Investing.com -- A Nevada judge issued a temporary restraining order on Friday that prevents prediction market operator Kalshi from offering event contracts to state residents without a license.
Carson City District Court Judge Jason Woodbury granted the order at the request of the Nevada Gaming Control Board. The ruling blocks Kalshi from allowing Nevada residents to place financial bets on its platform related to sports, elections and entertainment.
