A court in Washington state has ordered Kalshi to cease providing various types of predictive contracts to users within the state, ruling that this directly conflicts with the previous approval granted to CFTC to continue operating such services.

美国华盛顿州一名法官已下达最终命令,要求预测市场平台 Kalshi 停止在该州提供多类事件合约。州检方称,法院认为 Kalshi 很可能违反了华盛顿州《赌博法》和《消费者保护法》,相关业务构成非法赌博经营。

法院要求限期下线并设地理围栏

根据命令,Kalshi 不得在华盛顿州提供、接受或促成多类押注,范围包括体育、选举、政治、娱乐、文化、科技与科学,以及“mentions”类合约。这类产品允许用户押注某位公众人物是否会说出特定词语。

法院还要求平台在 8 月 19 日前启用基于 IP 地址和居住地信息的地理围栏,并在 9 月 2 日前上线多来源地理围栏方案。州总检察长办公室表示,被限制的合约类别已覆盖 Kalshi 业务中的相当大部分,其中体育相关产品占比正在上升。

广告推广也被一并禁止

法院同时禁止 Kalshi 在华盛顿州宣传上述合约,认定其对非法赌博产品的营销可能构成“不公平或欺骗性行为”。

州检方在起诉材料中提到,Kalshi 曾发布一则推广帖文,内容显示一名用户发短信称,自己“即使住在华盛顿,也找到押注 NFL 的办法”。检方据此主张,平台知晓其产品正在绕开州法律限制。

州政府与 CFTC 立场正面冲突

这项裁定发布前两天,美国商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)刚动用紧急权力,要求 Kalshi 继续按照《商品交易法》的核心原则运营。该决定源于平台在纽约起诉后,向监管方通报所谓“市场紧急情况”。

CFTC 的立场是,事件合约属于跨州衍生品交易,不应受各州博彩法约束。华盛顿州则认为,Kalshi 的每一笔押注都以金钱押注不确定事件结果,符合州法律对赌博的定义。

围绕这一问题,Kalshi 已起诉 9 个州。相关诉讼最早涉及伊利诺伊州、亚利桑那州和康涅狄格州,之后又扩展至威斯康星州和明尼苏达州。其间,特朗普也公开支持 Kalshi,并抨击反对预测市场的州官员。

此前临时禁令已释放明确信号

此次最终命令,建立在 7 月一项初步禁令基础上。法官当时认为,如果不限制 Kalshi 继续运营,华盛顿州消费者很可能面临“重大损害”。

在此之后,华盛顿州上诉法院也拒绝了 Kalshi 提出的暂缓执行请求。这意味着,尽管 Kalshi 获得联邦监管机构支持,但其在州法院层面的阻力仍在扩大。
