Kalshi Loses Ninth Circuit Rehearing Bid in Nevada Fight

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied Kalshi’s requests for a panel rehearing and a rehearing en banc in its dispute with Nevada gaming regulators, leaving in place a ruling that allows the state to enforce its gambling laws against the prediction market operator.

That is the whole significance of this round. Kalshi asked the appeals court to take another look at an earlier loss. The court declined.

According to Yogonet, the original three-judge panel unanimously rejected the petitions, and no judge requested a vote on whether the full court should rehear the case. So the prior appellate ruling stays where it was, and so does Nevada’s ability to act under its own laws.

The larger fight over prediction markets and state gambling enforcement is still larger than this procedural step. But this step went against Kalshi, and it did so without any visible appetite inside the Ninth Circuit to reopen the matter.
