Missouri Orders Polymarket and Kalshi to Halt Sports Event Markets

  • —Letters went to Polymarket, Kalshi, Crypto.com, Novig, Underdog and Robinhood
  • —Platforms have 30 days to stop offering sports event contracts in Missouri
  • —State says it lost license fees and a 10% wagering tax
  • —CFTC maintains exclusive federal oversight of the contracts
Why it matters: The state-versus-CFTC fight over prediction markets is escalating and could restrict sports contracts across the US.
