A Michigan judge has ordered Kalshi to implement geofencing technology for its sports contracts, imposing a $500,000 daily fine for non-compliance. The ruling extends a temporary restraining order that currently blocks the platform from offering or advertising these contracts within the state.
Location-Based Access Mandate
The court directive requires Kalshi to restrict platform access based on precise user coordinates. Failure to enforce the geofencing system will trigger the specified daily financial penalty. The measure ensures the company operates only within authorized geographic boundaries while the legal review continues.The extended temporary restraining order maintains the current prohibition on Kalshi’s sports contract promotions in Michigan. The restriction remains active while the platform adjusts its technical infrastructure to meet the new location verification requirements.
