Massachusetts judge orders Kalshi to halt sports contracts during state case
A Massachusetts judge granted Attorney General Andrea Campbell’s request for a preliminary injunction barring Kalshi from operating its sports event contracts in the state while the lawsuit proceeds. The case alleges that Kalshi’s contracts violate state sports betting laws; Judge Christopher Barry-Smith found that the state had a strong prospect of success and that the Commodity Exchange Act did not displace state gambling laws.
The injunction affects Kalshi’s ability to offer sports event contracts in Massachusetts while the state’s case continues.
