Ninth Circuit hears tribes’ bid to block Kalshi sports contracts on reservations
Three California tribes asked the Ninth Circuit on 10 June to revive their bid to stop Kalshi offering sports-event contracts on their lands while their lawsuit proceeds. Kalshi argues its exchange falls under federal commodities law, while the tribes say the contracts amount to unauthorised sports betting under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act; the appeal challenges a lower court’s denial of an injunction.
The appeal could affect whether tribal governments can challenge sports contracts offered on their lands.
