An online betting platform is suing the Ohio Casino Control Commission and the state Attorney General’s office, saying the state has overstepped its authority by trying to stop it from offering sports futures betting.
In an Oct. 7 complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in Columbus, Kalshi says the efforts of the Ohio Casino Control Commission and Ohio Attorney General’s office have resulted in companies being nervous about doing business with them.
Kalshi is a predictive futures company, allowing users to place bets on real world events, including sporting events. The company calls its bets “events contracts,” court records say.
