On Thursday, New York State filed a lawsuit against the prediction market platform Polymarket, alleging that the platform is operating an unlicensed gambling business, and asked a judge to prohibit the company from operating 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Polymarketを提訴し、同プラットフォームが無許可のギャンブル運営を行っていると主張して、同社の州内での営業を禁止するよう裁判官に求めた。

This lawsuit represents the latest legal challenge by a state seeking to regulate a popular betting app that is now ubiquitous and allows users to wager on almost anything, including sports, weather, elections, and technology.

この訴訟は、スポーツ、天気、選挙、テクノロジーなど、ほとんど何にでも賭けられる、人気で今やどこにでもあるベッティングアプリを規制しようとする州による最新の法的挑戦である。

Prediction market platforms have argued that, because they are subject to federal-level regulation by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), states have no authority to govern them.

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を受けているため、州にはそれらを統治する権限がないと主張してきた。

On Thursday, New York State authorities filed a lawsuit against Polymarket in state court, seeking an order requiring the company to pay fines and compensation to users on the grounds that the platform has not obtained a state gaming license.

ニューヨーク州当局は木曜日、Polymarketに対し州裁判所で訴訟を提起し、同プラットフォームが州のゲーミングライセンスを取得していないことを理由に、同社への罰金とユーザーへの賠償支払いを命じるよう求めている。

The state has previously sued other platforms, including Kalshi, Coinbase, and Gemini, using a similar line of argument.

州は以前にも、同様の論法でKalshi、Coinbase、Geminiなどの他のプラットフォームを提訴している。

"By operating an unlicensed gambling operation, Polymarket not only deliberately violated state law, but also put New Yorkers at risk, 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運営を行ったことで、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, Neal Kumar, Polymarket's chief legal officer, declared unequivocally, "We will fight for our users."

Polymarketの最高法務責任者であるニール・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」と明言した。

"Polymarket was founded in a small apartment in New York City, and today we have over 350 employees here, embodying the very reason why people and businesses come here to succeed.

「Polymarketはニューヨーク市の小さなアパートで設立され、現在ここに350人以上の従業員がおり、人々や企業がここに来て成功する理由を体現している。

We believe in New York, and we are staying here," Kumar said.

我々はニューヨークを信じており、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方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.

なぜなら、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 outcome 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 opposed state regulation of the platform, but it did not immediately respond 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反対してきたが、コメントの要請にはすぐには応じなかった。
