FAQ

Questions readers keep asking.

Is Polymarket still free to trade?

Not for most categories. As of January 2026, the international platform charges category based taker fees and the regulated United States exchange charges a flat taker fee of about 0.30 percent. Limit orders that add liquidity are generally free.

Does Polymarket charge to deposit or withdraw?

No. The platform does not charge a deposit or withdrawal fee. You may pay network gas, which is usually tiny on Polygon, and any third party processor fees are separate.

Why are the fees different for United States users?

United States users trade through a separate federally regulated structure with its own flat pricing, while the international platform uses category based fees. The two are different venues with different schedules.

Are these fee figures guaranteed?

No. They are indicative and dated to June 2026. Polymarket can change them. Always confirm the current schedule on the platform’s own fee documentation before trading.
