Nevada Gaming Control Board asks state court to hold Kalshi in contempt – CDC Gaming
Arguing Kalshi is taking hundreds of millions of dollars in wagers on the World Cup and the NBA and Stanley Cup finals, the Nevada Gaming Control Board Friday asked a district court to hold the prediction market operator in contempt, arguing it hasn’t complied with a May 18 judicial order against offering sports betting in the state.
Filed with the First Judicial District Court for the State of Nevada, the filing accuses Kalshi of not geofencing its operations as required, so that “it does not offer or facilitate the offering of any sports-, election-, or entertainment-related event contracts” to anyone located in Nevada.
“Kalshi’s stubborn refusal to comply with the preliminary injunction is causing severe and ongoing harm to Nevada, its finances, and its citizens,” the court filing said. “Every day, Kalshi takes in hundreds of millions in wagers on such events as the NBA Finals, the Stanley Cup Finals and FIFA World Cup. At the same time, Kalshi is severely harming the gaming industry because it refuses to follow the same rules as its licensed sportsbook competitors who actually geofence. This is an intolerable state of affairs. In light of the Board’s investigation and Kalshi’s own admissions that establish its violation of the court order, the court shall hold Kalshi in contempt. Kalshi will never get the message otherwise.”
The Board requested the court to enter a finding of contempt and to impose significant monetary penalties for violation of the court order — either a “disgorgement of all ill-gotten gains” or a sanction of $120,000 a day.
“The court has required Kalshi to stop offering covered event contracts in Nevada,” Board Chair Mike Dreitzer said in a statement. “We will continue to vigorously enforce Nevada law to safeguard gaming in our state.”
In its filing, The Board said that Kalshi by its own admission has spent $190,000 on what regulators referred to as a “homegrown solution that relies only on internet protocol geofencing solutions” that regulators called “notoriously unreliable” for determining user’s locations. The Board accuses Kalshi of being unwilling to use accurate commercial geofencing solutions.
“This is just more from the same old Kalshi playbook; delay, delay, delay,” the court filing said. “Rather than comply with the court’s order Kalshi has taken only a half-hearted and ineffective measure, apparently hoping that the court will deem its meager efforts good enough, so that it can continue profiting at the expense of the state and its citizens.”
The Board said investigators were able to purchase sports betting contracts on Kalshi’s app for NBA playoff games, MLB games, a boxing match, a tennis match, and a celebrity wedding.
The Board has taken action in recent months to halt the operations of other prediction markets in the state and has successfully restricted all unlicensed prediction markets that had been known to be operating in Nevada, Dreitzer said.
The Board considers the offering of sports event contracts, along with certain other event contracts to constitute wagering activity under state law, meaning they must be licensed.
“Nevada’s public policy, as expressed by the Legislature, is that the gaming industry is vitally important to the economy of the state and the general welfare of the inhabitants and therefore must be licensed, controlled, and assisted to protect the public health, safety, morals, good order, and general welfare of the inhabitants of the state,” Dreitzer said.
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Federal authorities in Nevada have arrested a felon on a federal criminal complaint alleging he unlawfully possessed ammunition and privately manufactured firearms, including so-called “ghost guns” that lack serial numbers.
“Ghost guns are specifically designed to evade the law, making them the weapon of choice for individuals seeking to bypass background checks,” said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah for the District of Nevada. “Our office will aggressively prosecute anyone who manufactures or distributes these untraceable weapons, ensuring they are held accountable for undermining public safety.”
“The rise of ghost gun manufacturing threatens our community, prompting the FBI and its partners to join forces in combating criminals who bring their unsafe practices into our neighborhoods,” said Special Agent in Charge Christopher S. Delzotto for the FBI Las Vegas Field Office.
According to the complaint, Chang Tan possessed firearms on Aug. 4, including a privately manufactured 5.56x45mm semi-automatic rifle and eight privately manufactured 3-D printed AR-15 pattern lower receivers. The complaint also alleges Tan possessed more than 500 rounds of 5.56x45mm ammunition and .300 AAC Blackout ammunition.
Tan has multiple prior felony convictions, including fraud activity connected with computers in the Northern District of Illinois and sale of controlled substance in Clark County, Nevada. Because of those convictions, he is prohibited by law from possessing a firearm or ammunition, authorities said.
Tan is charged with one count of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and one count of possession of ammunition by a prohibited person. If convicted, the statutory maximum penalty is 10 years confinement and three years supervised release.
Chattah and Delzotto made the announcement. The case was investigated by the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant U.S. Attorney Dan Cowhig is prosecuting the case.
A criminal complaint is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Nevada has three players vying to be starting quarterback
Nevada has three players vying to be starting quarterback — Luke Donald, AJ Bianco and Carter Jones.
The highest-profile position on the Nevada football team is a three-way battle as the Wolf Pack prepares for its season opener on Sept. 5.
Sophomore Carter Jones, senior Luke Donald and fifth-year AJ Bianco are all vying to be the Pack’s starting quarterback this fall.
Coach Jeff Choate says he will not wait until the end of fall camp to announce who will be under center for the opener at Mackay Stadium against Western Kentucky (kickoff set for 7:30 p.m.)
Jones was thrown into the role midway through last season as the Wolf Pack struggled to score and was plagued by turnovers. He is the likely candidate to start as QB1.
Donald played for UCLA last season and was the Bruins starter in their game at Ohio State.
Bianco is a grad student in his fifth season with the Wolf Pack.
Jones played in 10 games last season at Nevada completing 110 of 171 passes.
Donald joined the Wolf Pack in the spring and said he feels comfortable now after spending the spring and summer working with the team, and hanging out on the river.
He said winning the starting QB role will come down to leadership, accuracy throwing the football and moving the offense.
“You’ve got to compete every day. That’s my mindset. I’m going to do everything I can,” Donald said. “This whole team is a bunch of competitors.”
Bianco said he was not tempted to leave Nevada to try to play for another school.
“I’ve weighed things out and every time I look at Nevada, I said this is a good spot for me,” Bianco said. “I think I have a good shot at this competition.”
Jones said improving his footwork was a priority during the offseason, along with learning how to take better care of the ball. He had eight interceptions last season, with six touchdowns.
Offensive coordinator Brett Bartolone said all the quarterbacks are much improved since the spring.
He said showing consistency will be a big key in determining the starter.
Naming the starter well before the opener will help the rest of the team adapt to whoever wins the job.
Throwing the deep pass — and completing it — will be a focus this season.
“I want the guy that we can all trust. That’s not going to turn the ball over,” Bartolone said. “We’re going to be able to run the ball. If we don’t turn the ball over, we’re going to be successful on offense.
“The guy that can overall operate. Makes good decisions, who is poised, who is resilient and ultimately moves his team downfield, that’s going to be the guy,” Bartolone said.
He said the Pack should have a good offensive line, anchored by Jack Foster and Zach Cochnauer, and that will lead to increased confidence for the backs.
“They have a lot of experience. They play well together. They communicate well together,” Bartolone said. “They’re coached by one of the best in the country, coach (Cam) Norcross. They work their tails off. They’re a nasty group and they’re a confident bunch.”
RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – New data from AAA Nevada shows lower crude oil prices are driving down the cost of gas in Nevada.
They say the average cost of a gallon of gas in Nevada dropped three cents over the past week and is now $4.78.
Crude oil prices have dropped down into the $70 per barrel range as AAA Nevada says there is optimism that the Strait of Hormuz will resume normal operations.
“Nevadans are still paying about $1.03 more per gallon than they were at this point in 2025,” said Doug Johnson, spokesperson for AAA Mountain West Group. “But gas prices typically start going down this time of year, as demand decreases and people settle into their fall routines.”
The average cost of a gallon of gas in Reno is $5.10, while the average cost of a gallon of gas in Las Vegas is $4.78.
