Check which Polymarket product you use
This guide covers the international Polymarket.com product. Polymarket's official product guide says the U.S. app is a separate product and its accounts are not connected to international accounts. If you use Polymarket US, contact support@polymarket.us instead of following the international account steps below.
Clear the account first; blockchain history remains public
Polymarket requires every position to be closed and every token to be withdrawn before deletion. Its official guide says deletion removes the account and associated personal data subject to lawful retention, but it cannot erase transactions already recorded on a public blockchain.
Delete your Polymarket account
Close every open position
Polymarket will not allow deletion while the account still holds positions or tokens. Review the Portfolio and close each open position before continuing. If a position cannot yet be cleared, use official support rather than assuming deletion is available.
Withdraw every remaining token
Follow Polymarket's official withdrawal instructions to choose the destination, token, amount, and network, then confirm the transfer. Check the account again before deletion; the official deletion guide requires it to hold no positions or tokens.
Delete the account in Settings
Open the international product's Account Settings, select the account-deletion control, and confirm. Polymarket's official account-deletion guide explains the prerequisites and the limits of deleting blockchain records.
Use official support if the control is blocked
Contact Polymarket.com through its official support channels or email support@polymarket.com from the address associated with the international account. Polymarket does not publish a response-time promise.

Deleting one account does not block every route back to prediction markets. If another layer would help, use the reviewed gambling-blocker comparison. If gambling has put food, housing, bills, or other essentials at risk, start with the financial first-steps guide.

Frequently asked questions
Can I delete a Polymarket account with open positions?
No. Polymarket's official deletion guide says an account still holding positions or tokens must be cleared before deletion.
Does deletion erase old trades from the blockchain?
No. Public on-chain records remain visible because they are part of the blockchain history.
Does Polymarket offer self-exclusion?
The current official pages reviewed for this guide did not document a formal self-exclusion process. That means this guide cannot confirm one either way. Use the documented deletion route, add device-level blocking if helpful, and ask support whether safeguards are available for your product and jurisdiction.
Is the US app the same account as polymarket.com?
No. Polymarket's official support material says the accounts are separate. Use support@polymarket.us for the U.S. app and support@polymarket.com for the international Polymarket.com product.
