Polymarket in the UAE: not blocked — how to sign up and deposit
Polymarket does not block the UAE (Polymarket Help Center, updated 29 Oct 2026). Sign up on polymarket.com with Google, email or a crypto wallet and fund it in USDC or other crypto. Polymarket documents no cap on stake size, and its most-traded open markets have done $50–80 million each. It is not licensed by the UAE regulator GCGRA, so it sits in a legal grey zone.
