Original: Kalshi is illegal gambling and Ohio will enforce state law following ruling, says DeWine
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said that Kalshi, the prediction-markets platform, constitutes illegal gambling under state law and that Ohio will enforce its statutes following a recent court ruling. The statement signals a state-level crackdown on the sports event contracts Kalshi offers, part of a broader dispute between prediction-market operators and state gambling regulators across the United States.
Why now: A governor publicly threatening enforcement against a major prediction-market platform draws attention amid ongoing legal battles over whether event contracts are gambling.
