How to Withdraw

Step 1. Log in to Polymarket and click Withdraw (on the portfolio page or top navigation).

That’s it. Withdrawals are near-instant — your funds typically arrive within a few seconds.

Understanding the Transaction Breakdown

In the screenshot above, withdrawing 1,000 USDC results in receiving 999.19 USDC — a 0.08% slippage. This is typical:

No withdrawal fee from Polymarket
Small conversion slippage — usually around 0.08%, depending on the amount and network
Gas fees on the receiving chain are standard blockchain fees (very low on Polygon, higher on Ethereum)

For most withdrawals, the total cost is well under $1.

Which Chain Should You Use?

Chain	Speed	Gas Fees	Best For
Polygon	Seconds	Very low	Default choice, cheapest option
Arbitrum	Seconds	Low	If your wallet is on Arbitrum
Base	Seconds	Low	If your wallet is on Base
Ethereum	Minutes	Higher	If you need funds on Ethereum mainnet

Recommendation: Withdraw to Polygon unless you have a specific reason to use another chain. It’s the fastest and cheapest option.

Converting to Cash (Fiat Currency)

Polymarket withdrawals are in crypto (USDC by default). To convert to your local currency:

Withdraw USDC from Polymarket to your account on a crypto exchange (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, etc.)
Sell USDC for your local currency on the exchange
Transfer the fiat to your bank account

If you deposited via Coinbase connect, withdrawing back to Coinbase and selling is the simplest path.

Tips

Withdraw to Polygon for the lowest fees — unless your destination wallet is on a different chain
Double-check the wallet address — crypto transactions are irreversible. Always verify the recipient address before confirming.
Available balance only — You can only withdraw funds not currently in open positions. Close positions first if you want to withdraw that capital.
No limits or lockups — There are no withdrawal limits, cooldown periods, or lockup requirements on Polymarket.
