| Path (what it affects) | Dublin p50 | Amsterdam p50 | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live market feed (WebSocket) sees the book move | ~14 ms | ~10 ms | Amsterdam leads on the feed |
| Order path (warm) post & cancel | ~21 ms | ~22 ms | Dublin leads slightly; both tight tails |
| Gamma API market metadata | ~8 ms | ~11 ms | Not on the hot path |
| Network hop to the edge TCP connect | ~0.5 ms | ~0.9 ms | Both peered at the local IX |
| DNS resolution | <1 ms | <1 ms | No stalls, either location |
The region Polymarket's docs name closest to their servers, and the best order round-trips in our tests.
The fastest live WebSocket feed in our tests, and a second jurisdiction for cross-country failover.
Access tiers are set by Polymarket and by regulators, not by any VPS provider. As of July 2026, Ireland and the Netherlands are both in Polymarket's "close-only on frontend" tier: the trading API is unrestricted in both, while the polymarket.com website is limited to closing positions. This page is for bot and API traders; if that changes, we'll update this page first.
We didn’t build a generic box and point it at Polymarket. Every layer — location, network, CPU, resolver — is tuned for one job: getting your bot to the order book fast and keeping it there, consistently.
Polymarket’s docs name Ireland (eu-west-1) the closest non-georestricted region, and our side-by-side benchmarks show Amsterdam winning the live feed. Both are excellent homes for a bot; the right one depends on your strategy.
