State v. operator
People of the State of New York v. QCX LLC d/b/a Polymarket US
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (removed from N.Y. Supreme Court, New York County), 1:26-cv-08338
Pending
State petition filed Sept. 24, 2026 and removed to federal court; it sits with Polymarket US's own suit before the same judge, who ordered a joint letter on Sept. 30, 2026 about a stay or status conference. No remand, stay or merits ruling found as of Oct. 21, 2026.
The question
Whether New York's enforcement suit belongs in federal or state court, and whether New York gambling law can be applied to the operator's event contracts.
New York's Attorney General filed a petition against Polymarket US the same day the company sued state officials in federal court. The removed petition is being handled alongside the company's case.
