Michigan judge denies Polymarket and Robinhood bid to block gambling enforcement
A federal judge in Michigan denied Polymarket and Robinhood’s requests for preliminary injunctions against state gambling enforcement on 18 June. Judge Paul L. Maloney questioned whether federal derivatives law displaced states’ authority over sports-event contracts, but said the injunction decision was not a final ruling on their legality.
The decision leaves Michigan’s gambling enforcement in place while the dispute over sports contracts continues.
