Polymarket for kids: frequently asked questions
Is Polymarket safe for kids?
Polymarket carries an official age rating of Adults only 18+ on the Google Play, which means it is not designed for children. It is a real, listed app, but the store itself flags it for a mature audience. If a younger child wants it, the rating alone is a strong reason to say no or to supervise closely.
What age rating does Polymarket have?
The Google Play rates Polymarket as Adults only 18+. This is the store's own content rating, set from the app's features and content, not our opinion. Use it as the starting point for whether it fits your child's age.
Can my child use Polymarket safely?
If you decide to allow it, use device parental controls: Screen Time and Content & Privacy Restrictions on iPhone, or Family Link and Play Store parental controls on Android. Turn on purchase approval, set age-appropriate content limits, and keep the account under your family group so you can see activity.
How do I block or remove Polymarket from my child's phone?
On iPhone, open Settings, Screen Time, Content & Privacy Restrictions, then restrict or delete the app and block reinstalling it. On Android, open Family Link, select your child, find Polymarket and block or uninstall it. You can also set a store age limit so apps above your child's age cannot be installed.
