Utah files criminal charges against prediction market Kalshi

Original: Utah charges Kalshi and its CEO with illegally promoting online gambling

Utah prosecutors have charged the prediction-market platform Kalshi and its chief executive with illegally promoting online gambling, escalating a regulatory fight over whether event contracts amount to sports betting. The case tests whether platforms that let users wager on outcomes like elections and sports results can operate outside state gambling laws, and other states and regulators are watching closely.

Why now: Kalshi's rapid growth in sports and event wagering has triggered a broader legal battle over prediction markets versus gambling regulation.
