Nevada Gaming Control Board
The Nevada Gaming Control Board is the state regulatory agency responsible for gambling oversight in Nevada. In late January 2026, the Board sued Polymarket to halt sports-related prediction contracts, arguing they constitute unlicensed gambling under state law. This lawsuit created a federal-vs-state jurisdictional conflict, with the CFTC classifying prediction markets as derivatives while Nevada classifies them as gambling.
