亚利桑那州总检察长周二对Kalshi提起刑事指控，称该预测市场平台存在非法赌博行为和选举投注。
这份在亚利桑那州马里科帕县提起的诉讼状包含针对Kalshi的20项单独指控，称该公司接受亚利桑那州居民的投注，违反了州法律。亚利桑那州总检察长克里斯·梅斯办公室发布的声明称，相关投注涉及体育赛事、个人球员表现、立法以及州和联邦选举等事件。
“Kalshi可能将自己标榜为‘预测市场’，但实际上它正在运营非法赌博业务并对亚利桑那州的选举进行投注，这两项行为均违反了亚利桑那州法律，”梅斯在声明中表示。
针对Kalshi的20项指控中，有4项涉及选举投注，其余16项与博彩和投注相关。
Kalshi称这些刑事指控“站不住脚”，并表示各州无权监管全国性金融交易所。
“正如其他法院所认可且商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）所确认的，Kalshi受联邦管辖，”一位发言人在给CBS新闻的电子邮件中表示，“这与体育博彩公司和赌场为客户提供的服务不同，不应受到各州不一致法律的拼凑式监管。”

Arizona files criminal charges against Kalshi, alleging it is engaged in illegal gambling
March 17, 2026 / 3:42 PM EDT / CBS News
Arizona’s attorney general on Tuesday filed criminal charges against Kalshi, alleging the prediction market platform is engaging in illegal gambling practices and election wagering.
The complaint, filed in Maricopa County, Arizona, includes 20 separate counts against Kalshi, claiming the company accepted bets from Arizona residents in violation of state law. The bets in question focused on events including sporting contests, individual player performance, legislation and state and federal elections, according to a statement issued by Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes’ office.
“Kalshi may brand itself as a ‘prediction market,’ but what it’s actually doing is running an illegal gambling operation and taking bets on Arizona elections, both of which violate Arizona law,” Mayes said in the statement.
Four of the counts against Kalshi are on election wagering, while the remaining 16 are related to betting and wagering.
Kalshi called the criminal charges “paper thin” and said states don’t have the authority to regulate a national financial exchange.
“As other courts have recognized and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission affirms, Kalshi is subject to federal jurisdiction,” a spokesperson told CBS News in an email. “It’s different from what sportsbooks and casinos offer their customers, and it should not be overseen by a patchwork of inconsistent state laws.”
