Nevada Wins Major Sports Betting Ruling | Las Vegas News

Nevada just landed a major legal victory as the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that its gaming laws fully apply to prediction markets like those run by Kalshi, shutting down claims that federal law shields them from state regulation. The court’s decision confirms these platforms are essentially sports bets in disguise — subject to Nevada’s licensing and oversight rules — a win for state officials who’ve long argued these markets undermine fair play and regulatory integrity. While this ruling is a powerful endorsement of Nevada’s stance, it may not be the final word, with potential appeals to the Supreme Court looming. The decision sends a clear message: no matter what you call it, if it’s betting on sports outcomes, Nevada gets to regulate it.
