Polymarket US for Florida traders

Florida is on the list of states where Polymarket US's MIAPREDICTS offer is valid.
Florida-specific markets to look for: the 2026 governor race (Donalds vs Jolly), the Senate special election (Moody vs Nixon), hurricane landfalls during the June–November season, and the state's pro teams.
Florida's only licensed online sportsbook is Hard Rock Bet, under the Seminole Tribe compact. Polymarket is not a sportsbook, so it sits outside that arrangement; see our Florida legality guide for where the 2026 federal court split leaves Florida.
Florida has no state income tax, so there's no state tax on winnings; federal tax still applies.

The global benchmark

Polymarket's international site became known for its 2024 US election markets, which were frequently quoted by mainstream financial media. That international product is separate, crypto-based and not for US users; this review covers Polymarket US.

What to expect

Polymarket US covers politics, culture, crypto and sports markets. The app shows a price history chart on each market.

Fees and pricing

Since October 2026 Polymarket US charges a taker fee on orders that fill straight away, worked out from the price: it is highest for contracts near 50 cents (about $1.74 per 100 contracts) and falls toward 1 cent and 99 cents. Orders that rest on the book (maker orders) pay no fee; rebates on them are limited to very high-volume traders since October 19, 2026. The docs list no deposit fee. Withdrawals are free and go back to the method you deposited with, once the deposit has cleared (usually 3 to 4 business days).

Safety and regulation

The US Polymarket app operates under CFTC oversight. The international Polymarket protocol is a separate entity — your US account is governed by the US-regulated structure with its own KYC.
