Michigan court bars Kalshi sports contracts and sets $500,000 daily geolocation penalty
By SectorWire desk ·
Summary
Michigan's Ingham County Circuit Court issued a preliminary injunction on 1 September prohibiting Kalshi's sports contracts across Michigan. The order requires Kalshi to block Michigan access through a licensed third-party geolocation provider until a final order, with a $500,000 daily fine for failing to meet those requirements.
Why it matters
Kalshi must exclude Michigan customers and faces daily financial penalties if it fails to comply with the court's geolocation requirements.
