  • —Man lost over $25,000 on Kalshi after two years of self-exclusion
  • —Main bets were 15-minute Bitcoin price markets, up to 18 hours a day
  • —Pennsylvania's self-exclusion list has 30,000+ people; Kalshi is not included
  • —Kalshi offered pauses, opt-outs and deposit limits instead of closing the account
