Check your connection and turn off VPNs/Proxies

The most common cause of network errors is the use of a VPN, proxy, or anonymization tool.

  • Disable any VPN software, privacy extensions, or proxies.

  • Ensure you are accessing the site from a supported region.

⚠️ Polymarket is not available in all jurisdictions. As per our Terms of Service (Section 2.1.4), users must not use VPN software or other privacy tools to circumvent these restrictions.


Verify your system clock

Ensure your system clock matches the time of where you are physically located while accessing the site.

  • Windows: Right-click your clock > Adjust date/time > Turn on "Set time automatically."

  • Mac: System Settings > General > Date & Time > Turn on "Set time and date automatically."


Clear your site data

If your connection is clear but the error persists, stale site data may be conflicting with your orders or market status.
