A King County Superior Court judge issued a final order requiring KalshiEX to cease many of its Washington operations after finding that Kalshi likely violated the Washington Gambling Act and the Consumer Protection Act by running an illegal gambling operation in Washington.

“Kalshi has gotten rich promoting wagers on sports, elections, natural disasters, events related to the Iran War, and more. Under this order, Kalshi is banned from offering wagers on most of those topics in Washington. As this case moves forward, we will continue to enforce Washington law and hold Kalshi accountable for misleading consumers.” – AG Brown
