    Kalshi exploits uninformed retail “traders” (gamblers) and helps transfer wealth to informed whales/insiders

    Kris Mayes is always fighting for Arizona’s best interests, whether there is a reelection or not. The whining that’s coming out of Kalshi… you ruin peoples lives dude..go away.

    Corporate 101 – I want as few regulatory bodies as possible governing me as possible. If the US regulated Kalshi and EU did as well, Kalshi would try to find a super governance body and fight it there. Amazon doesn’t charge state sales taxes across the board, but some states do not force sales taxes. “The internet doesn’t know borders” is also a corporate falacy. A crow doesn’t care about borders. People do. You have to write regional rulesets, even state rulesets, into the application. Harder? Sure. Impossible? 100% absolutely not. With AI, piece of cake (I write/test/deploy code).

    Thank you AZ AG for filing the suit. Federal Preemption is not absolute. Kalshi is betting on the outcome of an event. SEC deals with Equity Security. What investment stake does Kalshi sell equity for? If an event happens on a stock traded on the NYSE/NASDAQ/Nikkei/etc. I still own that equity. It’s just smaller. Kalshi, Polymarket, Casinos, and Draft Kings all deal with the SAME thing – People bet on an event, event happens, people are paid or lose. There are no equities or securities on Kalshi, therefore, gambling.
