Utah has filed a lawsuit against prediction market platform Kalshi and firms linked to Susquehanna, alleging the companies have facilitated illegal betting, according to The Defiant and The Block.

The state’s complaint describes Kalshi as a “back-alley gambling den,” according to The Block. Utah is seeking injunctions to halt the wagering, along with restitution and recovery of alleged gambling profits, according to The Defiant.

The lawsuit names Susquehanna-affiliated market-making firms, which Utah alleges helped keep wagering active on Kalshi’s platform even after Kalshi suffered a defeat in federal court, according to The Defiant. The Block reports that Utah is attempting to block Kalshi-hosted bets spanning sports, politics and cultural events.

The case adds Utah to the list of states pursuing legal action against Kalshi’s event-contract business, which has drawn scrutiny from regulators over whether its sports and political contracts amount to unlicensed gambling rather than permitted derivatives trading.
