According to multiple reports, New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport argued that Congress did not intend to make the sports-betting industry immune from state law. "Companies like Kalshi claim to offer legal sports betting in all 50 states, but they refuse to follow the gambling laws of any state," Davenport said in a press release.
Kalshi maintains that its platform is an open, nationwide financial exchange and cannot be regulated by 50 different regulators. "We remain confident in the lower courts' rulings, and nothing in New Jersey's filing today changes our view," said Kalshi spokeswoman Dani Lever.
The Supreme Court's decision could have sweeping implications for the prediction markets industry, which offers wagering on various events, including sports. The case is expected to be decided by next summer if the court accepts the petition.
