    Italy Orders Polymarket and 292 Other Domains Blocked in Prediction-Markets Crackdown

    Federal Judge Denies Kalshi Bid to Block New York Gambling Enforcement

    A Manhattan federal judge has ruled that Kalshi's federal registration does not shield its sports contracts from New York gambling law, the prediction-market sector's most significant legal setback to date.

    North Carolina Raises Sports Betting Tax to 23%, Adds First-of-Its-Kind Prediction-Market Levy

    North Carolina's newly signed budget lifts the online sports-betting tax from 18% to 23% of gross wagering revenue and creates a 6% tax on prediction-market operators, the first state levy of its kind. The higher rate makes North Carolina one of the costlier US markets for licensed sportsbooks.

    An Ingham County judge has granted a 14-day temporary restraining order barring prediction-market operator Kalshi from offering sports event contracts to anyone in Michigan, with noncompliance carrying a penalty of $120,000 per day.
