Last March, Nevada was the first to issue a cease-and-desist to Kalshi, and now, a court has granted a 14-day temporary restraining order requiring<a href=\"https:\/\/kalshi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"> Kalshi<\/a> to block its sports, entertainment, and election contracts. The restrictions took effect on Saturday, preventing Nevada users from trading in those categories, citing the court order.<\/strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\"> Kalshi Nevada Markets<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kalshi stated, \u201cWe disagree with those restrictions, but as a law-abiding company, we\u2019re following them,\u201d and expressed confidence in their legal position. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gaming.nv.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Nevada Gaming Control Board<\/a> (NGCB) considers such event contracts a form of wagering, and with Kalshi temporarily halted, Nevada joins other platforms like Polymarket, Robinhood, Coinbase, and Crypto.com in being restricted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kalshi reportedly used user registration data to enforce these restrictions, barring Nevada residents but possibly allowing out-of-state visitors in Nevada to trade. Some categories blurred boundaries, with users able to trade on topics like Saturday Night Live or political mentions, despite restrictions on sports and entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Industry leaders support Nevada\u2019s stance. The American Gaming Association (AGA) praised the enforcement, emphasizing the importance of protecting consumers and the integrity of regulated markets. The move comes amid declining sports betting revenue and sluggish tourism, with Nevada\u2019s Super Bowl handle dropping to a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read also: <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.igamingamerika.com\/panama-implements-new-measures-to-tackle-gambling-addiction\/\">Panama Implements New Measures to Tackle Gambling Addiction<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legislation is heating up, with bills like the Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act, introduced by Senators Schiff and Curtis, aiming to ban certain event contracts. Kalshi&#8217;s CEO criticized such efforts, arguing they push prediction markets offshore. Other bills from lawmakers seek to clarify existing laws, which already prohibit unlawful betting activities, though recent legal setbacks suggest the industry\u2019s position may be shifting.<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\"> Kalshi Nevada Markets<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nevada scored a major legal victory against Kalshi, forcing the exchange to restrict certain trades in the state.
