The legal situation in Micronesia

The Federated States of Micronesia is not on Polymarket's geoblock list, and no FSM authority has addressed Polymarket. There is no federal gambling law: each of the four states sets its own rules. Chuuk and Yap allow only charitable and public-purpose gambling, Kosrae treats wagering as a misdemeanour, and Pohnpei has no commercial casino framework. There is no crypto law, and crypto is not legal tender.

Key facts

  • No federal gambling statute; gambling is regulated state by state.
  • Kosrae treats minor wagering as a misdemeanour; Chuuk and Yap restrict commercial gambling.
  • No dedicated crypto law; the US dollar is the currency.
  • No ISP block or enforcement naming Polymarket was found.
