New York is one of the more aggressive states in challenging prediction markets, so treat access as contested and check the platform before funding.

New York has moved to regulate prediction markets, and a court has supported the state’s ability to do so. Access for New Yorkers is contested and may be restricted depending on the market type. Confirm current availability in-app.

Polymarket’s availability to New York users is subject to the same contested picture. Check before funding.
