Very confusing. Polymarket doesn't allow US use/users. How are folks in the US participating on Polymarket? (VPNs and the like reportedly don't help either due to KYC policies.)

Cryptocurrency. Even if it is a traceable crypto like usdt, it doesn't seem to be enforced.

Thanks to crypto, you can deposit and withdraw with full and complete disregard to local laws.

Same way Binance did [1]. Assuming they wouldn’t get charged.

Polymarket has been live in the US since the beginning of the year. There is a queue but it’s absolutely live. And before that you could still use it so long as you did not use a VPN.

Strange. The current terms state:

> Restricted Jurisdictions. You acknowledge and agree that you are not permitted to access, use or trade with the Contracts on the Platform if you are residing in, a citizen of, organized in or located in the following jurisdictions (collectively, the “Restricted Jurisdictions”): Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Ontario, Poland, Quebec, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the United States; or a jurisdiction or territory that is the subject of comprehensive country-wide, territory-wide, or regional economic sanctions by the United States, including but not limited to Iran, Syria, Cuba, North Korea, and the Crimea, Dontesk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.

Maybe I'm supposed to ignore that?

		Maybe you’re not using the US entry path. https://polymarket.com/usa But also it’s not illegal for a US citizen even before it was simply not legal for them to do business with US citizens because of lack of kyc
