The entity and account distinction
Polymarket US describes a fiat-based designated contract market and clearing organisation under CFTC oversight, with trades in dollars and US account verification. International Polymarket is described separately as a blockchain-based crypto product. A US login does not establish shared balances or the same market catalogue.
International geographic documentation lists the US as restricted for new positions. We provide no international trading CTA or access workaround.

Funding is not a transferable instruction set
US documentation lists verified bank/card and other payment methods, cleared-funds withdrawal rules and original-source/FIFO returns. International documentation concerns crypto collateral and wallet transactions. Sending an asset or using a network because it appears in an international tutorial is not a valid US funding instruction.
The US identity guide requests legal name, date of birth, phone, address and SSN, with possible ID/selfie checks. Those details belong with the provider, never in this publisher’s calculator or reporting parameters.

Fees and data need the same product label
The US standard taker coefficient is 0.0695 with cent half-even rounding, while international category coefficients and five-decimal precision differ. A US commercial or pricing statement cannot inherit an international number. Market questions and settlement rules must also be matched before comparing prices.
Similarly, a product displaying a Polymarket wallet balance does not thereby support a US account. A generic integration label is insufficient evidence of a second venue.

How to identify an ambiguous article
Look for the actual product domain, documentation source, currency, account process and settlement rules. If an article mixes US access with international wallet instructions or calls one product’s fee-free category a brand-wide policy, it has skipped a necessary distinction.
For a US reader, follow the US profile, funding guide and fee schedule linked below. International documentation is provided as explanatory evidence rather than as an alternative trading route.

One brand does not mean one account
Use this identity check before following a branded fee article. A document on the international product cannot establish US onboarding, fee rates or withdrawal eligibility.
