FAQ

Is Polymarket legal in my country?

Polymarket is geo-blocked in the US/UK/EU. Actual usage via the Polymarket interface is not possible there. The legal status itself varies — many countries treat prediction markets as a gray area. Is Polymarket Legal in Canada has a different geo footprint.

Do I need to KYC for Is Polymarket Legal in Canada?

Is there a withdrawal cap?

What if regulation changes?
