Depositing From Germany
German account holders can fund positions through PolyGram's support for SEPA transfers, Klarna payments, and blockchain-native deposits. SEPA transactions typically settle within one to two working days without additional charges. Klarna and card-based funding arrive instantly, though a 1.5% fee applies to these methods.
Tax Implications for German Traders
German tax law classifies prediction market earnings as sonstige Einkünfte (miscellaneous income) when annual gains surpass €256. German traders are advised to engage a qualified tax professional (Steuerberater) for circumstance-specific counsel. PolyGram furnishes exportable transaction records in CSV format to facilitate compliance documentation.
