AG Nessel secured a temporary restraining order in the Ingham County Circuit Court halting KalshiEx, LLC from unlawfully offering online sports wagers to Michigan residents. The state court’s order follows a ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan last week, which granted the Attorney General’s motion to remand the lawsuit back to state court after Kalshi attempted to remove the case to the federal level.

“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.” -AG Nessel
