4月3日（路透社）——内华达州一名法官周五延长了对预测市场运营商Kalshi的禁令，禁止该公司在未获得博彩执照的情况下，推出允许该州居民对体育赛事及其他事项下注的事件合约。
卡森市一场庭审结束后，法官贾森·伍德伯里表示，他将下达内华达州博彩管制委员会寻求的初步禁令，禁止Kalshi在本州未持有博彩执照的情况下推出此类合约。

总部位于纽约的Kalshi的一名律师辩称，此类合约属于“掉期交易”，受美国商品期货交易委员会的专属管辖，该机构在相关诉讼中也持这一立场。
但伍德伯里并不认同，他表示，就像人们可以通过州许可的博彩运营商对棒球比赛下注100美元一样，人们也可以通过Kalshi的平台购买体育赛事合约，本质上做着同样的事。
“无论你怎么解读，这种行为都没有区别，”他说。“因此，基于目前提交的论点，我认定这是一种博彩活动，任何未持有执照的机构都不得从事此类活动。”

他将自己3月20日下达的为期14天的临时限制令延长至4月17日，该禁令原本禁止推出体育、选举和娱乐相关的事件合约。延长禁令是为了留出时间敲定一份长期有效的禁令条款。
Kalshi未立即回应置评请求。
内华达州是唯一一个通过法院强制执行禁令、切实禁止总部位于纽约的Kalshi开展业务的州，这场关于各州监管预测市场权力的法律战不断升级，Kalshi已成为这场争端的核心焦点。
包括Kalshi在内的此类公司允许其预测市场的用户通过交易“事件合约”，就体育赛事、选举等各类事件的结果进行金融投注。
美国商品期货交易委员会于周四起诉了三个州，质疑它们监管Kalshi这类公司的权力。这三个州包括亚利桑那州，该州上月成为首个以在本州开展非法博彩业务为由，对Kalshi提起刑事指控的州。
马萨诸塞州一名法官下达的禁止Kalshi在该州推出体育赛事合约的禁令，目前因该公司提起上诉而暂缓执行。

April 3 (Reuters) – A Nevada judge on Friday extended a ban on prediction market operator Kalshi from offering event-based contracts that would allow the state’s residents to place bets on sports and other matters without the company obtaining a gaming license.
Judge Jason Woodbury at the end of a court hearing in Carson City said he would issue a preliminary injunction sought by the Nevada Gaming Control Board that will bar Kalshi from offering such contracts in the state without a gambling license.

A lawyer for New York-based Kalshi argued that such contracts constitute “swaps” that fall under the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s exclusive jurisdiction, a position the agency has likewise adopted in related litigation.
But Woodbury was unconvinced, saying just as he could place a $100 bet through a state-licensed gaming operator on a baseball game, he could also effectively do the same thing by buying a sporting event contract on Kalshi’s platform.
“No matter how you slice it, that conduct is indistinguishable,” he said. “So I find based on the arguments that have been presented that it is a gaming activity that is prohibited for any non-licensee to engage in.”

He extended an earlier 14-day temporary restraining order he issued on March 20 barring the offering of sports, elections and entertainment-related event contracts through April 17 to provide time to finalize the terms of an injunction that would remain in place longer term.
Kalshi did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Nevada is the only state to have secured a court-enforced, in-effect ban against New York-based Kalshi, which has become a central focus in an escalating legal battle over the power of states to police prediction markets.
Companies like Kalshi allow users of their prediction markets to place financial bets on the outcome of a wide range of events such as sports and elections by trading “events contracts.”
The CFTC sued three states on Thursday to challenge their ability to regulate companies like Kalshi. Those states include Arizona, which last month became the first state to pursue criminal charges against Kalshi for operating an illegal gambling business in the state.
An injunction issued by a Massachusetts judge blocking Kalshi from offering sports event contracts in that state is on hold while the company appeals.
