The prediction markets operator originally filed for a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order against the NYSGC in October 2025, part of an attempt to continue offering sports event contracts to residents. 

The NYSGC issued a cease-and-desist letter to Kalshi which initiated the legal proceedings, requiring the operator to stop “advertising, promoting, administering, managing or otherwise making available sports wagering and/or a mobile sports wagering platform in New York.”
