# 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.
