State challenges federal order

New York filed a lawsuit seeking an injunction against Polymarket. The state argues that the platform violates existing gambling regulations within its borders. Officials claim the Trump administration is trying to bypass these specific laws.

Court review requested

The legal action asks a judge to shut down the betting service immediately. This move comes as federal and state authorities clash over jurisdiction. The outcome will determine if the site can continue trading in New York.
