Polymarket restricts order placement from certain geographic locations to comply with regulatory requirements and international sanctions. Users in restricted jurisdictions cannot place Perps orders.

Restricted Jurisdictions

Order placement is not permitted from:
  • United States
  • Canada
  • Cuba
  • Iran
  • North Korea
  • Syria
  • Crimea

For Builders

If you’re integrating Perps, enforce these restrictions before submitting orders for a user:
  • Verify the end user’s location before placing orders.
  • Block order submission entirely for users in any of the listed jurisdictions. Do not only display a warning.
  • Apply the same check to any flow that results in a new position, including programmatic strategies that act on behalf of a user.
Read-only market data is not subject to these restrictions.
