Polymarket app availability
Last updated · how we verify
iOS is open in the US — the waitlist was removed on 12 May 2026. Android is still rolling out behind a waitlist, and there is no web platform for US users. Outside the US the international exchange works in a normal browser, so the app-only limitation is specific to the US product.
Current status
| Platform | Status | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| iOS (US) | Open | Open signup on iOS in supported states since 12 May 2026. |
| Android (US) | Waitlist | Google Play rollout still gated behind a waitlist framework; an invite code grants immediate access. |
| Web (US) | Not available | No full web trading platform for US users; the US product is app-first. |
| Web (international) | Available | The international exchange is browser-accessible. |

Polymarket US cannot give it to you yet. That is a genuine reason to consider Kalshi, which has a web platform, even though its fee coefficient (0.07) is higher than most of Polymarket's categories. We would rather say that plainly than pretend the gap does not exist.
How access opened up
- 2 December 2025 — Polymarket US reopens, initially invite-gated.
- 12 May 2026 — the iOS waitlist is removed entirely.
- Android — still rolling out; an invite code bypasses the queue.
- Web — not yet announced.
Availability varies by jurisdiction. 18+. Event contracts carry risk of loss.
You appear to be in the US. Polymarket’s international exchange blocks US IP addresses — use Polymarket US, the CFTC-regulated exchange, instead. See what’s available in your state.
Which app you get depends on where you are
These are two different products, not one app with regional settings:
- In the US: the Polymarket US app — CFTC-regulated, KYC required, settles in USD, and availability depends on your state.
- Outside the US: the international exchange — non-custodial, connect a wallet, settles in USDC (native Polygon USDC) on Polygon PoS, and works in a browser. It blocks US IP addresses. Country availability.
Questions
Is there a Polymarket app?
Yes. On iOS the US waitlist was removed on 12 May 2026, so signup is open. Google Play rollout still gated behind a waitlist framework; an invite code grants immediate access.
Is there a Polymarket Android app?
Google Play rollout still gated behind a waitlist framework; an invite code grants immediate access. So it exists, but access is not yet fully open.
Can I use Polymarket US in a browser?
No. No full web trading platform for US users; the US product is app-first. This is the biggest functional gap in the US product.
Do I need to download an app outside the US?
No — the international exchange works in a browser as well as on mobile. The app-only constraint applies to the US product.
