What was checked for Russia and the US
On October 11, 2026, the international product’s Help Center lists Russia and the US as blocked countries. Its API documentation classifies RU and US as close-only: closing existing positions without opening new ones. These official descriptions differ over whether closing is permitted, so it cannot be treated as guaranteed. Both exclude opening new positions from these countries. Check the current terms for the specific product and action.
Polymarket US is a separate product
The US Trust & Safety Hub describes its own eligibility and identity framework; it lists Nevada as unavailable at the review date. This does not make an international account, rules or referral link automatically suitable for the US product. Check the specific product and current terms instead of merging two destinations into one universal service.
What does not prove eligibility
A public API response comes from the requesting server’s address and does not establish a visitor’s situation. Browser language, a selected locale or another person’s example are insufficient too. A page that loads may offer a restricted mode. Do not replace uncertainty with a promise or make circumvention instructions part of product selection.
How to read a regional search query
A query about Polymarket in Russia needs an explanation of restrictions rather than a promised signup route. For another country, check the current list, regional exceptions and product terms separately. Conflicting documents or missing information leave an action’s eligibility unconfirmed. OddsAtlas explanations can be read without registration or financial operations.
FAQ /
Common questions
Can Polymarket be used from Russia?
OddsAtlas information can be read without an account. Both checked official sources exclude opening new positions from Russia on international Polymarket. The Help Center lists RU as blocked, while API documentation describes close-only. Closing existing positions therefore also cannot be promised without checking the particular product and action. Language, a page that loads and a referral link do not remove restrictions.
Does the Russian version promise access from Russia?
No. It identifies the information language. External-product restrictions are checked separately, and this guide provides no circumvention instructions.
Is the English version only for US visitors?
No. EN serves an international English-speaking audience. Country and product cannot be inferred from language; US and international rules must remain distinct.
