After gambling bankruptcy, banned bettor turns to Kalshi
Original: After bankruptcy, he was banned from sports betting sites. Then he found Kalshi
NPR reports on a gambler who declared bankruptcy and was barred from major sports betting sites, but then resumed betting through Kalshi, a US prediction-markets platform that operates under different federal oversight and is not covered by state gambling exclusion lists. The story highlights how self-exclusion programs and gambling addiction safeguards can be circumvented as prediction markets expand rapidly in the United States.
Why now: Concern is growing over gambling addiction loopholes as prediction-market platforms like Kalshi grow quickly and fall outside traditional betting regulations.
