Is the Polymarket app available on iOS and Android?

Yes. Polymarket has native apps for both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play) as of 2025. You can also access Polymarket via mobile browser — the web app is fully responsive and works well on mobile Safari and Chrome.

Can I use the Polymarket app without a crypto wallet?

Polymarket now supports Magic.link email login, which creates a managed wallet for you — no separate wallet app required. For full self-custody, connect MetaMask Mobile or Coinbase Wallet. Email login is the easiest option for beginners.

How do I deposit USDC on the Polymarket mobile app?

Inside the Polymarket app, tap your balance → Deposit. You can deposit USDC directly via credit/debit card (instant, higher fee), or send USDC from a crypto exchange to your Polymarket wallet address on Polygon network. Send only USDC on Polygon — other networks will lose your funds.

Is the Polymarket mobile app safe?

Polymarket is non-custodial — your funds are held in smart contracts, not by Polymarket Inc. The app connects to your wallet but never has access to move your funds without your signature. The main risk is wallet security: never share your seed phrase and use biometric lock on your phone.

Downloading the App

Polymarket is available as a native app on both major mobile platforms:

iOS: Search "Polymarket" in the App Store, or visit polymarket.com on your iPhone and follow the install prompt. The app requires iOS 15 or later.
Android: Search "Polymarket" on Google Play. Alternatively, use the mobile web app at polymarket.com — it is fully functional and does not require installing anything.

Availability note: The app is not available in the US App Store or US Google Play due to the CFTC settlement. US residents are blocked at the platform level regardless of how they access it.

Account Setup Options

Polymarket offers three ways to set up an account on mobile:

Option 1 — Email Login (Easiest)

Polymarket supports Magic.link email authentication. Enter your email, receive a magic link, click it, and Polymarket creates a managed wallet for you automatically. No seed phrase to manage. Best for beginners who just want to start trading quickly.

Option 2 — Connect Existing Web3 Wallet

If you already have MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or another WalletConnect-compatible wallet, you can connect it directly. Tap "Connect Wallet" in the app, select your wallet, and approve the connection. Your existing USDC balance on Polygon will be visible immediately.

Option 3 — Coinbase Smart Wallet

Polymarket supports Coinbase Smart Wallet for a one-tap setup experience — passkey-based, no seed phrase, works directly inside the Polymarket app. Recommended for users who want self-custody without the complexity of managing a separate wallet app.

Depositing USDC on Mobile

There are two ways to add funds on the Polymarket mobile app:

Direct Card Deposit (Instant)

Tap your balance → Deposit → Card. Enter your debit/credit card details. Funds arrive in seconds. The fee is approximately 1.5–3% — convenient but slightly more expensive than sending from an exchange.

Send USDC from an Exchange (Cheaper)

Buy USDC on Kraken, Coinbase, or Binance
In the Polymarket app, tap Deposit → copy your Polygon wallet address
In your exchange, withdraw USDC to that address — select Polygon (MATIC) network
Confirm in the app — typically arrives in 2–5 minutes

Critical: Always send USDC on the Polygon network only. Sending USDC via Ethereum mainnet to a Polygon address will not appear in your Polymarket balance and recovery is complex. Double-check the network before confirming any withdrawal.

Get USDC Instantly with ChangeNOW

Swap any crypto to USDC on Polygon in 30 seconds. No account, no KYC for most amounts.

Trading on the Mobile App

The Polymarket mobile app experience is nearly identical to the desktop web version:

Browse markets — use the search bar or category filters (Politics, Crypto, Economics, Sports)
Select a market — tap any market card to see the full contract details, resolution criteria, and price chart
Place a trade — tap Buy YES or Buy NO, enter your USDC amount, review the share price and estimated payout, then confirm
Monitor positions — tap the Portfolio icon (bottom nav) to see all open positions, unrealised PnL, and approaching resolution dates
Sell before resolution — tap any open position → Sell to exit early at the current market price. Useful if your view has changed or you want to lock in a profit

Key App Features

Live price charts — each market shows a full price history chart, useful for spotting recent momentum shifts
Order book — tap "Order Book" on any market to see the depth of bids and asks. Critical for understanding liquidity before placing large trades
Activity feed — see recent large trades on any market in real time (useful for whale-spotting on mobile)
Leaderboards — track your ranking vs other Polymarket traders by PnL
Watchlist — bookmark markets to monitor without trading
Share markets — tap the share icon to post any market directly to Twitter/X or copy a link

Notifications & Alerts

Enable push notifications in the Polymarket app settings to receive:

Resolution alerts when a market you hold resolves
Price movement alerts on watchlisted markets
Large trade alerts (new in 2025)

For more granular copy-trade and whale alerts, use the Wallet Tracker tool on poly-sim.com — it monitors any wallet address and alerts on new trades.

Security Best Practices

Enable biometric lock on the Polymarket app and your wallet app (Face ID / fingerprint)
Never share your seed phrase — Polymarket support will never ask for it
Use a dedicated wallet for Polymarket with only the USDC you intend to trade — don't use your main holdings wallet
Verify the app store listing before downloading — only install from the official Polymarket account
Enable 2FA on your exchange before withdrawing USDC to Polymarket

Common Issues & Fixes

My USDC deposit isn't showing up

Check that you sent USDC on the Polygon network (not Ethereum mainnet). Check the transaction on PolygonScan using your wallet address. If the transaction shows as confirmed on Polygon, wait 5–10 minutes and refresh the app. If still not visible after 30 minutes, contact Polymarket support.

The app won't connect to my wallet

Try force-closing both apps and reopening. Ensure your wallet app (MetaMask, Coinbase) is updated to the latest version. Try disconnecting and reconnecting via WalletConnect. If still failing, try the Polymarket web app at polymarket.com on mobile browser as a fallback.

My trade failed / transaction reverted

Transaction reversions on Polygon are usually caused by: (1) insufficient MATIC for gas — you need a small amount of MATIC (~$0.10–0.50 worth) in addition to USDC; (2) slippage — the price moved between your quote and execution. Increase slippage tolerance in settings or reduce trade size.

I can't find the app in the App Store

If you're in the US, the app is geoblocked in the US App Store. Change your App Store region temporarily, or access Polymarket via mobile browser at polymarket.com instead. The web app is fully functional on mobile.
