For the 2008/09 season Polakovič moved to his home country and joined BK Inter Bratislava . With an average of 23 points per game, he was the top scorer in the Slovak first division this year. At the beginning of the 2009/10 season he was briefly in the service of the Spanish third division team Fundación Adepal Alcázar, but returned to BK Inter Bratislava in October 2009, and in January 2010 he moved within the league to BK Svit. Polakovič played in Svit until the end of the 2011/12 season.

In October 2012 he was announced as a new signing for the Austrian second division club Vienna DC Timberwolves . In addition to his work as a basketball player, he worked in Schwechat for a company in the water treatment industry.
