Nevada files to block Polymarket from offering ‘unlicensed wagering’ in the state

The Nevada Gaming Control Board has filed to block Polymarket operations in the state, describing them as “unlicensed wagering.”

The Board filed a civil enforcement action on January 16, requesting an injunction to block prediction market Polymarket from offering “unlicensed wagering in violation of Nevada law”. This means that Polymarket could be formally ordered by the court to cease operations in Nevada, although the company could still file a counter-suit or an appeal to try and avoid this.
