On June 18, 2026, Kentucky filed lawsuits against prediction market platforms Kalshi and Polymarket, along with their partners Coinbase, Robinhood, and Webull.
The lawsuits assert that these platforms have been offering sports event contracts without the necessary state licenses, thereby circumventing local gambling regulations.
Kentucky's legal action reflects its commitment to enforcing state gambling laws and ensuring compliance among operators in the market.
