The appeal was over a lower court decision preventing Kalshi from offering certain event-based contracts<\/a> in Nevada, based on claims that the company needed a gaming license.<\/p>\n

The appellate judge overseeing Thursday\u2019s oral arguments and the lawyer for Kalshi acknowledged that there had been several state-level enforcement actions against the company and other prediction market platforms, including criminal charges filed in Arizona.
