Maryland prediction-market notices and source record

Separate an agency’s dated notice from the later court history and from a platform’s own access claims.

Writer: Ian St. ClairEditor: Mike Epifani

Informational source check: 2026-11-05. No platform availability list, operator recommendation or legal opinion is supplied.

A dated agency action

Maryland Lottery and Gaming’s April 7, 2025 letter directed Kalshi to stop the offerings described in the notice. The letter explains the agency’s position on the specific sports-related contracts it reviewed. It establishes the agency action on that date, not a complete account of every later order or appeal.

The agency’s public index

The agency’s current public index page links an event-prediction-market notification and its cease-and-desist documents. That source is useful for locating the agency’s own record. Inclusion in an index does not by itself determine the present effect of litigation.

Check the latest action

Before describing a particular product as available or permitted, identify the product, its applicable contract type and the most recent court or agency action. This page does not supply a current Maryland legal opinion or endorse an access route.

Important information

In the United States, certain event contracts are offered through Designated Contract Markets (DCMs) subject to oversight by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Regulatory arrangements and product availability differ between platforms and jurisdictions. CFTC oversight does not constitute approval or endorsement of any particular contract. Event contracts are derivatives products, not sports betting or gambling products, and are not licensed by any state gaming or gambling regulator.

Trading event contracts involves substantial risk of loss. You may lose some or all of the funds you use to trade. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
