Overview
Michigan’s Attorney General sued Kalshi on behalf of the Gaming Control Board (Ingham County), and Judge Rosemarie Aquilina granted a temporary restraining order (June 2026) barring unlicensed sports event contracts and threatening $120,000/day fines, while requiring licensed geolocation. The TRO preserves the status quo while the court decides whether federal commodities law or Michigan’s sports-betting law governs — even as the CFTC directed Kalshi to keep honoring pending Michigan trades. (Caption confirmed via the filed complaint: Dana Nessel, Attorney General … on behalf of the People of the State of Michigan and the Michigan Gaming Control Board v. KalshiEX LLC, Ingham County 30th Judicial Circuit, dated March 3, 2026; the federal removal docket is W.D. Mich. No. 1:26-cv-00731, since remanded.)
