Overview
New York’s Attorney General brought a verified petition under Executive Law § 63(12) against QCX LLC, which does business as Polymarket US, in New York County Supreme Court on September 24, 2026. It follows the same template as her petition against Kalshi: eight causes of action for repeated illegality, resting on the state constitution’s gambling clause, the Penal Law’s gambling offenses, the Racing Law’s sports-wagering licensing provisions and the federal Wire Act.
The petition asks the court to permanently bar Polymarket US from offering contracts on sports, culture, elections and other events in New York without a Gaming Commission license, and to order an accounting, restitution, damages, disgorgement, a penalty of three times its gains, and $100,000 for each unauthorized offer of sports wagering. QCX LLC is the only respondent. The Governor joined the announcement but is not a petitioner. Nothing has been decided. (Caption, court, statute and relief confirmed against the filed petition.)
Polymarket US removed the petition to federal court the same day (S.D.N.Y. No. 1:26-cv-08338), citing the federal-officer removal statute and federal-question jurisdiction, and filed its own suit against the Attorney General and the Gaming Commission. (Removal confirmed from the notice of removal, ECF No. 1.)
