New York Sues Polymarket Over Unlicensed Gambling Claim
New York State filed suit against Polymarket's U.S. entity on September 24, 2026, alleging the prediction market operates unlicensed gambling. The state's filing includes records of an in-state account used on July 6, 2026 to buy "Mets win" shares in a Mets-Braves game. Polymarket moved the case to federal court the same day and sued the state attorney general and gambling commission members.
