How Polymarket Determines Access
Polymarket uses IP-based geoblocking to restrict access. When you visit polymarket.com, your IP address is checked against the blocked country list. If you're in a blocked region, the website will not load.
Countries are blocked for two main reasons:
- OFAC sanctions compliance — Countries under US Treasury sanctions (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria, etc.)
- Regulatory compliance — Countries where national regulators have taken action (France, Germany, UK, Italy, Netherlands, Argentina, Portugal, Australia, etc.)
The restriction is based solely on IP address — there is no KYC or identity verification on Polymarket. Some users in restricted regions access international platforms by routing their internet connection through a different geographic location. This is a common practice for accessing global financial and information services.
