Polymarket, DraftKings accused of violating South Carolina ban on sports betting

A South Carolina lawyer is suing Polymarket and DraftKings, claiming they violate the state's 1912 sports betting ban by offering prediction markets as event contracts. The lawsuit, filed under a colonial-era law, accuses the companies of fueling gambling addiction and exploiting bettors through rigged systems. Similar past lawsuits against Kalshi and Robinhood were previously filed in the state.
