On Thursday, the State of New York filed a lawsuit against Polymarket, a prediction-market platform, alleging that it operates an unlicensed gambling enterprise and petitioning a judge to enjoin the company's operations within the state.

ニューヨーク州は木曜日、予測市場プラットフォームであるPolymarketに対し訴訟を提起し、同プラットフォームが無許可のギャンブル事業を運営していると主張した上で、同社の州内における営業活動を差し止めるよう裁判官に申し立てた。

This lawsuit is nothing less than the latest legal challenge mounted by a state seeking to regulate a now ubiquitous and popular betting app that offers wagers on virtually any subject, including sports, weather, elections, and technology.

本訴訟は、スポーツ、気象、選挙、テクノロジー等、殆どあらゆる対象に賭博を提供し、今や遍く普及した人気ベッティングアプリを規制せんとする州による、最新の法的挑戦に他ならない。

The prediction-market platforms have argued that, insofar as they fall under federal-level regulation by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), no authority to govern them can vest in the states.

予測市場プラットフォームは、米国商品先物取引委員会(CFTC)による連邦レベルの規制の下に置かれている以上、州にはこれを統治する権限は帰属し得ないと主張してきた。

On Thursday, New York State authorities filed a lawsuit against Polymarket in state court.

ニューヨーク州当局は木曜日、Polymarketに対し州裁判所において訴訟を提起した。

The suit seeks to impose a fine on the company and compel it to pay restitution to users, on the grounds that the platform has not obtained a gaming license from the state.

同プラットフォームが州からゲーミングライセンスを取得していないことを理由として、同社に罰金を科し、かつユーザーへの賠償を支払うよう強制することを求めるものである。

The state has previously brought suits against other platforms, including Kalshi, Coinbase, and Gemini, on the basis of similar reasoning.

州は従前、同様の論法に基づき、Kalshi、Coinbase、Geminiなど他のプラットフォームに対しても提訴を行っている。

"By operating an unlicensed gambling business, Polymarket not only deliberately violated state law, but also endangered New Yorkers, particularly minors, who are the most vulnerable to problem gambling," Governor Kathy Hochul said in a statement.

「無許可のギャンブル事業を運営することにより、Polymarketは州法に故意に違反したのみならず、ニューヨーカー、とりわけ問題ギャンブルに対して最も脆弱な未成年者を危険に晒した」とキャシー・ホークル知事は声明で述べた。

In a statement, Neil Kumar, Polymarket's chief legal officer, declared, "We will fight for our users."

Polymarketの最高法務責任者たるニール・クマール氏は、声明において「我々はユーザーのために戦う」と述べた。

"Polymarket originated in a modest little apartment in New York City and has now grown to employ more than 350 people, embodying precisely why individuals and businesses flock to this city and thrive here.

「Polymarketはニューヨーク市の一介の小規模アパートメントに端を発し、今日では350名を超える従業員を擁するに至っており、人々や企業が当地に集い成功を収める所以を具現化している。

We believe in New York, and we intend to stay here," Kumar said.

我々はニューヨークを信頼しており、今後もここに留まる」とクマール氏は述べた。

The prediction market platform states that it operates in a manner that sets it apart from conventional gambling operations.

予測市場プラットフォームは、従来のギャンブル運営とは一線を画する手法で運営されていると述べている。

This is because consumers are trading with other consumers, much in the same way that a stock market functions.

というのも、消費者は株式市場が機能するのと同様に、他の消費者と取引しているからである。

They enable participants to buy and sell contracts tied to the outcomes of events.

彼らは参加者がイベントの結果に結びついた契約を売買できるようにしている。

The platform states that prices are based on trading and that it takes only a fee from transactions.

プラットフォームは価格は取引に基づいており、取引から手数料のみを取ると述べている。

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has contested state regulation of the platform, but did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

商品先物取引委員会は、プラットフォームに対する州の規制に異議を唱えてきたが、コメント要請に対して即座に応答することはなかった。
