Polymarket US reported available under federal regulation in California

CBS Sports reported on 5 September 2026 that Polymarket US, including its app and polymarket.us, operates in California as a federally licensed prediction market regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

The report said eligible users physically located in California can trade event contracts, including sports outcomes, after meeting identity verification, geolocation and other platform requirements. Available contracts may cover game results, season outcomes and player performances.

Polymarket US lists “Yes” and “No” positions that settle according to specified outcomes. The report distinguishes the US platform from polymarket.com, which it describes as unavailable in the United States.

CBS Sports also promoted a $50 trading-credit offer for eligible new users who deposit at least $10 using the code CBSSPORTS. The credit is non-withdrawable until used, expires after 30 days and is subject to terms; any resulting earnings may convert to withdrawable cash.

The legal and regulatory claims were presented in a promotional CBS Sports article and were not independently verified in the supplied material. Prediction-market trading carries a risk of substantial loss, and participation may be restricted or prohibited in some jurisdictions.
