New York (USA): all our coverage

Letitia James has not filed a new advertising suit: she wants a state court to enforce a fraud-inquiry subpoena. Kalshi wants a federal judge to stop it as disguised discovery in her gambling case.

A federal appeals panel took hours to deny Kalshi and Coinbase protection from New York and Connecticut while their appeals run. The order gives no reasons and decides only interim relief, although two judges voiced doubts about the swaps theory in court.

New York's annual report on the impact of mobile sports wagering on problem gamblers shows calls to the state's gambling helpline fell by about a sixth in 2025, even as handle and self-exclusions rose. The report presents the figure as growth since 2020, and still says little about who is being harmed.

Kalshi has asked a federal court in Louisiana to bar the state from enforcing its gambling laws against its sports contracts, although Louisiana has brought no case against it. The suit targets the enforcement powers that took effect on 1 August, and it opens the prediction market fight in the Fifth Circuit.

New York's gambling regulator wants a Manhattan court to make Kalshi hand over records on its sports contracts, under-21 users and advertising, saying it needs them to decide on civil penalties. It is a second state route to a penalty alongside the attorney general's $36 billion suit, and it seeks documents, not a halt to trading.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has opened a false-certification proceeding against two ProphetX contracts on whether an NFL game produces a never-before-seen final score, and stayed them before they traded. It is the first stay of a sports event contract on the CFTC's 2026 filings record, and it turns on the same "economic consequence" test the agency says sports contracts pass.

Three Democrats who have spent since August questioning FanDuel's VIP programme have now asked DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars, Fanatics, Kalshi and Polymarket to say how much their top customers lost before and after they were enrolled. The letters are requests, not findings, and the companies have until 5 November to answer.

New York's commercial casinos took $184.3 million in September, more than three times a year earlier, but almost all of the rise is Resorts World New York City moving from the video lottery reports into the casino ones. On a like-for-like basis the Queens property grew about 63%, and the four upstate casinos were flat.

Brightstar Lottery has renewed the technology contract behind the lottery of Spain's national organisation of the blind, a relationship that dates back to 2002. The release calls it multi-year and stops there: no end date, no value, and a scope limited to software and the central system.

New Jersey has written into regulation the automated triggers, three-phase interventions and account closures its online operators have run under regulator guidance since 2023. The rule is now enforceable, but on marketing to at-risk players it is narrower than the version proposed a year ago.

Two of the six prediction market operators Missouri ordered to stop offering sports event contracts went to federal court on Friday rather than comply. Both cases sit in the Eighth Circuit, which has yet to decide the question that has already split three other appeals courts.

Law 86-26 is in the Gaceta Oficial and the new regulator has an interim chief, but the decade-long licence freeze has not started. It begins only when a register of existing operators is published, more than a year from now, and the months before then decide who is inside it.
