Is Polymarket Available in the United States?

Quick answer

Polymarket.com: not available to U.S. residents for deposits or trading. Polymarket US: a separate product for U.S. users, available through its iPhone app. Do not apply the global website’s instructions to the U.S. app.

Polymarket.com vs Polymarket US

These are separate products. The Help Center describes Polymarket.com as the international website and says that U.S. residents cannot deposit funds or place trades there. It describes Polymarket US as the separate app for U.S. users, with accounts that are not connected to Polymarket.com.

This is why a global website article, account, or funding instruction is not a substitute for the U.S. app’s current screens and support guidance.

How to access Polymarket US

1. Use the official Polymarket US iPhone app listing.
2. Create an account in the U.S. app.
3. Follow the app’s current prompts for access, funding, and any checks it requires.

The SDK documentation says that an account and identity verification are required before generating API keys. That is developer-documentation context, so this guide does not extend it into a broader retail claim beyond the app’s own prompts.

How deposits work

Polymarket US documentation states that funding is available by debit card or bank transfer (ACH) through the app. The app’s funding section is the official place to see the current deposit limits and processing times.

Any consumer details beyond that—including transfer timing, limits, or supported alternatives—are Not stated publicly in the verified sources used for this guide. Check the app rather than relying on global Polymarket.com instructions.

Is Polymarket legal in the United States?

The CFTC record identifies QCX LLC d/b/a Polymarket US as a Designated Contract Market, with a designation date of July 9, 2025. The published Polymarket US Rulebook is a separate U.S. rules framework and says participants must comply with applicable rules and law.

That regulatory record is not a blanket legal opinion for every person, state, account, or market. This guide is not legal advice; use the app’s current information and qualified local advice if a decision depends on your circumstances.

Are all states and markets available?

Not stated publicly in the verified sources: there is no verified state-by-state availability table or complete consumer market-availability list for this guide to reproduce. Availability can also depend on the particular market and current app controls.

Check the Polymarket US app for what is currently offered to you. Do not infer a state or market result from the CFTC designation alone.

Can Americans use a VPN for Polymarket.com?

No. Polymarket’s geographic-restrictions page says the United States is restricted for Polymarket.com and that using a VPN or similar tool to bypass geographic restrictions violates the platform’s Terms. This guide does not provide a workaround.

Accounts, withdrawals and support

Polymarket.com and Polymarket US accounts are separate and not connected. For Polymarket US, use in-app chat or support@polymarket.us. For the international website, the Help Center lists support@polymarket.com.

Consumer withdrawal steps and details are Not stated publicly in the verified sources for this guide. Use the U.S. app or its support channels for current account-specific help.

Bottom line

Americans should not deposit or trade on Polymarket.com. The official route described for U.S. users is the separate Polymarket US iPhone app, with debit card or ACH funding shown in the app. Check the app for current eligibility, availability, limits, timing, and account support.
