FWIW it is totally legal for Americans to trade on polymarket via a VPN or similar; it’s just not legal for polymarket itself to offer services to people with US IP addresses

  I’m not a lawyer, but their newest Terms of Service imply otherwise:
  USE OF A VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (“VPN”) TO CIRCUMVENT THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH HEREIN IS PROHIBITED.
  Not sure how willing and able they would be to enforce such a regulation, but that’s a different question. (Not legal advice!)

    Yeah it’s definitely against poly’s terms of service but not against US law (otherwise they wouldn’t be complying with the prohibition on offering their services to US customers)
