# Polymarket Not Available in Your Region? Read Every Polymarket Sports and Esports Market on 0xinsider

Last updated: 2026-09-16
Canonical: https://0xinsider.com/learn/polymarket-not-available-in-your-region

Polymarket's help page says it is unavailable in 39 countries, lists 40, and notes that its servers are in one of them. If you are reading this from Paris, London, Sydney, Toronto or Ohio, you know the sentence: Polymarket is not available in your region. This guide is what to read instead. 0xinsider mirrors every Polymarket sports and esports market on its own servers, with a grade on every wallet, the names on each side of a game and every large trade as it lands, including the F-graded wallet that put $1,005,519 on a Counter-Strike match and collected. No wallet, no bets, no VPN advice.

## Thirty-nine countries, forty rows

Polymarket keeps the list itself, on a help page titled Geographic Restrictions, last updated August 14, 2026. It opens with the sentence you came here for: "Polymarket is not available in certain countries and regions due to regulatory requirements and compliance with international sanctions." Then it says 39 countries are "completely restricted from accessing Polymarket" and prints a table with 40 rows. The fortieth is the United States Minor Outlying Islands, nine islands and atolls with no permanent population, so the count is defensible. Nobody on Baker Island has complained.

Europe supplies twelve: Belarus, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Slovakia and the United Kingdom. Africa nine: Burundi, the Central African Republic, Congo (Kinshasa), Ethiopia, Libya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Zimbabwe. Asia and the Pacific eight: Australia, Japan, Myanmar, New Zealand, North Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. The Americas six: Brazil, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, the United States and those islands. The Middle East five: Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. Some of these are sanctions. Some are gambling regulators. The page does not say which is which, and from your side of the screen it does not matter.

Two lines further down, the same page notes that Polymarket's primary servers are in eu-west-2 and that the "closest non-georestricted region" is eu-west-1. Those are Amazon's names for London and Dublin. The United Kingdom and Ireland are both in the table above. The servers can be there. You cannot.

## Close-only, view-only, and the Bulgaria clause

The table is the blunt tier. Under it are the finer ones. Four Canadian provinces are blocked inside an otherwise open country: Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec, which happen to be the four most populous, so Canada is open the way a stadium is open when the stands are closed. Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk are blocked inside Ukraine. Four countries are close-only, where you may sell what you hold and may not buy anything new: Singapore, Poland, Thailand and Taiwan. The door works in one direction.

Then there is view-only, which the page describes by example. Ontario: "users can access market data globally but cannot deposit or trade." Italy: "users can view markets and data but cannot trade." Germany: "market data and commenting features are available," trading is prohibited, and an open position must be held to settlement before the money can leave. A German trader can watch the price of their own position every day until it resolves, and discuss it in the comments. In the United States, polymarket.com shows a banner, "Trading is blocked in the United States on polymarket.com," and points to polymarket.us, the separate app Polymarket runs for Americans.

The page ends with the travel clause: "Permissions are based on physical location rather than residency; for instance, users traveling to non-restricted regions, such as Bulgaria, can continue to trade." Bulgaria did not ask to be the example. But that is the rule as written: it is about where your body is, and a Londoner in Sofia may trade while a Bulgarian in London may not.

One more sentence from the page, and this guide follows it: "Polymarket strictly prohibits the use of VPNs or similar tools to bypass geographic restrictions." It names the breach as Section 2.1.4 of the terms. Some regulators no longer wait for Polymarket to enforce that. On July 16, 2026, France's gambling regulator, the ANJ, ordered French internet providers to block the domain itself, after finding that the restriction in place since November 2024 was being stepped around with VPNs. In France, the address no longer resolves. No banner, no market, no price. That is the third shape a block can take, and it is the one this guide is for.

## What 0xinsider is, and the one thing it is not

0xinsider is an analytics site for Polymarket's sports and esports markets. Its servers read Polymarket's public market data and the on-chain trade record, keep a copy, and draw it at 0xinsider.com. Every page you open is served from 0xinsider.com. Your browser never asks polymarket.com for anything, which is why this page loaded.

The one thing it is not is a place to bet. There is no wallet, no deposit, no order form and no Buy Yes button anywhere on the site. Reading it changes nothing about your standing with Polymarket. The Trade on Polymarket link on a game page goes to polymarket.com, and where that domain is blocked the link goes exactly as far as the domain does.

What it adds is the part polymarket.com does not show even where it loads. A grade on every wallet, S to F, earned on settled profit. Which side of a game the profitable wallets are on, and by how much. Every large trade as it fills, with the buyer's grade next to the size. Every combo as it fills. A daily pick record that stays up after it settles, wins and losses alike. Polymarket shows you the price. This shows you who made it.

## The boards: 2,309 soccer games and one boxing match

0xinsider.com/sports lists the boards, one per league Polymarket lists: NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL, MLB, college football, tennis, UFC, boxing and cricket; a soccer board with fifteen league boards under it, from the Premier League and LaLiga down to the Scottish Premiership and the Belgian Pro League; and an esports board with Valorant, League of Legends, CS2 and Dota 2 under it. A board row is a game: the two sides, the price on each in cents, kickoff in your time zone, the live score once it starts, and volume. Under the row are the Profitable wallets bars. The Smart bar is the share of the graded wallets' money on each side; the Market bar is what the price implies. When the two disagree, that is the row to open.

The table below is what the boards held on September 16, 2026, for the seven days ahead. Soccer had 2,309 games and 61,793 markets, because Polymarket lists everything from the Champions League down to Monza against Sassuolo on a Friday night, and gives each match its exact-score grid, its corners, its first scorer and its halves. The NFL had 16 games and 4,854 markets. Boxing had one fight, Kieron Conway against Mark Jeffers on September 19, with one market: who wins.

That is the second chart. An NFL game this week carries 303 markets on average, and the busiest, the Thursday night game, Lions against Bills, carries 501: the moneyline, the spread, the total, and 498 others, most of them player props and alternate lines. A boxing match carries the winner and nothing else. Between the two sit baseball at 28 per game, soccer at 27, esports at 9 and hockey at 2. If you have ever wondered what a sportsbook's props menu looks like when every line is a market with a price and an order book, the NFL board on a Sunday is the answer.

## A game page: the price, the chart, and the names on each side

Open a row and you are on the game's event page. The header carries the two sides, the live price on each, the score, and the profitable-wallet split: which side the S, A and B wallets' money is on and by how many points. Under it is the price chart, so you can see where the line opened, where it moved, and whether it moved before the news or after.

The rail beside the chart has two tabs. Polymarket activity is the game's own trade stream. Top holders is the one a sportsbook will never give you: the wallets on each side, each with its grade, its position and its share of the side. Polymarket shows its holders too. It does not put a grade on any of them. That is what the letter on every name here is for. Everyone sees the three largest holders per side and a count of the rest; Pro opens the top 100.

Below is the odds board: every market Polymarket lists for the game, moneyline, spread, total and props, each with its price. It is the same set of markets polymarket.com shows on its event page, read from the same source, with the grades and the split added and the Buy button removed.

## The large-trade feed: five seven-figure buys and how they ended

0xinsider.com/whale-alerts is every large Polymarket trade as it fills: the market, the side, the size, the price, and the grade the buying wallet has earned on everything it settled before. On polymarket.com a $40,000 buy is a $40,000 buy. Here it is a $40,000 buy from an S wallet or a $40,000 buy from an F wallet, and those are different facts.

The five largest sports buys of the 30 days to September 16 make the point better than a definition. The largest was $1,005,519 on FUT Esports to beat FURIA in a Counter-Strike playoff at the Esports World Cup on August 22, at 44.8 cents, from a wallet named Djdjdjekekek that carries an F. FUT won. The position paid about $2.24 million. An F is a record, and a record is a probability, and 44.8 cents came in that day. Second was $961,004 on Deportivo Alavés to beat Valencia on September 15 at 59.9 cents, from 00gringo00, graded C. Alavés did not win. The same wallet had put $847,581 on the Chiefs to beat the Broncos the evening before, at 55 cents, and collected. That is what a C looks like from the inside: a big win, a bigger loss, twenty-four hours apart.

Third, $899,999 on Real Madrid to beat Real Sociedad on August 26 at 82 cents, from vito3corleone, graded B. One dollar short of a round million. Real Madrid won, as Real Madrid at 82 cents tends to, and the position paid about $1.10 million. Fourth was that Chiefs buy. Fifth, $830,916 on the Yankees to beat the Rockies on September 8 at 85 cents, from Substantial-Service, graded S. The Yankees won. Four of the five paid. Three of the five were priced under 60 cents, and two of those came in, which is roughly how prices under 60 cents should behave.

Over those 30 days the feed recorded 11,919 large trades on nine sports: 3,354 on soccer from 377 wallets, 3,051 on tennis from 298, 2,729 on esports from 343, 2,025 on baseball from 178, and 352 on the NFL from 103. Soccer's 30 days carried $113,649,609 of notional. The free feed runs on a four-hour delay. Pro shows it as it lands. Both draw on the same record; only the clock differs.

## Grades: 256 wallets are S and 11,122 are D

Every wallet 0xinsider tracks carries a grade from S to F, set by the profit it has booked on settled markets, with guardrails for sample size and for how much of that profit it has given back in a drawdown. On September 16, 2026, 27,367 wallets held a grade: 256 S, 1,202 A, 1,988 B, 8,537 C, 11,122 D and 4,262 F. The pile leans to D because most wallets lose a little, and the grade says so instead of rounding it off. How the grade is computed, guardrails and all, is at 0xinsider.com/learn/prediction-market-trader-grades-explained.

0xinsider.com/leaderboard ranks the graded wallets by realized P&L, and every wallet has a profile with its record, its open positions and its grade. A holder on a game page, a buyer in the feed, a name in the table above and a row on the leaderboard are the same wallet with the same grade, so wherever you start reading, you end at the same place: a record, with a letter on it.

## Combos, the edge board, the archive and the picks

0xinsider.com/combos lists every Polymarket combo as it fills on chain: the picks, the stake, the payout if every leg hits, and the wallet behind it, including the five-leg MLB parlays that pay 15 times the stake and the two-leg ones that pay 2.2 and hit far more often. 0xinsider.com/sports/edge ranks every upcoming game where the S, A and B wallets have piled onto one side, by the conviction of the pile. Rank 1 opens in full with an account and the rest with Pro.

0xinsider.com/sports/results keeps every game whose day has passed, by sport for the last 30 days and by month before that, back to December 2025, each with its closing odds, the profitable wallets on each side and the price history. It is where the Alavés match above now lives. 0xinsider.com/pick-of-the-day publishes three to six sports and esports picks a day an hour before kickoff, with the side and price frozen, and every settled pick stays on the record with what $100 returned, the losers included. The first pick of the day is free with an account.

## Five minutes with a game

Open the board for your sport from 0xinsider.com/sports and find the game. Read the price on each side and the Profitable wallets bars under it. Where the Smart bar and the Market bar agree, the graded money is already in the price and there is nothing to see. Where they disagree, you have a question worth opening.

Open the game. Read the split in the header and the price chart under it, then the Top holders tab: who is on each side, and what letter each of them has earned. A side held by two S wallets and a side held by twenty F wallets are different sides, whatever the price says, and the price often says the same thing about both.

Check 0xinsider.com/whale-alerts for the game's large buys as they land, with the grade beside each. If you can trade, the Trade on Polymarket link on the game page takes you to the market. If polymarket.com is blocked where you are, everything above still holds: the price is a probability from a live market with real money on both sides, and the wallets on each side are named and graded. 0xinsider.com/learn/how-to-find-sharp-money-polymarket-sports goes through the same read in more depth.
