Polymarket takes legal action against Ohio officials over local sports betting regulations

Polymarket’s U.S. exchange has filed a lawsuit in federal court against Ohio’s attorney general and casino regulators, asserting that the state’s sports gaming licensing regulations unfairly discriminate against businesses located outside of Ohio and cannot be enforced against a federally regulated exchange. Under the name QCX LLC, Polymarket US submitted its complaint on October 16 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. This filing follows the Ohio Casino Control Commission’s deadline for the company to confirm that it ceased offering sports event contracts within the state.
