Can i use Polymarket in california?

As of December 2025, Polymarket is accessible in the United States including California, following regulatory clearance. Previously blocked from US users from 2022-2025, but Polymarket acquired QCEX (CFTC-licensed exchange) in 2025, allowing legal operation in the US.

California has not filed specific lawsuits against Polymarket like some other states (Massachusetts, Nevada). Users should be aware of: State-level regulations can vary and change. California residents should stay informed about any new legal developments.

VPN usage to bypass any state restrictions is prohibited. Individual circumstances may vary, so consulting legal advice is recommended if uncertain.
