Polymarket restricts trading in some countries and regions. Before showing any trade controls, the widget asks Polymarket’s geoblock service whether trading is allowed for the reader’s connection. PolyEmbed’s Terms of Service also don’t permit trading by US persons or persons in other restricted jurisdictions, even where the region check passes. You must be 18 or older to trade. In every case, readers can still see the market’s odds and follow the link to Polymarket.
Don’t use a VPN or other tools to get around regional restrictions. Polymarket’s terms prohibit it, and PolyEmbed doesn’t support it. See Polymarket’s Terms of Use.

Trading can also be off when

  • Trading is turned off for the platform, for example during maintenance. The widget then shows odds only.
  • The market isn’t accepting orders, for example just before resolution.
  • The outcome can’t be traded from the widget. Open the market on Polymarket instead.
