New York sues Kalshi: Hochul and James call prediction-market platform an illegal gambling operation
On July 31, Gov. Hochul and AG James announced New York has sued KalshiEX LLC, alleging its prediction-market platform is an unlicensed, illegal gambling operation that exposes New Yorkers — including those under 21 — to financial risk. The suit seeks forfeiture of illegal gains, consumer restitution, and treble fines. At least four other states (MA, MI, NV, WA) have won court orders restricting Kalshi.
