Allium data suggest some U.S. users may be circumventing geoblocks (location-based access restrictions) to place bets on markets listed on Polymarket’s global platform. The finding matters because prediction-market platforms often restrict access by jurisdiction, and workarounds that mask a user’s location can expose operators and users to regulatory scrutiny in the United States.
