KYC on Polymarket and jurisdictional access

Curious how Polymarket navigates different KYC requirements across jurisdictions, especially given the nature of betting markets. It feels like a complex spiderweb, trying to balance accessibility with regulatory compliance. Are they applying a blanket standard, or is it geo-specific?

My understanding is they've generally opted for a stricter, more centralized KYC approach to avoid jurisdictional headaches, which then impacts accessibility. It's a trade-off they seemingly made to stay afloat.

It's likely a geo-specific approach, as a blanket standard would either over-regulate some regions or leave others exposed. However, maintaining that for a global platform must be a constant headache.
