Michigan judge denies Polymarket request to block state enforcement
US District Judge Paul L. Maloney denied Polymarket’s request for a temporary restraining order in Michigan, leaving the case to proceed without immediate relief. The judge said Polymarket had not shown an imminent threat of enforcement; its request for a preliminary injunction remains pending, and the dispute concerns whether sports event contracts fall under federal or state oversight.
The ruling leaves Polymarket without temporary protection from potential Michigan enforcement while its broader legal challenge continues.
