Reload and restart

Try another connection

While Polymarket is down: what to use instead
- Kalshi Use Kalshi for event contracts on a US-regulated venue when you can trade the markets it lists.
- PredictIt PredictIt helps for political contracts, though its list is narrower.
- Manifold Markets Manifold Markets fits when you want to test a forecast with play money and do not need cash settlement.
- Desktop browser Open the service in a desktop browser when the app fails after an update, because the web version avoids app-store update problems and often gets you past a broken app launch.

How we track Polymarket
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Polymarket, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Polymarket, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Polymarket doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
