Kalshi files federal lawsuit in Louisiana to challenge sports contract restrictions
Kalshi filed suit in the Western District of Louisiana against Attorney General Liz Murrill, Governor Jeff Landry and the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, seeking permanent injunctive and declaratory relief, as the exchange continues to challenge state efforts to restrict its sports event contracts.
Kalshi filed a federal lawsuit in Louisiana on October 23 over state efforts to restrict its sports event contracts, according to RG. The case adds to the exchange’s continuing challenges to state restrictions on those contracts.
The Louisiana case
The suit was filed in the Western District of Louisiana. It names Attorney General Liz Murrill, Governor Jeff Landry and the Louisiana Gaming Control Board as defendants, RG reports.
Kalshi is seeking permanent injunctive and declaratory relief. Those requests ask the court for both an order blocking the challenged restrictions and a declaration addressing the parties’ legal rights.
What remains unresolved
The reported filing establishes that Kalshi has brought its dispute with Louisiana officials into federal court. The supplied summary does not identify the specific state actions being challenged or detail the exchange’s legal arguments.
It also provides no court ruling or timetable for a decision. The request for permanent relief therefore should not be read as evidence that Kalshi has secured protection from Louisiana’s restrictions.
What it means for prediction markets
- State restrictions remain contested: The Louisiana lawsuit continues Kalshi’s effort to challenge state limits on sports event contracts.
- The requested remedy matters: Kalshi is pursuing permanent injunctive and declaratory relief, rather than merely announcing opposition to state action.
- A filing is not an outcome: The available reporting establishes the case’s venue, defendants and requested relief, but not how the court will rule.
