On Thursday, the State of New York filed a lawsuit against Polymarket, a prediction market platform, alleging that it is operating an unlicensed gambling operation and asking a judge to prohibit the company from operating within the state.

This lawsuit represents the state government's latest legal challenge aimed at regulating the popular and now ubiquitous betting apps that allow users to wager on almost anything, including sports, weather, elections, and technology.

Prediction market platforms have argued that, because they are subject to federal regulation by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), state governments have no authority to exercise jurisdiction over them.

On Thursday, New York State authorities filed a lawsuit against Polymarket in state court, arguing that, on the grounds that the platform had not obtained a gaming license from the state, the company should be forced to pay a fine and compensate its users.

New York State has previously filed lawsuits against other platforms, including Kalshi, Coinbase, and Gemini, on the basis of similar reasoning.

In a statement, Governor Kathy Hochul said, "Polymarket not only deliberately violated state law by operating an unlicensed gambling operation, but also put New Yorkers at risk, especially minors, who are the most vulnerable to problem gambling."

Prediction market platforms have argued that they operate differently from traditional gambling operations, because consumers trade with one another in a manner similar to how the stock market works.

They allow participants to buy and sell contracts that are tied to the anticipated outcome of an event.
