New York Sues to Prevent Kalshi From Operating in the State
The state of New York is suing prediction market Kalshi to stop it from operating in the state, arguing the platform amounts to unlicensed gambling. This also means Kalshi has been "sidestepping its obligation to pay taxes like licensed casinos and mobile sports gambling platforms do," it says. The lawsuit challenges Kalshi’s framing as merely dealing in financial derivatives tied to the outcomes of public events; for example, the location of Taylor Swift’s wedding or when a US government shutdown will occur.
