TLDR The New York State Gaming Commission has asked a Manhattan court to force Kalshi to comply with subpoenas issued on July 31, 2026. The regulator wants records on Kalshi’s sports-event contracts, users under 21, advertising and corporate ownership. The Commission says it needs the records to decide whether to issue civil penalties under New York’s Racing Law. Kalshi also faces legal action from Utah, Connecticut and the New York Attorney General, while Ohio has set an October 30 deadline for its licensees. The CFTC has sued New York and three other states, arguing event contracts fall only under federal oversight.
New York’s gaming regulator has asked a state court to force Kalshi to turn over records tied to its sports-event contracts. The New York State Gaming Commission says the prediction market operator has not complied with subpoenas issued in the summer.
The petition names Kalshi Inc. and KalshiEX LLC as respondents. It was filed with the New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan, and the court logged it as received on October 22, 2026.
The Commission is represented by the office of Attorney General Letitia James. The filing became public on October 23, when sports betting attorney Daniel Wallach shared pages from it on X.
