MGCB withdraws from NCPG over Kalshi membership
Michigan’s MGCB withdrew its membership from the National Council on Problem Gambling, citing the council’s admission of Kalshi. The board said the association risked confusing consumers about protections and licensing; the NCPG had said it does not take positions on the legality of specific platforms. Michigan staff will leave the council’s boards and committees, and the state cancelled its conference sponsorship.
Regulators and operators should note that Kalshi’s NCPG membership has strained relations over consumer protections and licensing.
