加州总检察长邦塔再联手各州护州博彩法：支持纽约与威斯康星对Kalshi执法
加州总检察长罗布·邦塔（Rob Bonta）11月6日宣布，加州加入两个跨党派的总检察长联盟，提交两份法庭之友意见书，支持纽约州与威斯康星州对预测市场运营商Kalshi执行本州体育博彩与博彩法律的权利。这是加州第十次和第十一次加入针对Kalshi及同类预测市场公司的多州联合行动。
邦塔说：「我们看到越来越多年轻人成为成瘾性博彩平台的猎物，现在是各州联手保护青少年的时候了。这次提交意见书体现了我们跨党派的承诺：捍卫各州对非法、无监管博彩活动的监管权。预测市场不能利用联邦漏洞绕过各州的消费者保护、体育博彩与博彩法律。我们坚定地与威斯康星、纽约及各州伙伴站在一起，确保联邦商品法律不被武器化，用来规避州法、助长赌博成瘾并破坏各州对合法博彩的监管。」
各州总检察长主要主张：把联邦优先适用原则套用到预测市场提供商头上、从而排除州博彩法，是不恰当的，也会损害各州监管博彩、保护弱势群体的传统角色。
在纽约一案（KalshiEX, LLC诉Williams等人）中，纽约州博彩委员会向Kalshi发出停止令后，Kalshi反诉委员会；地区法院驳回了Kalshi的初步禁令申请，裁定纽约博彩法适用于Kalshi体育赛事合约的部分不被联邦法优先排除，Kalshi已上诉至联邦第二巡回上诉法院。在威斯康星一案中，该州在州法院起诉Coinbase、Kalshi、Robinhood、Polymarket与Crypto.com，案件被移送联邦法院后，商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）另行提起联邦诉讼并申请初步禁令，试图阻止该州执行博彩法；地区法院驳回了CFTC的申请，CFTC已上诉至联邦第七巡回上诉法院。邦塔与阿拉巴马、亚利桑那、阿肯色、科罗拉多等数十个州的总检察长共同提交了这两份意见书。

Bonta Defends State Gambling Laws Against Kalshi for the Tenth and Eleventh Time
California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced on November 6 that California joined two bipartisan coalitions of attorneys general in filing two amicus briefs in support of New York and Wisconsin's right to enforce state sports gaming and gambling laws against prediction market operator Kalshi. The filings mark the tenth and eleventh time California has joined multistate amicus efforts targeting Kalshi and similar prediction market companies.
"We are seeing more and more young people being preyed upon by addictive gaming platforms and it is time for states to join together to protect our youth. This filing is representative of our bipartisan commitment to protecting state regulatory authority over illegal, unregulated gambling operations," Bonta said. "Prediction markets cannot use federal loopholes to bypass state consumer protection, sports gaming, and gambling laws. By joining this brief, we stand firmly with Wisconsin, New York, and our state partners to ensure that federal commodities laws are not weaponized to evade state laws, fuel gambling addiction, and undermine state regulation of legal gaming."
The attorneys general primarily argue that federal preemption of state gambling laws as applied to prediction market providers is improper and detrimental to the traditional role of states to regulate gambling and protect vulnerable citizens.
In the New York case, KalshiEX, LLC v. Williams, et al, Kalshi sued the New York State Gaming Commission after the Commission sent a cease-and-desist order to Kalshi. The district court denied Kalshi's preliminary injunction motion, holding that New York gambling laws as applied to Kalshi's sports-event contracts are not preempted, and Kalshi has appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Wisconsin case, Commodity Futures Trading Commission v. State of Wisconsin, arose out of Wisconsin's state-court action against Coinbase, Kalshi, Robinhood, Polymarket, and Crypto.com; after the cases were moved to federal court, the CFTC filed its own federal lawsuit and a motion for a preliminary injunction to block the state from enforcing its gambling laws, which the district court denied, and the CFTC has appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Bonta joined the attorneys general of dozens of states, including Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas and Colorado, in filing the briefs.
