The Michigan Gaming Control Board left the National Council on Problem Gambling over the decision to partner with Kalshi.
In a letter addressed to NCPG Executive Director Heather Maurer, the regulator noted Michigan’s temporary restraining order against Kalshi that prevents its operations in the state through July 13. The letter to Maurer was addressed Wednesday but the MGCB announced the news Thursday afternoon.
By working with Kalshi, which is suing and being sued by multiple states over the right to offer sports contracts on prediction markets, the NCPG “directly undermines state enforcement actions and risks weakening the positions of state regulatory bodies nationwide,” MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams said.
