Kalshi faces sports contract restrictions on two California tribes’ lands
U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley granted the injunction for the lands of Blue Lake Rancheria and the Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians, covering sports including football, basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis and UFC events. The tribes must provide boundary maps by November 13, and Kalshi must report its compliance steps within 21 days.
A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction preventing Kalshi from offering sports event contracts on the lands of two California tribes, according to The Block.
U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley granted the injunction covering Blue Lake Rancheria and the Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians. The restriction is tied to those tribal lands, rather than a statewide prohibition.
Scope and compliance deadlines
The injunction covers sports event contracts involving football, basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis and UFC events, according to The Block.
The tribes must submit maps defining their boundaries by November 13. Kalshi must report the steps it takes to comply within 21 days.
What it means for prediction markets
- Geography defines the restriction: The injunction bars Kalshi’s sports event contracts on the two tribes’ lands; the provided reporting does not describe a broader ban.
- Compliance is the next development to watch: The boundary maps and Kalshi’s required report will be central to tracking implementation.
- The ruling is preliminary: It establishes an immediate restriction, not a reported final resolution of the dispute.
