Michigan court issues temporary restraining order against Kalshi
The order temporarily stops the operator from taking wagers on sports in Michigan.
US.- Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has secured a temporary restraining order in the Ingham County Circuit Court preventing Kalshi from offering or advertising online sports wagers in the state via its prediction platform.
Attorney General Nessel filed a lawsuit against Kalshi in March, alleging that Kalshi was violating the state’s Lawful Sports Betting Act (LSBA). The US District Court for the Western District of Michigan last week granted the attorney general’s motion to remand the lawsuit back to state court after Kalshi attempted to move the case to the federal level.
Nessel said: “Our gambling laws exist to protect Michiganders from unlicensed, predatory operations, and failing to comply with them carries serious legal consequences. I am proud of the attorneys in my office who not only kept this case in state court but also secured an order protecting residents as this litigation moves forward. We remain committed to enforcing a level playing field for all gambling platforms in Michigan and ensuring that companies cannot evade accountability or exploit consumers under the guise of a prediction market.”
