Kalshi has been barred from offering its online sports wagers in Michigan, Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Wednesday.
Nessel’s office says she secured a preliminary injunction against KalshiEx, LLC, halting the prediction market company from “unlawfully offering online sports wagers in Michigan. ”
The AG’s office says the preliminary injunction requires Kalshi to maintain geofencing to block Michigan residents and those within Michigan’s borders from having access to its “illegal sports betting contracts. ”
Violations of the order would result in a $500,000 per day fine, according to Nessel’s office.
“Kalshi long attempted to pass itself off as a legitimate gaming operation in our state, and I am relieved that this order further protects Michigan residents from its predatory, unlicensed practices,” Nessel said, per a press release.
