Nevada gaming regulator sues Polymarket over unlicensed event contracts

Enforcement & compliance

Nevada's Gaming Control Board filed a civil enforcement action in Carson City against Blockratize, the company behind Polymarket, seeking to stop it offering event contracts the regulator considers unauthorised betting. The board says sports-related and certain other contracts require state licensing; Polymarket did not comment.

The case could determine whether Polymarket can offer event contracts to customers in Nevada without a state gaming licence.
