Kalshi counters Nevada regulators, accusing them of violating federal law during their investigation.

According to Reuters, prediction market platform Kalshi accused Nevada’s gaming regulator on Saturday of violating federal law during an investigation into its geofencing measures. Earlier, the regulator had sought a $120,000 daily fine against Kalshi over allegations that the platform failed to implement a full geofencing plan as ordered by a court. Court documents show that on the day after the relevant compliance deadline, Nevada regulator investigators successfully completed nine transactions on Kalshi’s mobile app via local cellular networks. Kalshi said it had hired GeoComply, a firm licensed by the local gaming regulator, to provide geofencing services as required by the state, and had continuously reported implementation progress to the regulator. Kalshi’s lawyers claimed that Nevada investigators provided false residential addresses to the platform during testing, allegedly violating federal law, and at least one investigator bypassed Kalshi’s own blocking measures. In April this year, a Nevada judge issued a preliminary injunction barring Kalshi from offering related contract trading in the state without obtaining a gaming license.
