Nevada Gaming Control Board asks court to hold Kalshi in contempt12 June 2026(PRESS RELEASE) -- The Nevada Gaming Control Board today asked the First Judicial District Court for the State of Nevada to hold KalshiEX LLC in contempt of court. As the Board explained in its filing, Kalshi has not complied with the Court’s 18 May 2026, order requiring Kalshi to geofence its operations so that it does not offer or facilitate the offering of any sports-, election-, or entertainment-related event contract to anyone located in Nevada. The Board asks the Court to enter a finding of contempt and to impose significant monetary penalties for violation of the Court’s order. “The Court has required Kalshi to stop offering covered event contracts in Nevada. We will continue to vigorously enforce Nevada law to safeguard gaming in our state,” stated Nevada Gaming Control Board Chairman Mike Dreitzer. The Board has taken decisive action in recent months to halt the operations of other prediction markets in the state and has successfully restricted the operation of all unlicensed prediction markets that had been known to be operating in Nevada. The Board considers the offering of sports event contracts, along with certain other event contracts, to constitute wagering activity under NRS 463.0193 and 463.01962. As such, entities offering these contracts must be licensed in the state of Nevada. The Board has also determined that Kalshi’s operations are unlawful in Nevada and in violation of NRS 463.160, NRS 463.350, NRS 465.086, and NRS 465.092. Nevada’s public policy, as expressed by the Legislature, is that the gaming industry is vitally important to the economy of the state and the general welfare of the inhabitants and therefore must be licensed, controlled, and assisted to protect the public health, safety, morals, good order, and general welfare of the inhabitants of the state.
