Massachusetts secures preliminary injunction against Kalshi sports contracts
A Massachusetts Superior Court granted the state a preliminary injunction against Kalshi’s sports event contracts, ruling that federal law did not pre-empt state gambling regulation. The court set a schedule to implement the injunction by Friday and said it would hear either side’s request at noon that day; Kalshi could seek a stay and appeal.
The ruling may require Kalshi to obtain state licensing to offer sports-related event contracts in Massachusetts.
