Polymarket Taiwan: access, restrictions, and PolyArb
Polymarket is geo-restricted in Taiwan: users cannot open new orders from Taiwanese IP addresses. That means you can read market data but you cannot place new trades on Polymarket from Taiwan. If you already hold positions there are limited close-only paths; VPNs to bypass blocks violate Polymarket's Terms of Service and are not recommended. This guide explains the restriction, what you can and cannot do, and how PolyArb fits if you can legally access Polymarket.
What 'Polymarket Taiwan' actually means
Polymarket blocks new orders from Taiwan. The platform allows viewing markets and sometimes closing existing positions depending on regional rules, but new order placement is restricted. These geographic controls are enforced by IP and account-layer checks. Attempting to evade geo-blocking (for example using VPNs) violates Polymarket's Terms of Service and risks account suspension.
If you can't trade from Taiwan: your options
You can monitor markets and price moves from Taiwan, use data and Gamma APIs for research, and follow public activity feeds. You cannot place new trades on Polymarket from a Taiwanese IP; closing may be limited. Consider legally available alternatives in your jurisdiction, or follow markets passively until access changes.
How PolyArb helps traders who can access Polymarket
PolyArb is a non-custodial arb bot built for intra-Polymarket arbitrage. For $99/month it runs at ~40ms latency (vs ~800ms for many free bots), issues Telegram and Discord alerts, and guarantees a $7.62 minimum edge per trade. It automates the buy-both-legs and complete-set workflows that capture intra-market edges while respecting Polymarket mechanics like pUSD, CLOB orders, and tick size rules.
Compliance and risk reminders
Do not use VPNs to bypass Polymarket geo-blocks—this is prohibited. Any arbitrage strategy still carries real risks: resolution disputes via UMA, settlement timing, partial fills, slippage, and smart-contract risk. PolyArb automates execution but does not remove these inherent risks.
