The suit demands Kalshi shut down, repay customers, and forfeit profits — all while highlighting concerns over insider trading and bets on sensitive events like military actions. Governor Hochul backs the move, calling it a necessary stand against illegal betting, while Kalshi fires back, insisting it’s a federally regulated trading platform, not a casino — and warns the lawsuit will just drive users offshore. This isn’t Kalshi’s first rodeo — similar legal battles are brewing across states, all centered on whether “event contracts” are gambling or legitimate trading — and the answer could reshape how prediction markets operate nationwide.
