A Washington state judge has ordered Kalshi, an online betting platform, to cease offering sports wagers and other bets within the state and implement geofencing. The judge determined that Kalshi is violating Washington laws prohibiting ‘illegal gambling, sports wagering, and bookmaking.’ No right-leaning sources reported on this decision. Gizmodo reports the ruling came after Kalshi continued operating despite previous warnings. Ars Technica notes the order requires Kalshi to restrict access within Washington state. This legal action underscores a growing regulatory scrutiny of online betting platforms, particularly those offering novel wager types. The case now centers on how Kalshi will comply with the geofencing requirements and whether it will appeal the judge’s decision.
