Country Availability Checker

How Country Availability Works

Polymarket operates as a global prediction market, but local regulations and payment infrastructure vary by country. Statuses fall into four categories:

• Accessible — full access to deposit, trade, and withdraw.
• Restricted — accessible but with regional limitations (e.g., specific payment methods or market types).
• Close-Only — existing users can close positions; new users cannot trade.
• Blocked — Polymarket is not accessible at all.

Why Statuses Change

Country status reflects the current state of Polymarket’s compliance with local regulations. As laws evolve and Polymarket’s licensing footprint expands, statuses can shift. We update this checker regularly based on Polymarket’s official availability and reports from users on the ground.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Polymarket available in my country?

Polymarket is accessible in 200+ countries with some regional restrictions. The most notable blocked country is the United States (where Kalshi is the alternative). Use the checker above to see your specific country’s status.

What does “restricted” mean?

Restricted means Polymarket is accessible but with limitations — typically unable to deposit via certain payment methods or trade specific market types. The country guide page details what’s restricted in each case.

What does “close-only” mean?

Close-only means existing users can close their positions but cannot open new trades. New users in close-only countries cannot trade at all.
