Arizona accuses Kalshi of operating illegal gambling business

Authorities in Arizona have filed criminal charges against the prediction market provider Kalshi, becoming the first state to do so and setting up a legal battle that would get to the core of growing questions about the company’s business.

Included in the charges are four counts of election wagering, including bets on the 2028 presidential race, the 2026 Arizona gubernatorial race and GOP Republican primary and the 2026 Arizona secretary of State race, according to the state’s attorney office.
