American traders can only bet on elections via Polymarket's mobile app
RotoGrinders' October 2026 guide notes that US users can now trade Polymarket election markets through the Polymarket US mobile app, while desktop trading through the Polymarket website remains unavailable for US traders. The guide explains that prices from 1 cent to 1 dollar read as implied probabilities and that winning shares pay out 1 dollar.
Mobile access for US election traders
US traders can access Polymarket election markets through the Polymarket US mobile app, according to RotoGrinders’ October 2026 guide. Desktop trading through the Polymarket website remains unavailable to US traders.
The distinction makes the access channel important: the guide describes election-market trading as available in the US, but only through the US mobile app—not through the desktop website.
Reading prices and payouts
According to RotoGrinders, election-market prices range from 1 cent to 1 dollar and represent implied probabilities. That gives readers a probability-based way to interpret the prices displayed in those markets.
The guide also states that winning shares pay out 1 dollar. The market price and the winning-share payout are separate figures: one expresses the market’s implied probability, while the other specifies the payout for a winning share.
What it means for prediction markets
- Access is platform-specific: US election-market trading is available through the Polymarket US mobile app, while desktop website trading remains unavailable.
- Prices convey implied probabilities: RotoGrinders describes a price range of 1 cent to 1 dollar.
- Winning shares pay 1 dollar: That payout is distinct from the price at which a share trades.
