⚖️ Why Are There US Restrictions?
PolyMarket operates as a decentralized prediction market platform. Due to US regulatory considerations, trading on PolyMarket is not available to persons located in the United States or its territories.
This applies regardless of citizenship — it's based on your physical location and IP address at the time of trading.
🌍 Affected Territories
Trading restrictions apply to users from:
- United States (US)
- Puerto Rico (PR)
- US Virgin Islands (VI)
- Guam (GU)
- American Samoa (AS)
- Northern Mariana Islands (MP)
📊 What This Means for Markets
All markets on PolyAlert that are tagged as "Trading Signals" are sourced from PolyMarket markets. These markets are only available to non-US traders.
Our geo-detection system automatically shows a warning banner to users detected in the US, but this is for informational purposes only — the underlying restrictions are enforced by PolyMarket's platform.
💡 Our Recommendation
If you are a US person interested in prediction markets, consider:
- Kalshi — CFTC-regulated US prediction market
