Google, email or wallet?
Google or email is the quickest: no wallet app, no seed phrase. An external wallet (MetaMask, Rabby) suits people who already keep crypto there. Pick one and stick to it: you log back in the same way, and a different method can open a different account. More on logging in.
Who can sign up
Most countries are open. Close-only countries (UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Argentina, Singapore and others) cannot open new positions. Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands and South Korea are close-only on the website. In the US, use Polymarket US. Check your country.

Referral link
The buttons on this site are a referral link. A referral counts if you sign up within 30 days of clicking it. Polymarket pays the reward to the referrer; there is no matched-deposit bonus for the new user, and any page promising one is inventing it. What is real: makers pay $0 and earn 15–25% of taker fees back. See promos.
