On October 28, 2026, the Utah Attorney General's Office filed 14 criminal charges (frequently described as 13-14 counts of gambling violations and profiting from illegal activity) against prediction market operator Kalshi (KalshiEx LLC) and its co-founders, CEO Tarek Mansour and COO Luana Lopes Lara.
Summary of the Charges
• Second-degree felony: 1 count of a pattern of unlawful activity • Third-degree felonies: 12 counts of online gambling promotion (stemming from 12 separate sports wagers placed by a state investigator using a Utah IP address and totaling $114.87) • Class A misdemeanor: 1 count of general gambling promotion
The Core Dispute
• Utah’s Position: State officials—led by Attorney General Derek Brown—argue that Kalshi is illegally offering sports betting and event contracts to Utah residents in direct violation of the state's strict constitutional ban on gambling, noting that a federal judge ruled in August 2026 that Utah's anti-gambling laws apply to Kalshi. • Kalshi’s Position: Kalshi has called the prosecution a "crazy overreach" and "playing politics," maintaining that it is a federally regulated prediction market operating under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The CFTC even filed a lawsuit against Utah to try to block state enforcement against the platform. |
