Concerned About Polymarket Geo-Restrictions as a U.S. Trader
I’m curious if anyone here is based in the U.S. and has experience with Polymarket’s geo-restrictions.
I’ve been trading on Kalshi and have had some success, but I’m hesitant to try Polymarket because I’m worried about the risk of violating their location rules. My main concern is that even if I trade successfully, Polymarket could freeze my funds or ban my account if they determine I’m accessing the platform from the U.S.
Has anyone dealt with this issue firsthand? Are there any legitimate ways U.S.-based users are approaching prediction markets outside of Kalshi, or is the risk simply not worth it?
Not looking to break rules just trying to understand the real risk before making a decision. Feel free to DM me or reply in the comments. Help would be greatly appreciated
