New York Sues Polymarket, Calling Prediction Market an Illegal Gambling Operation
纽约州起诉 Polymarket，称预测市场为非法赌博运营
New York Attorney General Letitia James and Governor Kathy Hochul on Thursday filed a lawsuit against crypto-based prediction market Polymarket, accusing the platform of running an unlicensed gambling operation in the state.
纽约州总检察长莱蒂蒂亚·詹姆斯（Letitia James）和州长凯西·霍切尔（Kathy Hochul）于周四对基于加密货币的预测市场 Polymarket 提起诉讼，指控该平台在该州经营无牌照的赌博业务。
An investigation by the Attorney General’s office concluded that these markets meet New York’s legal definition of gambling because users stake money on uncertain outcomes they cannot control.
总检察长办公室的调查结论认为，这些市场符合纽约州对赌博的法律定义，因为用户将资金投入他们无法控制的不确定结果中。
Polymarket never obtained a license from the New York State Gaming Commission, the suit alleges, and so avoided the taxes that licensed casinos and mobile sportsbooks pay. That revenue helps fund public schools, youth sports programs and problem gambling treatment.
诉讼指控 Polymarket 从未获得纽约州博彩委员会颁发的许可证，从而规避了持牌赌场和移动体育博彩平台需缴纳的税款。这些收入有助于资助公立学校、青少年体育项目和问题赌博治疗服务。
The suit comes as regulators like the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission are working to regulate crypto-powered prediction markets.
此次诉讼之际，证券交易委员会（SEC）和商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）等监管机构正致力于规范由加密货币驱动的预测市场。
Polymarket and rival Kalshi argue they aren’t gambling sites at all, but rather federally regulated exchanges offering “event contracts,” a type of derivative, which would put them under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission rather than state gaming laws.
Polymarket 及其竞争对手 Kalshi 辩称，它们根本不是赌博网站，而是受联邦监管的交易场所，提供“事件合约”（event contracts），这是一种衍生品类型，因此应归商品期货交易委员会监管，而非受各州博彩法律管辖。
The CFTC agrees, and it has joined the fight on the platforms’ side. In 2026 it sued nine states, arguing that it should have exclusive nationwide authority over the industry.
CFTC 对此表示赞同，并已加入战斗站在平台一方。2026年，CFTC 起诉了九个州，主张其应对该行业拥有全国性的独家管辖权。
Thursday’s complaint also says the platform is open to users aged 18 to 20, although New York requires mobile sports bettors to be at least 21.
周四的投诉还指出，该平台允许 18 至 20 岁的用户使用，而纽约州要求移动体育投注者必须年满 21 岁。
“By skirting New York’s laws, Polymarket is targeting the most vulnerable,” James said. Hochul added that the company had “knowingly” violated state law and put underage users at risk.
詹姆斯表示：“通过规避纽约州的法律法规，Polymarket 正在瞄准最脆弱的群体。”霍切尔补充说，该公司“明知故犯”地违反了州法律，并将未成年用户置于风险之中。
The state is asking a court to bar Polymarket from operating as an unlicensed gambling business in New York. It also wants the company to forfeit its illegal gains, repay harmed users and pay fines equal to three times those gains.
该州请求法院禁止 Polymarket 在纽约州作为无牌照赌博企业运营。该州还希望该公司没收其非法所得，赔偿受损用户，并缴纳相当于非法所得三倍金额的罚款。
The lawsuit is the latest in a string of New York actions against gambling-adjacent platforms. James and Hochul sued rival prediction market Kalshi in July, and James sued Coinbase and Gemini in April over similar claims. Earlier this month, James secured $8 million from the leading operator of sweepstakes casinos.
这起诉讼是纽约州针对与赌博相关的平台采取的一系列行动中的最新一起。今年7月，詹姆斯和霍切尔起诉了竞争对手预测市场 Kalshi；4月，詹姆斯以类似理由起诉了 Coinbase 和 Gemini。本月早些时候，詹姆斯从领先的抽奖式赌场运营商处获得了 800 万美元。
Polymarket launched in the United States in December 2025, initially letting users bet on sporting events with plans to expand into markets on a wide range of topics.
Polymarket 于 2025 年 12 月在美国推出，最初允许用户对体育赛事进行投注，并计划扩展到涵盖广泛主题的市场。
