Is Polymarket US legal in Nevada?

Sports blocked Nevada: Court order in force

The short answer

Polymarket US's sports contracts are blocked in Nevada. Nevada's attorney general announced on June 3, 2026 that a state-court preliminary injunction against QCX LLC (Polymarket) bars sports-, election- and entertainment-related contracts in Nevada while the state's enforcement action continues. A written order was still to follow at the time. After a January 2026 temporary restraining order, the Polymarket app showed Nevada users a notice that trading was not allowed in the state (reported February 2, 2026). CBS Sports reported on October 21, 2026 that the Polymarket US app operates in every state except Nevada. This is a press report, not a Polymarket statement.

Nevada has one public action on record that names Polymarket US. The latest (court order, Jan. 29, 2026): Judge Jason Woodbury of the Carson City district court issued a 14-day TRO in the Board's case against Blockratize (Polymarket); a preliminary injunction followed and was amended on May 29, 2026.

Federal appeals from Nevada go to the Ninth Circuit, which ruled for the states on Aug. 28, 2026.
