly and typically post within 5 minutes. Minimum stake stands at £10. PolyGram levies no charge — the gateway operator applies 1–1.5% in fees.
Debit & Credit Card
Mastercard and Visa debit cards are both supported. Credit card transactions risk rejection by your issuer should they classify the purchase as a cash advance — debit remains the safer route. On-ramp processing typically costs around 1.8%.
Klarna
Klarna Pay Later functionality is available for qualifying UK customers. This mechanism enables you to execute trades immediately whilst deferring payment across a 30-day window. Eligibility requires an active, compliant Klarna account.
Crypto (USDC, ETH, BTC)
Transfer USDC directly to your PolyGram Polygon address from any major exchange (Binance, Kraken, Coinbase). Alternatively, deposit ETH or BTC — PolyGram's bridge mechanism handles conversion to USDC automatically. The preferred approach for high-frequency traders. Polygon confirmations occur in under sixty seconds.
