# Geographic Restrictions
|
|
|
|
> Check geographic restrictions before placing orders on Polymarket's CLOB
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Polymarket restricts order placement from certain geographic locations due to regulatory requirements and compliance with international sanctions.
|
|
Before placing orders, builders should verify the location.
|
|
|
|
<Warning>
|
|
Orders submitted from blocked regions will be rejected. Implement geoblock checks
|
|
in your application to provide users with appropriate feedback before they attempt to trade.
|
|
</Warning>
