The Short Version
Polymarket is accessible from Kuwait in 2026: the site, accounts and trading all function. Kuwait's regulators, however, prohibit crypto businesses locally - the 2023 circulars from the Central Bank, the Capital Markets Authority and partners ban institutions from crypto dealings and payments. The rules target operators; individual use sits in a gray zone with no licensed local rails.
What That Means Practically
No Kuwaiti exchange can legally sell you USDC, and banks will not process crypto purchases. Individuals are not the enforcement target, but the institutional door is closed - the same pattern as several Gulf neighbors. We state the facts; for personal situations, a local professional is the right address.
Tax
Kuwait levies no personal income tax, so an individual's trading profits are not taxed locally.
Learning First
The free training mode and the guides involve no money and no crypto. Prediction-market prices are public information - following how markets price elections, oil and football costs nothing.
