Polymarket countersues New York officials over gambling lawsuit

Polymarket filed a civil complaint against New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James after they sued over its sports-event markets, according to the report. The company seeks a ruling that federal law pre-empts New York gambling laws and has also asked to move the case to federal court; the state officials allege that Polymarket operates an illegal, unlicensed gambling operation.
