""This is a state enforcement action," the filing states, describing how regulators sued Polymarket for offering sports and event-based betting in Nevada without complying with licensing rules."
""The court also pointed to risks tied to underage access and missing consumer safeguards," highlighting the concerns regulators had regarding Polymarket's operations."
""Polymarket quickly shifted the fight into federal court, claiming its operations fall under federal oversight and that national law overrides Nevada's rules," illustrating the company's legal strategy."
""Nevada's response was that the request doesn't meet the legal standard for a pause," emphasizing the state's position on the matter."
Nevada regulators are pushing the Ninth Circuit to keep a gambling case against Polymarket moving forward, arguing that the company lacks grounds to pause proceedings. The Nevada Gaming Control Board claims the case involves state compliance issues related to unlicensed betting. Regulators initially took action against Polymarket in January 2026 for offering unauthorized betting. A state judge supported regulators, citing potential violations of gambling law. Polymarket's appeal to federal court was rejected, leading to its current request for a pause during the appeal process, which Nevada argues is unwarranted.
