TREE NEWS update: Underdog has sued Connecticut to halt the state’s crackdown on sports prediction markets, following cease-and-desist orders issued to platforms including Underdog, Polymarket and Coinbase. The lawsuit challenges the state’s authority to target prediction market operators. Underdog is seeking to stop enforcement while the case proceeds.
Underdog Sues Connecticut Over Prediction Market Crackdown
The core issue is jurisdictional: whether a state can unilaterally police prediction markets that operate across borders, or whether that authority rests elsewhere. Connecticut's move against multiple platforms, not just one, signals a coordinated enforcement posture rather than a single dispute, which raises the stakes for how these products are classified. The outcome could shape where prediction markets are permitted to operate and how aggressively other states follow. Whether the court grants relief before enforcement proceeds is the near-term question.
