Arkansas attorney general says Kalshi event contracts meet state gambling definition

Regulation

Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin’s opinion concludes that Kalshi’s event contracts would qualify as gambling under state law if users risk money on future events. The opinion was issued in response to a request from Senator Bryan King and says the activity would require gaming licensing; it left two of four questions unanswered after its first conclusion made them moot.

The opinion sets out a state-law basis for requiring gaming licences for Kalshi’s event contracts.
